    Lighting for a 40gal tank

    Well the lighting will depend on the inhabitants currently in the tank and any that may be added in the future. Please note that the watts per gallon method is very generalized and I recommend against using it. MH and florecsent lighting differ in the way they distribute light. MH is a point...

    under 10k or 20k?

    The blue side of the spectrum (20K) will penetrate deeper into the water which I believe would be the explanation for the excellent colors. I am still up in the air about what to use on my 360. I like the look of my 250w Coralvue 10k that is supplimented by 2 65w PC actinics on my little tank...

    TDS Meter bulk order......

    A lot. I showed 0 the 1 then 0 again. I guess it makes sense. It is hard for the meter to read if the meadium doesn't stay constant.....

    TDS Meter bulk order......

    Hey Matt! It is after the membrane that way I can tell if it is getting bad and so I don't prematurly expire the DI cartridge. The other one is after the DI to monitor the water going into the Kalk reactor.... I figure out that you need to read it while the unit is not running. Other wise it...

    TDS Meter bulk order......

    Here is mine mounted to the RO/DI unit. I decided the best place for it would be on either side of the DI cartridge. This thing even has a battery installed. A nice plus. Mine is reading only 1ppm after the membrane and 0ppm after the DI. :D

    Top-off and water change project.

    Looks Good! I am a firm believer in keeping it simple but effective. The more "unecessary" componants we use in our systems the more possiblilty for a failure. Someone was discussing my design with me the other day and he was trying to convince me to use individual actuators to open and close...

    Top-off and water change project.

    Hey Don! There is a post on RC, 240 gallon in wall(image intense). It is a huge set up with a nice little water water change station mounted on a plywood base with casters. It has two rubbermaid garbage cans mounted to it as well as a Mag pump for water circulation. It is also used to add the...

    RO/DI 4 stage to 5 stage which filter to add?

    Hey Guys! I talked to Kevin and he recommended an additional DI cartrige. The reason being, if you have two you can use the first until it is completely expired instead of half way. Thus saving money and ensuring a better TDS output. He also recommended changing the standard carbon filter for...

    TDS Meter bulk order......

    Yeah I noticed that! I thought picking one up for $38 was a good deal until I saw the multiple order discount. Deals like these will help make the hobby grow by oftering high tech equipment to the "little guy". As we all know water quality is top on the list for optimal coral health and growth.....

    TDS Meter bulk order......

    johnehr, I can ship it directly to you if you like. I will just need to charge you shipping from here to your house. The shipping charges from the company to my place was divided up over the entire order. So it was really cheap. :D I am just trying to save others a few more bucks if they so...
