Where does one find the metric to regular thread converters. I have an ocean runner (they also make a needle wheel) but the regular thread doe not seem to work. W

I increased the output flow which seems to reduce the buildup a little, but it never fully resolves it. Bleeding the air is only a temporary solution. So, like you I have learned to tolerate it.

I have a rear coast to coast return, thus I thought it might not make sense to place my outputs close to the top. I was going to place the lowest outputs 10" from the bottom for a 30" high tank. I realize there are many options. I also have 4 sea swirls, one in each corner.

On a 31" high bare bottom, how far from the bottom would you recommend placing the output bulkheads. I am interested in recommendation for the height place of all the bulkheads consider have a a continuous overflow on the back of the tank. I have read a number of threads on this subject but...

I have a jetstream 1 as well. I only have it 6 months and have never changed the media. It is half way down at this time. It takes considerable tweeking in order to avoid air buildup in the main tube. I still have not perfected it. I have a 10lb CO2 bottle. But it really does keep the...

Hi: So for a Kent Marine reactor, I can fill it half way and not work about any PH issues. I am using a 100 gal / hour pump which creates good particle motion. But the 150ml, fills less the 10% of the reactor. Thanks, I really appreciate your input.

How has this lighting setup worked for you over time. I am considering a similar approach and was wondering if an issues came up after some use.

How Much Rowaphos in a Kent Reactor How much rowaphos should I put in the Kent phosphate reactor? I put in the suggested 150g, but that looks like such a small amount considering the size of the reactor. Thanks

Do you use it in a reactor, canister filter, or just in the sump? Also, I saw that phosguard appears cheaper than both of those in my area, but I do not know how effective it is for the same quanity. The others are all about the same price in this area. Thanks for the input.

Are there any good stores between Urbana and Indianapolis. I will be in that area later this week and love to check frag for the addicted quarist

What is the best media considering all the options out there? RowaPhos, Phosban, Kent Power Phos. Also is there a real difference between the Kent and TLF reactors?

I will be in your area next week, so if anyone can recommend any good stores for livestock or equipment, that would be great. This is a west coast guy, visiting new terriotry, addicted to the hobby.

I am looking for the technical reference data to build an aquarium stand for a 340 gal acrylic aquarium 72Lx36Wx30Tx3/4". I plan to build it out of spruce or oak with a 1" particle board top on 3/4" plywood base. I have done a search here and found a few examples, but not exactly what I...

My thanks to all for you input. Merry Christmas. Wayne

Does anyone know where I can get a replace glass for a reef optix 3 pendant. Can you buy the UV glass anwhere in Washington state? Or, does anyone sell replacement glass for the unit.

Think of a consumer report equivalent for skimmers. One could have a large tank feed "x" number of skimmers in small separate sumps, thus they would all have the same water source. This would be a good approximation of feeding all the skimmers with the same water and then determine which one...

Has anyone ever done a controlled test of various skimmer types objectively. That is not a vendor who has a conflict of interest. If someone has the time, such a test would be very interesting and more meaningful. Comparing performance of various skimmers operating in different conditions...

Hi: My change is somewhat different. I am trying to get the width profile for the skimmer to a smaller size. To accomplish that, I would replace the current elbow between the pump and the skimmer with two elbows and a 4 inch strait tube. My concern is with the second elbow reducing the...

I have a ASM G-4 Protein skimmer that does not quite fit my sump design. Has any one added a second 90 degree angle between the pump output and the skimmer with an short extension tube. This would solve my design constraint, but I have concern for a possible adverse impact on the skimmer...
