Did you ask the dealer about setting a deposit so you can bring the new tank home, swap out and then take the old one back?

Either slow the water down, remove the sand, or try to devise a way where the dirty water from tank is released into the sump through a baffle of some sort...like a water brake.

If money allows, get the bigger pump, you can always put a ball valve inline to regulate the flow. Or, like what I did with one and in process of doing with the other, run a "T" off the return line to a ball valve and then you have an additional source for some flow if needed. Mine goes to a...

How do you have it wired in? Don't need any switch. If you do not know, white is nuetral and black is the hot. The large side of the plug is the nuetral. If everything is ok with the wiring, then the something else is wrong with the fixture. If you bought it as a complete fixture, everything...

Tangman I got the 1 micron

With the proper research and dedication...seahorses are some of the more entertaining as well as fascinating life in the hobby. The wild caught and captive bred debate is a debate...I leave it be, don't offer opinions either way. If you decide on seahorses, from my own experience, this is what...

Probably not enough pressure to continue the spin. Also, is there alot of resistance at the spindle? How about balance...are the two ends of equal length and construction?

Didn't someone on here make custom acrylic stuff? Like overflows, sumps,etc.

The oil based Poly from Minwax is excellent for humid seal. For water splashes, etc (not submersion) use the Helmsman Spar, it is indoor/outdoor poly. One thing, if you stained with a light colored stain, both oil based poly;s will cause an amber tint to the piece. The Helmsman will be more...

Goldrush...we are almost neighbors...

Being the tactless, ruthless individual I am...I can't just let them stand there and talk out the buttocks...I let them finish and then make them feel stupid...and finish it up with a knowledge is power sort of comment... I recall the time I asked them why they didn't have any invertebres in...

Looking at your picture Beth...yours is setup the same way. Your DI cartridge is fed from the final carbon filter.

Both my systems go through the final carbon and to the holding tank. I wanted them completely seperate where I do not drain or have to close the tank off to run the water through the DI on to the reef. In other words..I want someone to be able to fill a coffee pot while I am making water for the...

3 90 degree elbows, one PVC piece cut to length you want...3/16inch holes driled in a semi straight line about 1 inch apart, and an end cap...and you are good to go with the spray bar. Did it with a Mag 7 and 1/2", replaced with a Little Giant 4mdqx and 1 inch down to 3/4 for the spray...

Beth in re: to your reply to Patrick G.. Doesn't you extra supply line (reef) come out of the end of the DI cylinder? If it doesn't it should. I think what the h2o dude was referring to with the full effect of the DI...was the lower pressure leaves the dwell time in the resins for longer...

Rinsing your media in freshwater will kill all your nitrifying bacteria. That is a good idea using the old water to rinse things with.

Get some tubing and test it out with out the drilling and such.

Tang...the system uses regular poly, 1/4 tubing which you can buy at any home improvement place for like 3 bucks per 25 feet or something in that area, probably cheaper.

Yes I have one. And yes it is the water from the storage tank going into your DI and onto the fish. There isnt any, well shouldn't be, difference in water quality as they both go through the final carbon filter. then the reef part on through the DI and the drinking to the faucet. The trickling...

It stays on. Off would not allow the tank to fill. While it is open...the water going to and through your DI is coming from the final carbon and the storage tank...that would explain the difference in pressure. With the valve off...you would only be getting water from the final carbon/membrane.
