    Couple of Questions...Flow, Substrate...

    Reedman, I have no plan to keep any corals right now. In the future maybe but right now I am just sticking to fish. I am getting some detritus on the rocks so I will go ahead and add the MJ 1200's. I love your idea of making a pen for the sand. How would I do that? Thanks Deb

    doing water change with canister filter how u do it

    Supamarine What canister filter do you have? Is it the Rena Filstar? If so I can walk you through how to clean it. I will say though cleaning/changing your filter has nothing to do with a water change. You won't use your canister filter at all for your water change. As stated by others, it...

    RO/DI units

    Steve, We won't be having the water run in a can (due to space constraints), instead I purchased 2 of the 4.4 gallon tanks from Ed to have the water collect in. Then I will dump the water in a bucket to mix and put in the Fish tank...So, I guess my thought is I won't need a Float valve? Is...
