    Kalk or cal reactor?

    Is there a reason we should be using both? If you are using a Kalk reactor should you still use a cal reactor. I'm using a cal reactor but still having trouble keeping the cal up. So I want to use a Kalk reactor for my ro water since i'm going through about 3 gallons a day. Thanks Ken

    UV sterilizer

    I use one on my 120, it came with the set up that I bought used. It's a turbo twist 9w. I can't compare it to not useing it, it's alway's been on the tank. It seem to work well, no alage on the glass or rocks. I don't think I would go and buy one since I don't think they are needed. Everything...

    Removing clams from rocks

    What is the best way to remove a clam from a rock? I would like to trade or sell the clams but don't want to let the rocks go with it. I didn't put the clams on the rock they came that way when I bought the set up. They are very happy where they are and don't want to move. Thanks

    need help with my plumbing PLEASE

    You should be fine now, big pumps are fine just add a tee and a ball valve and you should be fine. I run bigger pumps so I can add plumming to them so I can run other things with the same pump.

    need help with my plumbing PLEASE

    Can't you just put a ball valve on and turn it down that way. Pumps run better with a little back pressure.
