    Sump noise

    Sounded like a medium powered faucet. A lot better since I added the rubble. It's gotten a little better after the water ran over the rubble for about a hour or so also. I guess the water had to position the rocks just so. Now, it's almost quiet. Still gong to add 5 lbs. of rubble tomorrow. I...

    Sump noise

    Went to the LFS and got 10 lbs. of rubble and took the bioballs out. I still have the noise but I didn't get quite enough rubble to come up to the bottom of the tray that holds the filter pad. Going to put 5 more lbs. in tomorrow and I think this might do the trick. I checked the holes out in...

    Sump noise

    Any thoughts on taking this compartment that holds the bioballs and turning it into a sort of refugium. I was thinking about putting chaeto in it and having the filter socks draining into the chaeto. I guess I would have to get a light under there, but that wouldn't be that big of a deal.

    RO/DI and algea blooms

    As best that I can make out, the DI resin removes the harmful ions that are able to make it throught the RO membrane.

    RO/DI and algea blooms

    The RO membrane is a semi-permeable thin film. Water is forced through it under pressure. Molecules which are larger/heavier than water (which is very small/light) penetrate the membrane less easily and tend to be left behind. The DI resin exchanges the remaining ions, removing them from the...

    RO/DI and algea blooms

    Your tank is only as good as the water you put in it. RO/DI water is a must IMO. Minimal investment considering what you have in the tank.

    Sand Stirring substrates

    Wanted to hop in on this as I have a 3" sand bed in my 110. When you say stir are you talkly about lightly over the top or a little deeper. Also how often can/should stirring be done? I guess this could be a case by case issue. Never seen a BB ocean floor before so DSB's have there place and...
