    How to use ozone when ORP is >400

    Well I got the test solution for the orp meter and it is 470 mv solution, my meter says it is 590. I talked to Milwaukee inst. and they said it is probably a bad probe and not the calibration of the meter. I will get a new one and test again Carson

    Filtration for Reef Tank

    As BeeBa said closed loops are great. if you are drilling the back, go with 1 size larger bulkhead than you think you will ever need Also it is not necessary to have a high flow thru the sump if you have good closed loops set up. Carson

    How to use ozone when ORP is >400

    Thanks again all for posting I will probably go with the 25 watt maybe the 15 (depends on the size diff) . Some of them (the Aqua I think) have a internal cleaning thing, this sounds like a good idea, any body know of a down side to the this. Don You are probably correct about the low flow thru...

    How to use ozone when ORP is >400

    Thanks all for the info I have a bottle of orp check fluid coming next week, as I did not trust the probe. The probe is only 1 month old as the old one had failed. I cleaned the new probe before putting it into the tank and have cleaned it again about a week ago. After the cleaning it would read...

    How to use ozone when ORP is >400

    Thanks for the reply clayswim I did not think that they would affect the alge, I have that because I overfeed and the circulation could be increased some. I was wondering that since the ozone is no longer being used would the UV be a worth while addition to the tank. Would it make the water look...

    How to use ozone when ORP is >400

    I have my orp controller set so that the ozone shuts off at 350. For the past few weeks my ORP is staying around 400 so The ozone gen never comes on. The water looks good and all the tests are normal for this tank, but you can tell that there is no ozone being used. The water does not have that...

    adding a recirculating pump to skimmer

    I mounted a sedra 3500 on my 6 in dia euro-clone skimmer with the intake on the bottom and used the original inlet hole for the output of the pump. I just used uniseals and it is mounted to the side of the chamber. I am using gravity flow from the overflow box to feed the skimmer thru a 1/2 in...

    Improving venturi

    At some point I have angered the skimmer gods. I have not been able to make a skimmer work as they are supposed to for any length of time. I Have tried an Aqua C ev 180 and gave up because it is so picky, currently I am trying to get a euro knock off to make something better than weak tea...

    better filtration

    It sounds a lot more complex than it really is. It is just a length of filter material that gets water run thru it and then the filter material moves a little upward, out of the water. What I was trying to do is make something that would replace a skimmer. When someone says whats good about a...

    better filtration

    Hello to all and thanks. What I am thinking about is a particulate filter that would be mounted in the sump with a roll of filter material that would be above the water surface and then the filter material would be threaded down under the water to come back up in the device where you would have...

    better filtration

    Hi guys I am new to your site (came along with the 02manyfish group). I was reading some of your older posts and run into a thread started by Scooterman about algae. My tank is a 75 gal reef - fish - macro algae -combination. It did not start out that way but it took me a long time to get a...
