Good Day People,
I am Snake. I normally do not inform people how I received the name. I shall make an exception. I was given that name by the Late Sgt. Mac USMC because I can move through the jungles very fast, quietly, as a snake in the grass. Later on (two years) , I tore a man’s throat out with my teeth when he attempted to kill me and my Brother Marine. Enough said.
Since I have receive NO phone calls, which I gladly gave my office phone number to SkyLab1 and said I would call back so the person calling would not be stuck with the large bill.
1st. I do NOT give any confidential information. If you believe I should then please write Northrupt and ask them for the inner workings of their ECW, or Intel and request all their data concerning how they make their chips. When they gladly give you their trade secrets then I shall be next to follow.
2nd . This is NEW SCIENCE. Do not relate anything you have learned before hand because this does not apply to what you learned in the hobby, or school.
3rd . I had 11 years of failures and 5 years in the Patent office. The Examiner, called me numerous times to explain to him (he had is PhD in Bacteria) because it was so radical. Finally when I convinced him and 40,000 dollars poorer, I received my patents.
4th The system is based upon math, nothing else. We have formulas which we use and if one follows the math, it works every time, not some of the time. If you read comments that it did not work, usually one of the parameters is out of whack. We ask people to call and after a series of question tell them what is wrong. They follow our instructions and in 24 hours they see results.
5th Have been in the Carbon Business since 1976. I use to write for TFH magazine a while back. I wrote many articles concerning Activated carbon. What I see posted on these boards makes me laugh because the people are repeating misinformation concerning carbon that others have published, or have “thought to be the case”
6th When using our system, the following happens every time, not just some of the time.
a) 24 total AEROBIC Cycling. This can be achieve in either Fresh, brackish or salt water. I have a 19 L (Five Gallon) tank set up with the box filter, two watchman gobies and 2 percs for SEVEN YEARS. No substrate at all, just the box filter, Trace element blox and a 20 percent water change every two weeks. I no longer check my values because when I have run them through to make sure it was accurate in my HP GC, the values of N and P were in the (for the hobby only I use this term which is incorrect) Parts per Billion not million.
b) Reduction of Nitrates (NO3) AEROBICALLY. As you noticed the Ocean Enviro LLC test clearly shows that. This company is involved in a multi BILLION project concerning Waste Water and Drinking water nitrate reduction. No Mal gas occurs, only N2 and CO2.
c) Reduction of Phosphate. Many of the hobby tanks that have followed our instructions, have shown N=0 and P=0 as long as they keep the TBPC cleaned.
d) Elevation of pH, Ca, etc ALK without precipitation. When I read that post, I realized people were thinking along old science and not new science. We have achieve growth rates of 2.5 to 3 INCHES a year on giant clams whereby normally 1/4 inch or a little more is considered great.
7th No need to use a skimmer. A fractionator in the environmental business is the same as a skimmer in the aquarium business. We DO use fractionators for FRESH WATER. The protein is consumed by this bacteria so quickly your fractionator will no longer function. One less piece of equipment needed and maintained.
8th There are no need for bio balls (which were invented for distilling alcohol) or a fluid bed.
9th The only components needed are TBPC, Right Now! Bacteria, pH Rock (if it is your desire to stabilize your pH and Ca levels in 24 hours, and trace element blox. A pressure filter is the best because the it elevates ONLY in the canister the DO.
10th. The DO (by meter not by aquarium test kits) in Fresh water is usually 10+ ppm (Gas measurement in water) and 8+ ppm in Salt water.
11th No additional pumps are needed. Only the discharge from the filters.
12th No additional filtration is need.
13th, there is NO difference in the normal Nitrogen Cycle in the ocean and in fresh or brackish water. The same with the new Nitrogen L or cycle of mien.
This is an overview for you to digest. We do NOT nor have we in the PAST nor shall we in the FUTURE sell to the public. Please do not ever ask, the answer is NO!
Now to clear up a few misconceived notions.
Water DOES off gas at the surface. Where do you think the ocean, rivers, and streams have their gas exchange rate? That is why the CO2 which does not have a great affinity for water. When CO2 is driven off, it creates a small vacuum and air enters solution.
I suggest you read the book Biological Treatment of sewage and Industrial waste, Aerobic Oxidation, Reinhold Publishing Corporation
Corals inhabit the same ecosystem as fish, thus the flow rates for both should be the same, but in this hobby for some reason someone had decided the flow rates are different.
Concerning lighting Dr Ashley has been conducting year long tests with lighting and the aquarium
[email protected] He has found what his scientific data presents is totally opposite of what is touted by the aquarium trade. You most likely can read his reports when he publishes them in his book, but not before hand.
I cannot believe the misinformation concerning Activated Carbon. There are many different carbon materials that Activated Carbon is made of. The CTC or Iodine number (the molasses testing for activity has not been used for years, so when someone quotes that, I smirk) does not reveal the true components of what the carbon is made of and how it will perform. We tailor make carbon for industrial / environmental companies, so we must know what and why certain carbon materials work or do not work in certain cases. Guessing and relaying false information only hurts this hobby without that person knowing they are doing as such.
Now if anyone wishes to contact me via phone again my phone number is 562 428 9973 M-F PST for further information.
Remember the bumble bee cannot fly because of it’s aerodynamics, Man cannot travel faster than 60 miles and hour before he dies, You cannot make and fly in a machine that is heaver than air, how can you be so silly to think pictures can fly through the air and end on a screen so you can see themman can never walk on the moon, and there is no such thing as a 24 totally Aerobic Nitrogen Cycle for aquarium tanks (or anything else for that matter) because the “experts” have deem it such.
Respectfully submitted,
Snake

Their information appears to me as if someone who has little understanding of the science trying to explain things by piecing together - often erroneously - scattered bits of loosely pertinent ideas (and doing a rather poor job at it).
