$500 is extreme, I know awi dual unit is 75gpd for $199

Sorry for butting in but here is some info as I understand it, reviewing awi units, di is not taste pleasing although not bad for your health. You can setup any unit to bypass the di so that you only have ro and that is simple to do. THere are dual units which allow you to do just that, it...

I got the compact reef 100gpd RO/DI for $149 plus shipping. Installed 2 weeks ago. Plumbing was a snap, great pics and directions. Should take about 15min to drop in. Just be aware of 2 things: 1) Good water to bad water ration is about 1:4. 2) Temp of cold water; as temp decreases so does...

Button polyps are usually brown and zoos come in a range of colors especially with actinics.

On most units the opt temp should be 72, so unless you live near the equator, your cold water line is going to be COLD. I am up in NY and my cold water line is 56. On the directions it should state the ratio. I know on mine it stated 1.6% loss per degree less than 72. Figure yours out. I...

over on reefc [hr] l, there is a 4 page topic on it. It uses 3/4" inlets thus the reduction. It can handle up 1200gph. Alot of people are picking them up for about $42. ---- is starting to carry them. I have heard only good things about them. I am going to be getting one as soon as I...

Hope this all reminds you to check you smoke detectors and as added safety, maybe buy 1 and put is near the tank, you could use velcro to attach it behind the tank on the wall or in your cabinets.

I will give that a try. I also got a response on another board stating the use of instead of a dimmer to use a fan controller. My father brought up a point regarding that the fan is designed to run at 1 speed and that a controller may damage/burnout the motor since it is not running full...

My sig has the info. The BTA is moving every few days. I try to feed him when I feel he is in a good spot, kinda like a dog. I have found him on the glass a few times in the middle of the of the top/bottom and just yesterday snugged inbetween the mounting bracket of the seaclone powerhead...

Situation: Finishing my canopy and already bought a fan. 4" 90CFM 115v ac. I was wondering how and what is needed to allow the fan speed to be controlled by temp like the icecaps. If it is to intricate could I just put a dimmer switch inline and manually adjust for winter/summer speed? Any...

If anyone can take a look at my pic and tell me when I should prop it and how I should go about doing it, I truely would appreciate it.

Ok, lets slow down and take it step by step. You indicated that on 12/24 you set up your tank and put water in it correct. I will try to detail step by step and anyone else can chime in. (Note: Try to return the fish before you kill any more of them, usually the store will hold them for you...

Yes, each polyp is a individual and needs to be fed.

How about zoo's

Any idea?

WTB LifeReef or compariable Overflow for around $50. Can pay via paypal.

Well I am finishing up my canopy and light setup and looking foward (yeah right) to building a sump. I want to put a lifereef overflow and was wondering how many GPH I should be moving for my 45g tall? Is the 700gph model to much? Should I stick with 400gph? I plan on having either a 10g or...

Here is mine about 2 months ago, will update soon

Richard Rendos what setup is it in? How long have you had it. Mine is excatly like yours, color and all. You know that hard ridges in-between the tentacles, most are pink, but I am also seeing white starting from the edges and going towards the mouth, is that a sign of skeleton exposure?

I little history is in order regarding my experience with xenia. Puchased frags from a local reefer. He housed them in a 40g breeder with 220w of pc set 5" from the top (suspended). These frags stayed small and pulsed like crazy. 3 different times I bought them from him. Our ph/alk matched...
