    Skimmers and Phytoplankton

    I turn off the skimmer for about 4 hours after dosing. How quickly? I dont know. But it would depend on the concentration, the skimmer, flow, and etc.

    My god, everything is from China

    I really think the USA is screwed. China has too much US Dollars. I dont think the 'Made not from China' bandwaggon will hold. If it does, China will dump their US Dollar and drive our economy down the crappola chute.

    New Kalk Reactor Design

    Good design. Finally a design w/o a pump. I was thinking of making one after seeing the Tunze Calcium Dispenser. I think the puny Tunze unit is like yours and is sold for just below $100. Is your dosing pump before or after the kalk reactor.

    You left this out: Palytoxin is the most toxic natural product known, it is estimated that the lethal dose for a human is less than five micrograms. Supplies are extremely limited as it is only found at low concentrations in the corals that do contain it, although this may change if a microbial...

    Dual Photoperiod?

    I have a 2 MHs + 2 VHOs. The timer turns off just the 2 MHs when the temperature is too high. The 2 MH would be on again after 30 minutes. The 2 VHOs stay on the entire photoperiod. During these wicked summer days, I would have about 2-3 cycles.

    xbox 360 PS3 or Wii

    Being 2nd hand, make sure M$ will cover the waranty of your used xbox360. There's a design flaw on the XBox 360 that will cost M$ a billion dollar.

    Lighting timers/controllers

    I have the ACJr + DC8. I only have the temperature probe . I use it as a glorified timer. I also use it to turn off my MH once the tank temperature gets to 83deg. Before my Tunze, I used the ACJr as a wavemaker. I love it.
