Well I will consider it in the future if I decide to keep doing this playsand. Too bad this one is already running.

Originally Posted by bill109 make your own ro/di ice cubes. i just throw them in the sump when it gets hot and take the glass covers off and open the canopy. it is nearly impossible to just get your temp right down to target temp when u see its overheated. the fan idea is a good one. i use one...

Originally Posted by mantisman51 I, too, used argonite playsand for my 125g reef tank. If you're going to use playsand, two things to do: Fill about half a 5g bucket with the sand and rinse with boiling water-alot of processors use diesel and waste oil to lubricate the sand during...

Originally Posted by sdch1000 I'm thinking of making my own chiller. How cool is this mini fridge. I'm willing to try it for only $40. Good thing I watched Macgyver as a kid. As long as you know how to make it, I think it will be fine.

Hi there, Originally Posted by AquaKnight The bulk of sand in my 125gal, is play sand (around 250lbs total, 40 or so pounds of that true calcium based sand) since it was setup August 2006. No real problems so far, calcium as always been a tad low and having to dose a touch more then normal IME...
