  1. I see you got some of my Fugly zoos ( the brown hairy ones) I polluted the Edmonton area with those about 5 years ago now the whole city has them :boxed: I would frag them up at the frag meets and have Murray's famous 5 buck zooz would make between $150-300 just on those zoos :shock: Then when i couldn't sell them anymore I polluted with xenia the last couple years I have just giving it away now i just flush it no one wanted it( last week covered the bottom of 2 ice cream pails) but i see some people on canreef have been selling xenia again guess i should start mounting some up.

    oh PS nice system there :thumbs:

  2. I take care of most of the trucking into the Edmonton water treatment plants. I cannot tell you what it is all used for but I know some.

    Sod Hypocholite(bleach) water treatment

    Sod hydroxide (caustic) PH adjustments

    Aluminum hydroxide (alum) PH adjustments

    Hydrochloric acid (HCL) PH adjustments

    Chlorine toners water treatment

    Poly aluminum chloride (PAC) takes out suspended soilds

    Aqua ammonia ?? think goes with chlorine to make chlorime

    Fluosilicic Acid (flouride) used to make teeth nice a white...but now is used very little

  3. I usually wet skim, but if I am going to be away I turn the skimmer to dry skim so there is less chance of an overflow (I have no sump so I am cautious). If you take this question over to canreef you are bound to get more opinions from some much more experienced reefers than me.

    does you skimmer have a little plug thats blocked off for a hose? if so drill it out and make a snorkle out of ridged tubbing to just below the height of the cup lid then add a hose to the nipple on the bottom to go back to tank. So if the cup will fill but when it get near the top it will go down the overflow(snorkle) back into the tank so none hits the floor
