RODI is still "WATER" without all the chlorine, flouride and other misc chemicals leftover or added after it is treated at a waste water treatment plant.

Just from personal experience with the kent te....you'll need atleast 12" square area with the pump and all for that skimmer, if you'd like I'll post a pic to show you how I plumbed it in with pvc, cost like $4 for all the parts.

Off topic real quick...hey discgolfer is that your PC in your avatar..if so what you running? I'm a computer nut and enjoy building systems and playing online games......ok back to the show....IMO anyone that buys a tank only because of a movie or tv show, without any proper research should be...

I got a 110gpd unit from ---- for $125 w/shipping, it does have an auto shut off switch, and love it, I have mine installed in the laundry room, easier to get to, and the tank is just on the other side of the wall. I couldn't see spending $300 for those other units. If you would like to know...

From what I've read in many posts is this: Soft Corals & LPS = VHO - PC's SPS & Anenomes = MH/VHO combo's

I ran into a similiar problem, what I had to do was drop the front of my overflow box, it's adjustable, now my u-tube is about 1.5" from the bottom of the inside of the overflow in the front and now my water levels are stable in the sump and tank

I have had the same fixture and power centers for over 6 months and haven't had a problem with either of them. As for the power centers you have to realize that if you over load them with too much power you will burn them out. I only use them to operate my lights and power heads. Everything...

The $30 kit at Walmart, my daughter has one for her goldfish, the only problem I see with that kit, it the hood, it's an incandescent hood, and doesn't put out very much light for even fish, I'd listen to these guys above and check out the nanocube, I've looked into them and they are sweet...

Originally posted by chriscobb I found the easiest way for me to prime my U tubes is to take plastic wrap to pieces alittle bigger than sandwich bags;(sandwhich bags also work in a pinch) and then put the U tube in the tank to fill with water and then cover 1 end of the U tube with plastic and...

I'm running PC 4x65 watt (2 10K and 2 03 Act) on our 55 gallon tank and have had nothing but success. Granted I have a limited number of corals that I can keep, but my coralline is thriving and growing everywhere. Maybe I just have a "Blue Thumb"! Granted I'm trying to figure out a way to fit...

I was considering changing salt mixes and was curious on how I'd go about doing that. Would I just go ahead and start using the new stuff, whenever I do a water change or is there another way. I know, probably a dumb question, but it's better to ask, than kill off a whole tank.:notsure:

No I don't, just a nick I've had for years, but I do play online gaming.... AAO:SF, UT2004 and BFV right now.

Appreicate the advice...already have all the RO/DI water I can handle, wife has a reef tank. Also already planned on hooking up a wet/dry to this tank. What I might have to do is figure out which one I like better, and just go for one, till I can get the room for a larger tank.

I was looking at setting up a 46 gal bowfront next spring, as a Predator tank. I was wondering if it possible to house 2 species of lions together. What I was looking at was a Fuzzy Dwarf and Dwarf Zebra. Also, what else would you suggest putting in there or would anyother fish be overkill...

Here is my wife's and my first SW tank..it's only 2 weeks old. We're waiting on more LR. My wife is the one that started this project, been wanting a SW tank for years, but it was put off. Until I took her on a snokeling trip and now it's all good:) Ok I give up...I deal with several forum...

New to the boards here and need help, what is the best skimmer for a 55 gal tank. I want to put the skimmer in the sump. The one I was looking at was the Kent Natilus TE, but was told that was overkill for a 55 gal. At the same time I don't want to buy a useless skimmer either. Granted I'd...
