    'Reservoirless' top off systems?

    yeah, i've had personal experience with that. I did a water change once where i left the ATO on and it started dumping lost of freshwater into the system. I didn't catch it right away and my SG dropped from .026 to .020. Not good. Between the 2 solenoids and a timer, i don't think you'd...

    'Reservoirless' top off systems?

    asv = auto shutoff valve? cool. I was worried i'd been leaving the supply valve from the house water line open and it was ruining my RO/DI filter.

    'Reservoirless' top off systems?

    this is starting to make much more sense. I can use my JBJ ATO to control the solenoids. This will eliminate the need for a ro/di storage tank. One question remains though. Where do you mount these solenoids? Before or after the ro/di unit...or does it matter?

    'Reservoirless' top off systems?

    That's what i've been reading as well. Seems most people do this. Don't know why I didn't think of this the first time i designed my current system. Do you put the solenoid before or after the RO/DI unit? Reason I ask is I have the water running ot my RO/DI unit all the time. I don't...

    'Reservoirless' top off systems?

    that would work, but how do i hook the top off motor up to the storage tank? I have one of those 3g metal storage tanks that came with the RO/DI unit I bought. You can attach the input line from the RO filter onto the top of the tank and it keeps it full until pressure builds up and stops...

    'Reservoirless' top off systems?

    Does anyone know of a reservoirless auto top off system? TO clearify whtat I mean, this would be an RO/DI auto top off system that didn't require a reservoir of fresh RO/DI water to pump into the sump/system. I'm limited on space and I'm thinking I could use my current 15g RO/DI reservoir...

    Is this green cyano?

    actually, the algae does just blow off with a turkey baster. I thought it didn't but I tried it and sure enough it just comes right off. Also, the picture is just really white. The Torch looks a lot better than it does in that pic. I do target feed it every now and then with mysis.

    Is this green cyano?

    it does not just blow off. it's encrusted on there.

    Is this green cyano?

    i know normal cyano is blue-green or brownish-red in color and usually grows on the sand. That's why i'm asking because this stuff grows like coraline algae does (onto rocks, etc) is dark green and started growing on the base of my torch coral. So i'm not so sure it is cyano...but it's the only...

    Is this green cyano?

    This green slim algae started growing a couple of places in the tank. It's a dark green color and has slowly grown to where it's at now. Is this green cyano OR is it something else? TIA

    Protien-Skimmer...

    I had to upgrade skimmers so i'm selling my Aqua C Remora. It's in perfect working condition, and there's no cracks. I've had it about a year and it's skimmed flawlessly. Super easy to use and made very well.

    Skimmer advice on a 75g...

    i bought an asm g2 today. I will have to make some adjustments to my sump to accomodate it's footprint...but it's nothing that would take me more than an hour or two. My RO/DI auto top off system will have to change though. I'm currently using half of my sump to hold approx. 15g of RO/DI...

    MJ mod spins backwards

    forgive me but i still don't know how this acrylic rod helps the prop right itself. Do you have any pics or other info on what exactly it looks like and how it works?

    Skimmer advice on a 75g...

    So what about these octopus skimmers? Anybody vouch for them? Also, what's a recirc skimmer?

    Skimmer advice on a 75g...

    not really. I've got a 30g sump underneath the tank. I have room for a bigger skimmer...just not a big refugium.

    Skimmer advice on a 75g...

    Hey guys, I'm looking into keeping SPS and upgrading from my Remora skimmer to a bigger one. While the Remora is good, I think it's a bit underpowered for my tank espcially considering i'm going to start keeping SPS. I'm limited on the size of Fuge I can have because of space restraints. So...

    My MJ Mod+Swirl Stein Report

    it's the mj 1200. The swirlstien was easy to make. I'm a DIY guy though. I got it right the first time. Yes, it's the only powerhead. I use to have 2 MJ 600's and 1 900 in there. But with the MJ mod i removed all of them. I still have the two return nozzles that keep the other side of the...

    My MJ Mod+Swirl Stein Report

    I had troubles at first getting the MJ 1200 to spin the Dumas 3004. I think part of the problem might be that the propeller is litterally an 1/8 of an inch away from the center brace on the end of the shroud. Do you think if I push the prop back further towards the MJ that it'll be easier to...
