    Help!!! Fish Are Dying !!

    Is there a way to clean the tank so that the fish in my small tank could go in the large tank while the QT is being treated??? I just checked my ammonia it is up just a bit to 0.5ppm. I will be doing another water change shortly. DB

    I have a controller running everything... Temp is never lower than 78 or higher than 81-82 on the hot days. Flow is coming from a 1200gph return and a closed loop 2700gph.

    Most recent fish added was a Powder Blue Tang, about three weeks ago. He was not quarantined, my small tank has other inhabitants. I will be emptying that tank of other creatures and making it a qt. How long will this diseases stick around in a tank. Or how can I get rid of them? Would a UV...

    Help!!! Fish Are Dying !!

    In the past few days I have lost 4 fish. They start by looking a little pail in color or bleached out. Then their eyes get a little cloudy. Water is all proper except for my Alk. I have done 2 LARGE water changes in the last 24hr's. Two fish vanished and I have not been able to find them...

    Ro waste valve making noise

    Water Hammer What is causing the hammering? Is it just because the water is shutting down so quickly??? This would make sense but I'm interested in the reason. Below you will find a photo of the system connection. It is operated by a ball valve off the cold side at the hot water tank. DB

    Ro waste valve making noise

    My ro unit makes noise everytime it turns on or off. The waste valve makes all kinds of noise that transfers thru the wall to the living room. How do I make it silent? DB

    PVC glue time

    I haven't done anything yet. I plan to this weekend. And yes I will use primer. I do not believe in not! I have done nearly a mile of pvc. ( Irrigation systems) I just do not want to cause any water issues in the tank. DB

    PVC glue time

    How long before I allow my aquarium water to flow thru fresh glue? The can states that you can pressurize after 2 hours. So would you say that it could be sooner since there is no pressure to speak of or could there still be a contamination factor before that 2 hour time period? DB

    Controllers

    Took the plunge!! I just purchased a RK2 to put on my 120. The directions are a bit vague, but it is a very nice unit. It is cool to look at the PH, Temp at any time. I got home tonight and my fans were on cooling the tank down. We'll see how well I programed it after one complete 24 hour...

    Auto tank drain???

    So would you pump water back to the tank from both sumps, or just the primary? It sounds as if you would have dual sumps and could alternate if you had an issue, of course you would have to run the equipment in the sump that is being used. What size pvc should one be using to get max volume out...

    overflow with noisy gurgle flushing

    The latest update So after a bit more trial and error I have come up with a SILENT solution. I took and drilled a 23/64 hole in the top of my 1" cap. (top of standpipe) Then stuffed a 3/8" clear plastic tube in about 5/16" in the cap.(Total length is about 5"). Then on top of all this is a...
