    Revival of RUGF including NNR ! !

    That's pretty close Andrew. The Lift Tubes from a standard UGF should be replaced with pvc tubing and combined to a pressure manifold. There are a thousand ways to do this, and Paul's version is as good as any. Next you have to add some substrate at the bottom that won't fall thru slots in the...

    Revival of RUGF including NNR ! !

    Convection currents. Bomber: The warm water rises and cold water sinks, so it is never really hypoxic. If it isn't Hypoxic, it doesn't suit the application. Do you mean never really Anoxic ? > Barry :)

    Revival of RUGF including NNR ! !

    Heater cables, :lol: :lol: :lol: Sorry Boomer, I forgot to include Filter floss, Diatom filters, PolyPads, Filter Socks, and Carbon. Of course, the incoming water has to be filtered before going through the RUGF. Another Nitrate Facrory, Oh my God ! ! ! :p And I hate having to repeat...

    Revival of RUGF including NNR ! !

    The Reverse Under Gravel Filter was a great concept about 25 to 30 years ago. Since then it fell out of favor as better reef keeping information was brought to the hobby, and newer technology took it's place. As with the wet/dry, or Bio-Ball systems, the RUGF, was left to antiquity by the...

    PLEASE be honest when you post

    I am about to seriously promote RUGF's for REEF tanks here at RF. Is this considered hijacking in light of Mojo's last post ? No, I'm not kidding in the least. Get out your fire estinguishers folks, the fuel is stacked very high, and I will light it in a new thread by Monday. I'm outta here...

    PLEASE be honest when you post

    Putting justifications in back to back replies IS NOT ALLOWED ! ! ! It just shows that the person who is posting hasn't really thought out what they were trying to say, and really smacks of insincerity in that respect. You should really put more thouhgt into it before you make those kinds of...

    what about garf?

    I have had really bad luck with them so far. There information is very good, and they are supposed to have some great coral frags as well. The management is suffering, as in non-existant. Be very careful if you order, to demand exact specification of shipping details up-front, and that they call...

    I think this and "OSHITTA" are in a dead tie. Post Of The Month material. > Barry :)

    My notes from Bob Fenner

    Boomer, can you take a look at this one ? I bought some of this stuff quite a while back, and by the time it arrived, I had become leary of it. I talked with the "Boss man" at HDL in the mean time, and felt like I was being sold "snake oil". http://www.hdltd.com/products/p_tribase.html Here...

    My notes from Bob Fenner

    I have no problems at all with drinking my tap water, but at 1.0ppm P, and 4.5 meq/L Alk , It is not good for the animals. > Barry :)

    My notes from Bob Fenner

    The first test sounds good, but the second one looks like the big winner. Another one would be trace element concentrations in your tank, without water changes, and using RO/DI to top off. Just a couple of thoughts. > Barry :)

    My notes from Bob Fenner

    Tell us the wisdom of carbon use, and a preferred methodology. Maybe spectrographicly ? Should we be using carbon to remove toxins and heavy metals ? Periodicly, continuously, or emergency ? Does carbon "strip" trace elements significantly, depending on type of usage ? Thanks, > Barry :)

    cleaning routines

    I find Luke's methods very interesting. It is working well for him right now, and his practices will probably evolve over time. I think his are quite credible, but there is no "magic bullet" here, yet ! :D I'm working on it, I'll let you know when I have it all figured out. :p There has to be...
