    Help! How do I get rid of these nasties?

    Are there different types of aiptasia? Unfortunantly I've seen a lot of it and those little green guys dont look like any I've seen. I wonder if a Peppermint Shrimp would be interested in them?

    What Temp. Do You Run?

    80-83. Use a Ranco controller on a Honeywell fan over my sump.

    Venturi

    Ok, I went back thru my paperwork and the one I have ordered is Code: 70005 Ocean Runner 1700 T 1000 Multi Pump. I also show that the 70006 Ocean Runner 2700 is suppose to come with a needlewheel as well as the 70007 Ocean Runner 3700. The way they list their pumps is kinda confusing as the...

    Venturi

    They are suppose to increase water flow and decrease the pressure right after the outlet. I gather that they pull water in from the area around the outlet thus increasing overall water movement. Sounds like a solid theory to me though I have not tried it myself.

    Venturi

    That is odd that you didnt get the air eductor. I'm an Aquamedic distributor and the 2700 is suppose to come with all fittings. Funny though if it coming incomplete resulted in you making a better one though!!

    Venturi

    I see. They come with an efficient eductor if you order the 2700 or 3700 model now. I agree on the efficiency of the design and am currently exploring a skimmer utilizing one or more of these pumps both the 2700 and the 3700. I love the idea of a recirculating needlewheel to increase air...

    Venturi

    That sure is a compact design and I like that!!! It also looks really cool. Have you tried using it as a venturi? Also, what type of Oceanrunner is that? Did you try using the eductor that came with the Oceanrunner? It measures 1.675" in length.

    Venturi

    What kind of Oceanrunner are you you using? I have done some testing with the 2700 but I'm not sure if it has the output I'm looking for.

    Venturi

    Here is a pic of a Beckett I had running a while back. I actually ran it with a DP-800 pump.

    Venturi

    They have definitely not stopped making the Mazzei. Those injectors are used for more uses than I would even try to list. Also, if its used for feeding a needlewheel then its an "eductor" type more so than a true venturi. The needlewheel does the mixing and the "venturi" is not nearly as...

    Venturi

    Ok, I'm interested. How does it compare to a Mazzei 784 with a Dolphin DP-1200 pump ( approx 800 gph @ 12' head)? How did you make it? Details?

    Evolving Corals?

    Spot of mankind in the timeline of the Earth . Spot of mankinds impact on the Earth we will probably never know. I honestly believe that we give ourselves far to much credit in/for the shaping of our universe/planet through religion and or politics.

    Help me design my sump?

    No nothing specific. It looks like a clean setup. I was only suggesting that was the easiest method to give yourself more room for the sock thats all. I'm sure you already thought of it anyway. I just use the rock in my tank for the "pods" and I keep a Mandarin that does just fine on...

    Help me design my sump?

    You'll have live rock in the tank? Get rid of the rock in the sump and use that space for other things. Redesign it so you can use the space for your filter sock.

    APC Battery Backups

    I use a APC Smart UPS 1250 on a 80 watt return pump and it will run for a max of about 6 hours I think. I have had it for about 5 years and it never misses a beat. The replacement batteries can be found online for less than 200.00 though I havent had to replace them yet. Mine gives a readout...

    Local source for pickling lime?

    Everyone looks at me like I am nuts when I ask about it no matter where it is I ask. I just order Mrs. Wages online.

    Wet vs. Dry Skimmate

    OK, I'm new here to RF. I have owned a few skimmers in my day and I am curious just exactly what defines a DRY skimmate?
