Isaac Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 ...oh, i decided to get a new hanna phosphate standard before i mess with Red Sea NO3:PO4-X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 hanna standard came in today... mine reads on the lower end of the range.. so its accurate. guess ill start putting Red Sea NO3:PO4-X in the PCA pump that used to dose everclear. costco let me return and rebuy my generator w/ just the receipt, saved 55 bux! saw a bristleworm that looked much larger than the holes on the trap I made, so im gonna print one w/ larger holes.

Jnaylor Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 How frequently are you cleaning off your algae scrubber? Looks like you pull off quite a bit! I should keep a bucket of that in my house. Just a quick sniff and I lose my appetite weight loss plan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have any UPS's this will power, you have to set their sensitivity to "low." The way a generator works, it only supplies as much power as requested. the UPS was flipping between line/battery indefinately because when the UPS flipped to line, the genny added more power, then the UPS saw this as power is back on.. back and forth. anyways, my time was filled lastnight while on geny power. got 4 ups's reconfigured. also, hooking this up to the house mid-downpour w/ lighting cracking everywhere is freaky as hell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 guess its a perfect time to show my modifications and house hookup... removed gas tank, made a basket for cables... added meters (3d printed mount) and wired to the house. i had to paint over original writing, because i had to move breakers around... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
