I have used Bart PE to boot the system to a virtual operating system (XP) and have run several Spyware/adware removal programs, so it could be spyware that is causing a conflict somewhere. I would almost bet however it is a virus of some sort but I will default to jsr who works for Microsoft. . .

Are you running Windows Defender. This is a free spyware software available from Microsoft. I have several spyware/adware programs I can ge t to you if needed. Is the system booting at all or is it rebooting over and over? You can also run a repair to Windows. PM me. . .

I use mag drives because an 18 came with the 150. I also have a mag 3 for pumping DI/RO water out of 55 gallon drum to the aquariums and I picked up a 5 and 7 from AAI during their GOB sale.

Well, after several days of running the Koralia's all but one seems to have quieted down. I have not cleaned them yet. I guess there is a break in period. (I was looking for instant gratification.) When I clean them and the odd ball is still making noise I will probably return it.

To help make this information useful it would be nice to post the results as a sticky making the info more accessible. What has been tested so far? What is being used as a baseline? And what are we testing for? Also I agree the test should be conducted from the same water source if we are shooting for continuity. Just a thought. . . Dave-

Got Topic?

now I'm a real geek with my TDS meter in my pocket protector.
-
Funny, using the free TDS meter my RO/DI filter water reads 8 and my waste waters reads 209. I checked against my in-line TDS meter which reads 0 on filtered water and 109 on waste water.

Does it work?

Are you using this with a pendant or mogul? -
Thanks for the input. I will take them out and clean them once the salt is mixed. I guess I'll put them back in afte the sand storm. . .
-
will hurt to leave them in until the salt is mixed?

Did you buy it new or from someone? You should be able get from the PFO website. -
Last night we filled the tank with water and added the salt. I used 4 Koralia 4 to mix the salt. When I fired them up they made an awful racket. Kinda like a vibrating sound with has a low hum and every now in then will get loud. Did I screw them up by using them to mix the salt or is this normal? I bought them #1 for the amount of water movement they will provide in the 150 and also because they are supposed to be quite!!! Dave-

Anyone get theirs yet?
-
Dooh!

Again it depends on tank size and occupants. Start with the recommend dosage and test, test, test. . . the adjust accordingly. I dose 3mil of A and 5 mil of B every three days in our 29. Of course I only have a couple of birdnests.

May have done this I can't find it. . . a link to the chat on the home page?

Shhhhhhhhhhh don't tell him or we'll all lose!

I know this is another opended end question but you folks have been very helpful getting our reef system up. . . I was wondering what is being use to dose 2 part solutions like B-Ionic. I am growing tried of dosing my 29 and I feel it would be worst with the 150. I have been looking at IV pumps and such. I would like to stay under $150 and I don't want to deal with gravity feed products. I have been looking at these to products as well COMPACT 199235 AQUARIUM DOSING PUMP W/NEW TUBING Reef Dosing Pump What do you suggest? TIA, Dave and Robin-
-
Thanks James, The idea is use the 10k for a year to encourage growth then switch to 14 or 20k because Robin likes the look. . .

The canopy for the 150 will be delivered today. I will have 2x250 MH 10K lights inside 2 "lumenbright" reflectors. The bulbs will be 8-10" above the water with a tank depth of 22" after subtracting the 2" sandbed. I will be moving stock from my 29 which has 1x150 MH 14K which is 5" above the water with a tank dept of 17" after subtracting the 1" sandbed. My question is do I need to acclimate the new corals to the 250s? I have green birdnest, purple birdnest, red digitati, couple of rics, a blasto, some polys, zoos and assorted LPS. TYA, Dave-
