    need fittings for Korallin reactor

    thanks everyone for the info, I tried a search for the gardena valves but I think they have been discontinued and then ordered them as replacement parts through Marine depot and just recieved notice they have been backordered, guess I'll go with the pinch valves.

    Dons 125

    Hey Don that set-up is looking awesome! The tanks will just keep getting bigger and bigger! That happened to me on a bulkhead and it was caused by putting the flange gasket on the outside of the tank. Be sure the gasket goes on the inside of the tank side of bulkhead fitting. Good luck with...

    Are you upgrading your MH soon?

    Awesome links Cesar! Lighting is so subjective, I like bright lighting with a bluish tint, bulbs that burn consistently for a reasonable time and good for the corals, sps and lps. Currently run a 400 watt 6.5k ushio on a standard M59 ballast (too yellow) actinics help though. Corals like...

    RODI system

    Hey Danny what length did you run the 1/4" feed line from water source to the RO? Even if you have 80 psi at the source your presure will drop significantly when your RO kicks in. If that is what is happening by checking your pressure gauge at the RO unit then you need to upsize the line to...

    Thanks Don and Jl , this helps though I am still not sure if I am going to build. Found the goods. I have a piece of 12" PVC by 60". Thinking of modeling a Euro 12-2 60" tall. I have a great basement set-up so size is no problem. If I decide to inject Ozone is PVC suitable? Is acrylic...

    what about ozone generators?

    Thanks for the input, I would control it through my neptune controller, ORP is running 295 to 325 now without ozone. I studied on the carbon filtering so I am covered there, curious how it effects the actual 'look' of the reef.

    what about ozone generators?

    Ok, I am sure this will raise a rucus. who uses ozone out there? I am thinking of adding to my tank system to help control organic wastes and improve water quality and clarity which are pretty good but I want to increase the bio load.. 200 gal tank with 400 watt halide 430 watts VHO, ETSS...
