Also, ditch the store's water tests and get some good kits of your own. You're far better off spending the extra cash on a good kit than losing livestock and corals because of bad readings. Do you check your salt levels as well?

Post your water parameters as that will make it a bit easier to help you out. How old is the tank Have you done anything different with the tanks since then? Changed filter media and such? What kind of water are you using for the water changes?

This pretty much means I'll be needing either the 1/4 or the 1/4, that's almost double the money... I might end up moving to Alaska instead and avoid buying a chiller

Has anyone tried the Arctica Titanium Chillers? I'm planning on getting a 1/10 hp that's rated up to 130 gallons. Would it be enough to handle my 125g with a sump of roughly 20-30g so 150g perhaps total? Are they easy to maintain and repair if needed? Any pics of who ever has them installed...

I have a MR400 sump that I want to turn part of it into a fuge. The water comes down from the tank, into the first chamber where there's a sock filter, a skimmer and a reactor. The second chamber is what I want to make into a fuge, then the third chamber would be empty. The return pump is an...

Have you tried aiming a fan at the surface so that it hits the surface of the water and part of the light fixture? I did that and it reduced my temp which was 84-86 to 80-82.

I just got the unit this morning and it's awesome. Finally no more going to the LFS with5 pales of 5 gallons each and paying $1.50 per gallon... This thing is a beast. So far it's been making 5 gallons of good water and 7-8 gallons of bad water per hour. My PSI reads at 69-71. The TSD is...

Originally Posted by Ryancw01 I have mine underneath my sink and so glad I hooked it up that way. No more water jugs. Nice. The unit should come with a splitter to tap into the cold water supply. In order to hook the 1/4inch tubing to the splitter you can get ice maker supply tubing at home...

I just had the same problem over here. The temp in my tank went from a normal 78-80 to a 84-86. What I did was place two small fans on the surface of the tank($5 each) and have them blow the surface and part of where the light goes by. Also I added a fan aiming at the inside of the sump. This...

During Winter I used to keep my temp between 78-80, now that Summer is here, my tank has been between 82-84(not by choice either) and honestly I've seen a huge difference in growth. My duncans and frogspawn started growing new heads since the Summer started and my monti caps have grown a little...

Good luck with him! That's my FAVORITE angel fish. They have an awesome color to them. I'm still looking for another one since I had to let go of my old one when I moved

Awesome, thanks guys! I'll try the adapter that it comes with first and if that doesn't work I'll go around using the one in the pic!
