    Chiller Guru - Compressor starts, but fan does not always

    I have an Aquanetics ADIC-2R chiller where the compressor always starts, but the fan does not. If you push the fan, usually it will eventually start. Any suggestions on who can repair, or repair recommendations would be appreciated.

    ATI, OCTO Pro, or Reeflo 200

    The ATI is great when it works and if you leave it on all the time. I have a 250, and starting the pumps at times can be frustrating. I am aware of numerous people that have this concern. Mine turns off with a controller for feeding, but I eventually caved in and now leave it on all the time...

    Minimum co2 tank for calcium reactor

    My 10 lb tank lasts 6 months on a 330 gal SPS tank. A lot depends on the drip rate that you use in the Calcium reactor. A light load tank may last much longer. A heavy load could be substantially less. The key factors are tank size, and calcium consumption, which impacts the drip rate...

    Ricordias and SPS

    I have kept mushrooms and recordia in SPS tanks for a long time without major problems. In some cases, they my sting adjacent corals, but this is rare and may be the result of other factors.

    Luminarcs verse Sunlight Supply

    I will be replacing Sunlight Supply 400w HQI pendants with something new on a 330 gal 30" deep tank. Would like to get insight to experiences with the Luminarcs or the new Sunlight supply reflectors. I am not happy with the Sunlight pendants due to their build quality and the high cost of...

    Cannon verse Nikon

    OK, if they are both good cameras, which lenses in the kits are better with the vibration reduction. The Nikon D60 lense kit (Costco 18-55 and 55-200) or the Canon Sti (18-55). Do I still need the 100 macro if I have the 55-200?

    Pepperjack. What size pipe did you use to run to the skimmer intake and how long was the run. Based on this thread, I did a test run with 1 1/4" pipe and a 3" fan to a BM 250. It definitely is improving approximately .2 from 7.55 (L) to 7.75 (H) to 7.7 (L) to 7.94(H). I still need to...

    Opinions on Tunze DOC 9010 Skimmer

    I just replace my Euroreef ES5-3 with a Tunzi 9010. Except for a little noise that it makes, I love it. Much easier to use than any other skimmer I have had (ASM, Euroreef) takes less space, and skims well. Mine is on a 135g with a 40g sump. You may want to read their sizing information in...

    I have concluded that I have too tight house, that is keeping the CO2 high in the house. Open the windows and my difference is .3. So, I am going to build a fan to blow outside air overmy my aquarium. Has anyone used inline duct fans for this purpose. I would like to benefit from any lessons...

    What should the high and low readings be? I assume the high should be between 8.0 and 8.3 which you see frequently publish at night with lights still on? What should the low be in the morning just before the lights are turned on? I am struggling with pH and have the air ciruclation problem...
