    Help deciding on a new pump for my EuroReef RS 6-1

    Awesome, I was looking at the Sicce PSK-1000 on that page after I posted here, Would it be too much for the RS 6-1? I was figuring ~$120 before I even started looking, so If it's not too powerful or wouldn't do as good a job as the 600, I'll take your advice and order the 600 instead. And would...

    Help deciding on a new pump for my EuroReef RS 6-1

    I chatted skimmy a while back about it and the Atman 2500 Pump was my best choice. Seems it's out of stock at the only place I can find it. My sedro 3500 finally blew up last night and I need a new pump ASAP. I was looking at just getting another 3500 or a sedro 5000, But I'm sure there is some...

    Need assistance with RODI float switch wiring

    This link might help a little. http://www.reuk.co.uk/Simple-Well-Pump-Controller.htm Think of this in reverse. flip the switches 180° and swap positions and I think it'll do exactly what you are looking for.

    Sump design needs comments

    I would add the bubble wall at the end of the bypass chamber. Otherwise you will likely have skimmer bubbles going strait to the return pump. But also, you didn't say weather you were going to have an auto top-off system. if not, a wall between your return chamber and skimmer is a must to keep...

    Procedure to start up a tank w/sump

    1) fill DT untill water flows over the overflows and into the sump untill return pump has enough water to start the water cycle into the tank and back into the sump withought much air being sucked up by the pump. 2) turn on return pump for about 2-5 seconds to get water returning to the DT. 3)...

    Looking for advice for lighting for a 29BC with LEDs.

    Still reading threw at my leisure, I'm going to try this setup even without knowing the lumens per watt. I'm not trying to make a perfect LED fixture, just a cheap one that will use less electricity then the PC's and generate alot less heat. If all goes well, I'll probably opt to change over my...

    Looking for advice for lighting for a 29BC with LEDs.

    This is my thinking as well. I'm still throwing around the possibility of using the 3w emitters as well, I'm trying to figure how many watts of 15000k I should be looking at over the 29BC not including actinics. I figured an eaven split point for cost figuring at 90w of led (although not sure I...

    Looking for advice for lighting for a 29BC with LEDs.

    at $7 per equivalent (10w) cree's would be alot more $ and take alot more space. I'm looking for something very compact and inexpensive. I checked out the rapiled kit, but at $200, I could buy it all and build it myself for less as well. I like the DIY side and buying a diy kit that I just bol;t...

    Looking for advice for lighting for a 29BC with LEDs.

    So I was cruising ebay and came across these LEDs, 10W Square High Power White 15000K LED 10-12V 850Lm 1A | eBay Wondering if anyone has tried using them? or if anyone knows something I don't about using them? For the price, they seem to be pretty awesome, and I could get all the required...

    Skimmer overflowing rapidly after water changes

    And be sure that the container that you are using to mix up your salt and any other equipment you might clean or switch out at the time of water changes has no residue in it. I had an issue a while back like this, and realized I was washing out my water change tank and not rinsing it thoroughly...

    Where to find?

    Is that for 5 pipettes? or 5 packages of them? $1 a piece seems steep. I use these all day long and could get a couple handfuls for you for a frag or something ;) or check on pricing a box of 1000 threw my work of you need a bunch. We go threw these like candy at my job. let me know. Casey

    Cracked Center Brace Concern

    You might also check with your LFS on a quote for a whole new top ring if it is the factory plastic piece. I replaced the one on my 72g bowfront a year ago after a crack formed, it was a special order and was under $75 threw Blue Sierra. for a 90g standard tank, I'm sure it would be a much...

    SEA-MAX 2011 in Seattle, WA!

    Me and my new to reef keeping buddy went on Saturday. I agree with an earlier post about the touch tank, In the future, having fish like the yellow tang in it, in my opinion is a bad choice. With the only thing I could criticize out of the way, The vendors were awesome, the frags were as well...

    Water Changes

    I Do regular water changes albeit not every week. Usually about once a month and the reason I do it is: Ammonia (NH4+) -> Nitrite(NO2-) -> Nitrate(NO3-) That is the nitrogen cycle and unless a tank has a VERY good anaerobic bacteria population (via established and large DSB), or ALLOT of...
