    Ca Reactor output/effluent controls

    I agree, I have five of them around with two in constant use. When one stops working a rebuilt one goes to work then I rebuild the broken for $3 bucks... thats what the kit cost's... cant beat them.

    Any one know a good DIY for a auto water top off

    The kit I bought had to be soldered, I guess they changed the design to be more user friendly. My kit had a third float switch that I was able to setup an overflow protection for the main tank. It actually shut off the sump pump when my overflow lost its siphon...

    Any one know a good DIY for a auto water top off

    This is the kit I purchased when I first started my tank almost five years ago and no problems to date. All you have to do is add a pump like the aqualifter. http://www.aquahub.com/store/product26.html

    The tank has been up for 4 years and I believe its because Ive become a little to lackadaisical in my husbandry duties.....Its been like this for about 4 or 5 months so I have some catching up to do.

    I have a question

    Thanks DonW, It does seem more "dusty" than anything else. I have lowered the light period from 12 hours down to 10 about 6 months ago, should I lower it to 8 total hours of light ? I have the 10k's on for 8 and the actinic's on for 2 more hours after that. I have the Nova extreme 8 x 54 unit on...
