I have switched over to ReefCon Pro since the last entry, and have been using it ever since. However since I started using the new Beta version because of the new tank log feature, I have stopped writing in here. So 1 October I ran into a small dilemma. The software expired. Even though I purchased a license, the BETA expired and there is no indication the publisher is going to release a new version anytime soon.
I took the easy way out - I have decided publishing my MacJournal diary entries to a new blog site would be the best to keep it neatly organised by topic.
Great. Today my solenoid decided to break. So my Ca reactor had been running for more than 10 hours with no CO2 supply... This caused the whole tank to be cloudy.
I am wondering whether this is the cause for the sudden cyno outbreak on the LR?
At the end of September I started a new tank - a predator fish only tank. The idea originally was to use the QT tank for this purpose once I had a fully stocked main reef aquarium, but then a couple of things happened that made this unpractical.
Firstly, the QT tank is too small for the fish I actually wanted - the Volitans Lionfish. That fish can grow up to 38cm, and need a turning area of the same width. The QT tank is only about 32cm wide...
My Feather Star lost the center piece of it’s body - I assume this is where the mouth is located. This means it will die shortly since it cannot feed anymore. Lesson learnt - if the literature says an animal is IMPOSSIBLE to keep alive, trust them. You are not more special than the guy next door. Stop buying these animals then hopefully they will be left on the reefs where they belong.
If you like Apple Machintosh computers like I do, and you have recently purchased a MacBook Pro you'd also be frustrated at the increased delay (20-30 seconds) when trying to sleep the notebook. My G4 usually went to bed in 2 seconds. Since I very regularly need to take my notebook with me to meetings and clients, I use sleep intensively. The reason for the increased delay is NOT due to the Intel architecture. It has everything to do with a feature called SafeSleep.
During the course of life and work I had crossed paths with a huge amount of applications for the Macintosh platform. I have compiled a small list of the most useful applications that I cannot see myself go without.
Mori
Mori is a general purpose outliner/notebook that I use extensively to collect and sort all the bits of information one generates during life. It is rather new but powerful, however there are still some critical features missing such as customisable folder views etc.
