Do you buy bulk carbon? It's $15 for 10oz here.
Either this


Or I stop by the local Rainsoft dealer and buy it a cubic foot at a time lol. About 100 bucks for 27 or so pounds. But they do not always have a bag in stock.

Edit: The bulk in a bag has a lot of dust to be washed off, as they trhow the bags around when loading/unloading.

But either way, 100 bucks for a 5 gallon bucket full is a lot cheaper than $15 for 10 oz.

Nice! Your green looks like a very happy camper!
Thanks man! I was really worried about them for a minute but cipro saved the day! Started with 4 one melted, the other 3 were headed that way , now I’m back to 4 of them due to split and looking healthy

And you were running 250/night?

How far into your Cipro dose did it take it before you were noticeably seeing results?

I ran it for 10 days and yes started with 500mg first and last night , 250mg every night in between . I was worried if the dosage was too low would actually make things worse lol so I went hard , I didn’t notice any improvements until 7 days in

Not sure if relevant but the first night I also target fed the nems with the cipro to make sure they got some , they didn’t like it but I think they needed it

Just remember, you will need to keep dosing for at least 2 weeks after the last bit dies. This will ensure that no root structures make it. All it takes is on small root to live and it starts all over again.

Anyone looking for a @noopsyche discount code of 130$? Here ya go GST55NQ8ZNKX. I do have to say this is the first time I’ve won two “giftcards” and didn’t use either one of them. Due to their practices I’d rather not own anything from them, so someone else should use it before it expires.

I would use it just to see how the heck to hack one to run on Apex or reefpi. My understanding is that the biggest issue is the controller.
