    LED fixtures and PAR ratings

    Here are the units I ordered for my 30" deep tank. I have seen two of them and have more than enough PAR for SPS in the upper 1/2. http://www.reef2reef.com/forums/reef-koi/45696-new-299-leds-reefkoi-corals.html

    R/O Installation

    Carmela, one way to warm up the water, and increase the flow is to take a big coil of 1/4" ID tubing and place it in a bucket of water with a heater in it. This warms up the water coming out of your cold water pipe before it gets to the RO unit.

    If you can get a multi meter and measure to see if you are getting voltage, that would be a start.

    pickling lime

    I took a 1 gallon bottle of gatorade and drilled out the center of the cap. I placed a 2" piece of 1/4" OD tube in the hole and siliconed it to the cap. I then placed the bottel upside down, in my sump and held it in place with a wooden board so that the top of the 2" tube was right at the...

    Pinched Mantle

    I think any water passing through the UV filter is being sterilized. Seems to me, that it could be a viable way to at least control the protazoan and keep it in check. I realize that protazoan are microscopic organizims but any that get irradiated will be killed off.

    Lets talk closed loops....

    Yep, I have a small pump that is a return from my fuge/sump but it just makes the surface of the water move to break up scum. I keep a mixed tank, one side is SPS the other Softies and LPS.

    Pinched Mantle

    So if it's a prozoan, why wouldn't a UV sterilizer help keep it it check?

    Lets talk closed loops....

    for a 180, you can use a hammerhead. I use a Dart on my 125 and have 3 returns split into 6 returns using 3/4" loc line.

    Phosban reactor 150 question

    You can use phosban or rawphaws in the chamber. You can get the phosban from two little fishes or marine depot.

    Calfo Manifold Flow Rate Question

    IIRC, with the CLM you don't lose any head pressure so your flow should be whatever the output flow of the pump is. When you design your CLM, your total intake, into the pump, should be greater than your output. If it's not, then you stand the chance of cavitation in the pump and blowing air...

    To drill or not to drill, that is the question

    Here are the 1" drill bits, they are actually 45mm but will allow you to put a 1" bulkhead in the hole. http://cgi.ebay.com/45mm-Diamond-coated-drill-bit-bits-hole-saw-glass-tile_W0QQitemZ180081020398QQihZ008QQcategoryZ41501QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    Ozone, the good, the bad, and the ugly!!!

    ozone usually breaks down into harmless gas in 20-30 seconds. I have mine flowing through my EV-180 with no carbon and I have no ozone odor at all.
