I know how the mechanical part of the float valve works, I just don't know which line to run to it.

I just added the deionization filter and was wondering if the way I hooked it up is ok. I noticed once I run some water thru the deionization filter that I have to turn the regular drinking water faucet on then off to get the system started again. Is there a better way to do it. I would like to...

Kinda crazy that its just us midwesterners with this filter.

tfolke1, did the ball valve also cut down the noise from the overflow, also did you use a different line for the return to accomodate the ball valve? On my PS3 I also get a lot of pressure coming out of the little hole by the Intake hose so I have to leave the cover lodged up a little. If I had...

RO water, temp 81ish, trates 0, trites 0, ph 8.3, 1.024 salinity

I am having a hard time keeping the temp down below 81. I just got a new 250 watt metal halide, and I've only been keeping it on for 6 Hours a day to keep the temp low. And yes the LMB was just added from my QT tank 2 days ago.

As you can see in the first picture my LMB would rather sit and enjoy the green fuzzy rather than eat it. Anyways I attached two pictures so you could all get the idea of length and size of the hair algae my tank is 30" high 47 Gallon. Any ideas how to get rid of it. My tank has been up for...

Thanks for the answers. I pop the lid on the filter area just a little bit, and this fixed the problem. I could actually feel air coming out of the hole, and then I popped the lid a little and it was fine. I am curious what would be making this excessive amount of pressure, I have no idea what...

Bump.

I have a Tom's PS3 Wet/Dry Filter. This filter has worked well, but there is a 1/4" hole on the top maybe for a breather or vent? My problem is I get a sponge full of water that leaks out of it every day? If I plug the hole it will leak out the side, anyone else have this problem. I put a straw...

I just got a new Metal Halide and now my tank will go from 79 Degrees to 80.8 Degrees in the matter of 5 Hours. My house temp is around 70 consistent. Should I be concerned about a 2 degree fluctuation?

I guess I shouldn't say its loud or abnormal, but it does make a lot of wind noise.

I just got a brand new 20" sunpod 250 watt Metal halide. This light has a remote ballast with a fan and also a fan that runs through the hood. My question is can I quiet the hood down at all. I don't mind the fan on the remote ballast but the fan on the hood is loud, any tricks to keeping it...

Thanks for the responses I guess I'll Switch to mysis and cut out the phyto for zoo plex. Then I will watch and see, just dont want to harm my fish, probably better to underfeed then over feed?

thanks for the quick response. So are you saying that my zoas could get to much light?

I am going to be possibly getting SunPod Metal Halide Fixtures Pro 20" 250W. My tank size is 47 gallon tall which makes it 30" Deep. Would there be any reason to get the 150 watt besides price. I guess what I am asking is for the pros & cons. I have some zoas now but would like to get into any...
