My humble 3ft - PLEASE ADVICE -

[yiling]

Hi Des,

Yah, I saw thw new ripples create by the 20hf - its awesome! Looks like your overflow can handle the aditional flows of the 20hf.

The 820 is an good alternative too, if your want the tunze make sure your get the 6060 (cannot control) or the 6000 (controllable) course th2 6080 or the 6100 will be too strong for you.

HI Gouldian,

ya it did... but i feel that a perfect choice among rio would be 36HF instead.

i've just narrowed my shopping list to a deltec or h&s for skimmer.

and the seio 820, 1100 or the tunze 6060.

i just read from some books that i borrowed from the lib saying...the stronger the better current..

hehe

HI all, i've got a problem here.

I've been trying to use the salifert testkit for NH4.

But after 2 times, the color comes outs as grey.

This color is also not listed on the color chart that im supposed to compare with...

Has anyone encounter this problem before? ?

Did you follow the test instructions properly?

If yes, most likely the test kit is faulty.

Just to let you know that those china floating hydrometer are very inaccurate in terms of the SG reading. It shows 1.025 but its actually 1.030 when I got my reflectometer. Unless of course you using tropic Marin one...
