    RO/DI and algea blooms

    I have notice that I get algea blooms (green/brown) that come and go about every 5-6 months. I was thinking that it was just my VHO bulbs in need of changing. Since this month I have switch to compacts lighting But someone said it might be something else like my water chem. I have been using...

    Looking farther into getting a RO unit

    you and me both curt. Thanks I'll try to get a meter sometime. Since your full of all sorts of good answers what does TDS stand for. So if my TDS levels are high your saying I should get a higher Gal/day unit so I get more RO water. Might not be the entire 100gal corrected. Depends on were...

    Looking farther into getting a RO unit

    I'm to the point were I want a RO unit. But I don't know anything about them. Can I hook it up to a utility sink and disconnected it when I'm done or is this going to cause proplems. I would like to get it plumb it right to the pipes that run to the sink but I'm planning on moving in a year...

    Dons 125

    LOL on the wood cost I just got done with my stand myself. Made it way to big but I still like it. The stand sets up 40" and is 3'x5' for my 50gal. Made it that size for storage of alot of different thing under the tank. But it cost me like $120 By the time I left hardware store. I hope...

    Circulation

    If something goes wrong with your main pump in your sump you won't have any current at all. If your not at home or don't see it right away your tank goes still. That is the only reason why I have PH inside my tank. I'm glad that I do because I came home today from work and notice my 4 day...

    Light Acclimation

    IMO I would slow it down a bit. Something like adding a hour every week. Or taking a couple of sheets of glass and putting them on top of each othere. Every week take a sheet off until you have one left. Also with MH I think that you want to adjust the distance from the water line to your...

    How To?

    you could save the water but after your done taking everything out the water is going to be really cloudy with all the depre comeing off your LR. I wouldn't touch your sand bed if you can get away with it. Try to remove most the water into something and move your 125 with the sandbed untouch...

    Crappy Rios

    I'm not a big fan of rio's myself but I think every proplem I have with them it was my fault. Running them dry or something. But I really happy with my maxi jets. I have done everything to them and they still run. But that is just my thought!

    overflow placement

    Thanks inwall, I think were talking about the same thing. I wan to have a overflow box in both the left and right side. That's what you mean by coast to coast right! When you say dual overflows do you mean outlets in each box! I was thinking of doing that too. Also I was thinking of...

    overflow placement

    What size PVC did you use for your outlets and what are you running for your return pump. I'm thinking I want to go with 2" for both and have a revolution running back into the tank! http://www.oceansmotions.com/ I'm going overkill on the return pump no matter what. I what toget as much flow...

    overflow placement

    I have been trying to figure out where I want to put my overflows in my tank that I'm going to order. I'm looking at a tank that is 3' front to back 30" deep and 72" long. I'm planning on putting the overflows on the sides for now. I would like to know if anyone has a tank with the overflows...
