    Dehumidifier water

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hmm?  Not sure if I have any aliens growing in my dehumidifier yet it's in a bedroom and new I have to empty the barrel. I did top off 3 tank's with it adding cichlid salt,s to the  Tanganikan tank,s and nothing to the South America  bio  just about one inch to each.

    Just a quick helpful tip if you're upgrading to a canister.

    I understand why you used the rocks but I wouldn't have myself if the sponge is cycled. You would probably be just fine the tank is full of  BB  you are losing out on what a good porous media in the filter would do for you. If the tank has been running for a while now and your just making changes to your type of filter using your old sponge filters you should be ok. I myself hate them filter types the O rings and such. Make sure your useing some lube on the rings.  Just  chep Vaseline is fine.

    Dehumidifier water

    I put in a dehumidifier in my small fish room. I have a 50gal barrel for the drain off. The top off rate on the tank's is up and  I'm very cool with that.

    The question is did I just make 45gl of R/O water. The test strip showed GH/KH at 0 PH 6.0

    So I dont have water to my garage.. I need a good way to get water to my garage without plumbing it in. My thought process was I could plumb water to the room but itsabout 20 feet away. I have 2 hose spigots close and want to utilize them. I dont want to hard line the water although it would be the best. I was thinking a sort to "jumper" connection from the spigot to the garage. IDK just thinking out loud. Give me some ideas and input please !! Ill add pictures tomorrow.

    Plumbing is a big part of the hobby 

    Light information on marineland led pod

    in Plants, Algae, and Fertilizers

    Posted

    I have a marineland aquarium light pod system. 

    It has been in a box for some time and works. The pods just snap onto the strip. The strip is in test mode on my 45gl tall the pods have 4 led,s per unit. You can place the pods in any configuration on the strip . The line up left to right now is  W/P/B/W/W/P/W/W/B/P/W letters stand for white/plant/blue. I can't do a PAR Test. If anyone has a history with this system please feel free it help. I will stick to low the medium plants to start.

    Should I use this old 55gal tank as a refugium

    I water change system will happen I've already run the pvc line. My problem is iam on a  Septic system I can't dump that kind of water into it as old as it is I have no way to drain . I would have to  Capture and pump. I have to treat the water  .so the plan is pump to a holding tank / treat/ pump to tank's. I may have to revise the idea for waste water. Florida home so it all has to go overhead through the attic. In and out

    Fun don't you thing? But i am totally committed to the project. Retirement in 5yr  . This is going to be baby. 🐢

    The plan in the display tank is still open. Over stock cichlid tank ? Maybe? the main reason is time extended water changes due to my job.  Cichlids are on my mind but a over stocked tank will run out of room  in time. This fish room is a 10x12 bedroom  using 3 out of the four walls due to a window I don't want to block.

    🐚 dwellers are in the lab's are in  75 now and two more 75g mixed are wet around the house . My 30 year old 45 tall is getting sealed. I have piston pump to install .  Most of the rescue fish. ( and yes they all came to me as rescue fish.) I have a 55gal just full of cory Cats  😆  what  huge project.
