so, I took the advice of everyone and bought an RO/DI unit. I bought second hand the BRS 75gpd value unit. I bought all new filters for it. The membrane I couldn't locally find a 75gpd one so I put an 80gpd in. Fired it up, the bypass flush function works great. But when I close that valve, I...

Well, Im posting in the New Hobbyists part because I dont think I'll ever pass being a rookie at this. Anyhow, this will be a long read, but I need some help. Ill start, 5 years ago (I know...), I started a 90g reef tank with a canister filter, lots of powerheads and current USA Marine PRO LED...

Is there any way to set the gyre to factory default? I can't seem to adjust my constant flow setting (or any setting for that matter) on my gyre. Seems to wind right up and quit. I have the 130. Thanks!

Hey there salt water friends. Well. I bought a "new" tank that I pickup tomorrow. 90g with the corner overflow. I've been reading a lot about sumps and hear that the herbie style overflow is the way to go. However this one I bought doesn't have it. I'm wondering if I can convert? Any...

Hey all, I'm having a bit of lighting dilemma. I was originally going good to go with the new Hydra 52 HD. however, now have a line on a used Radion Gen 2 for a bit less than the Hydra. My tank is 36x36x24deep. Mostly LPS with a few beginner SPS and two RBTA's. Just looking for some...

Well as my tank build continues, I'm looking at upgrading my lights. I'm looking at the Hydra 52HD. To my understanding they are plenty for SPS or LPS, and they are fairly easy to program. My other option would be the Radions. Which I hear are a little more difficult to program, however a...

Hey everyone, Well a few months ago I posted about my not so well RBTA. And through lots...and I mean lots of reading, it was nursed back to health, and even split a few weeks ago...now I have two nice looking RBTA's in my tank. I posted a picture...the top two are when it wasn't doing so...

well I finally got my Gyre in the mail the other day. WHAT A UNIT! I love how much water it movs and how small it is, and virtually silent. I feel I'm not using its full potential though. Right now I have it on pulse mode, about 50% every 3seconds. I sped it up to .4 seconds and that was...

Hey All....well I am posting this to the new hobbyist page because I am definitely far from the experienced! A little background, I set up my salt water tank about 3 years ago...its a 90g tank, no sump. Two power heads (patiently awaiting my Gyre to arrive). Orbit Marine PRO LED light...
