I've got him to cut back on dosing to 100mL/day of each and stop the kalk altogether. I wanted him to stop all dosing for a bit so see how things balance out but he wasn't that comfortable with that...

I believe he is using baking soda which he bakes in the oven first. I agree this is the likely the main issue, adding 10x the recommended dosage of this is going to cause a lot of precipitation which...

Not super low flow, it's a decent size sump but the mag 1800 is running at full open so the sump turn over rate is pretty high. The alk is being dosed automatically along with the kalk top off but...

Does this make them more likely to win or less likely? Statistically speaking it would be less. ;)

Small amount of voltage is perfectly normal, you'll never get zero, if you do you need a better voltmeter. I personally wouldn't use a ground probe. A GFI is a good idea, I use them on everything...

Would you be drilling the side or the back? Both can be done with a partially full tank but drilling the side is much safer. Done this a few times without ever having an issue, the thicker the glass...

You're probably looking at either halide or LED given the size, unless it's 2 feet long then T5s would also be an option. Guessing that it's for SPS I would probably go with a 24 LED retro kit....

Heat it up. Same thing happens with rotors all the time, WD40 probably won't do anything. Use a propane torch and heat the ring up, careful not to burn any hoses or heat up any other parts. If it's...

The heat from the fireplace is directed away from the tank, I've had it on for a while and even the stone around it stays pretty cool.

Yes it will cascade downwards but the main...

Salmon Arm campgrounds

Anyone recommend a nice campground in the Salmon Arm area that is someone more geared towards a younger crowd (not so family oriented) and not too strict on the standard rules? Dog friendly as well.
