    How to Handle Opinions -- What is Yours

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    The Collection Cup of Brian Skimmers is about 18" above the picture frame :) -- I don't have a spot to mount the camera to reach that. And if I did remount the camera you would loose some of the detail. Earlier today when the sun was out you could see the bubbles in the Aqua C. Also I...

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    Reefologist, I felt that the EuroReef handled the load just fine. When I added a commercial sized RK-2 skimmer to the system, it did not perform significantly different than the Euro-Reef. MCSock -- Hey Rich, I am not sure about the Ozone hook up. It does not appear to, but I can't...

    Phospate/Carbon Reactor Question

    Test kits. However, most of the test kits only test for I think In-Organic phosphates. You want to be able to test for In-Organic and Organic phosphates. In the US I think the Merck test kit is the only one available to do that easily. Dave B
