    Hurtin Clam

    BB tank he was on a rock that had a nice concave shape that is perfect for a clam. I have seen plenty of squamosa's on rocks including the one at the store where I got him, a 12+ incher that has lived on the rock's since it was a juvenile.Here is a pic of the late clam when I put him in the...

    calcium reactor

    Yes I do have a small pump feeding the reactor, I thaught you meant a pump on the return side...I misunderstood, I do agree that the problem is my slow flow rate, while my tank is loaded with coraline I do not by any means have a excessive demand for calcium, but I can not keep it above @370-380...

    calcium reactor

    why would I want to use an extra pump. I will just buy or build a better designed unit. I dont think 10 bbm (1/8 inch bubbles) is too much, do you? I would like to build a reactor that has the abillity to recirculate undissolved gas like the Deltec's or Shuran's, but i need to see how they are...

I know deltec and shuran do it but from the pics ive seen i cant tell how they built the gas/water seperators. I tried...

    calcium reactor

    The reactor is identical to Sanjay Joshi's design, so if it is a plumbing issue I guess it is not the best design to DIY....I think i will try to duplicate the deltec.

    calcium reactor

    Hey everyone, I am looking to buy a calcium reactor for my 180, I built a diy one based on Sanjay Joshi's design, and I am ready to smash it with a sledge hammer:eek: The problem with this design is that over time (days) the excess co2 air bounds the effluent tube and stops the reactor from...

    In-line vs Drop in Chillers?

    Yeah I got the electrical end taken care of..just curious about chiller size and type, I have a fan blowing across the top of the tank when the halides are on, and the tank goes from 78 to 79-80, but the room is also cool this time of year.
