Oh one other thing... any rec's on a QUIET one?

bump in the night...

It's become apparent that I'm going to need a chiller for my 90 gallon office tank. It's running about 83 degrees to 84 degrees during the day with 500 watts of MH. I want to drop it back down to around 79 degrees... So what size of chiller do I need... I'm hoping that I dont have to go for a...

I dont think we're supposed to post links but an RO/DI is really necessary unless you want to buy your water. I wouldnt suggest that unit though... If I were you I'd look at something made by SpectraPure. I've got one of their units and it's really great!

Ok I'm convinced on the building of a Sump/Fuge. I have a 90 gallon tank and I did some checking and the best I can do is two 10 gallon glass tanks underneath. My idea is to join them with bulkheads but I really am not sure if that's the best way.... I'm looking for feedback and help with a...

Well I've decided to go ahead and do a Diary even though it's a little late to start since I've been running for about 45 days with really good levels: PH: 8.13 NH4: 0 NO3: 0 NO2: 0 Tank's doing well and I used it to save 4 Clowns from a friend's dying tank. Anyway on to the tank... 90...

I've got a 90 gallon AGA with 4 Maxijet 1200's and a Mag 950 in the sump. So that's my question... I'm turning over sump -> tank 10x per hour but the 4800 gph on the Maxijet's is a lot of flow... so I'm just curious as to how much is too much?

One other thing that's really nice is that it has a "soft start" for halides!! That's a GOOD feature :)

That's how mine is. I have a big desk with a 90 gallon tank right next to it ;) The RK2 allowed me to get rid of like 3 power strips, 4 timers and gives me some good information at a glance ;)

Very interesting... I've pulled my glass tops :)

The RK2 actually hooks up to your PC via a serial connection. Basically they sell you a "splitter" to allow you to split the temperature connection into two connections. This splitter is nothing more than a telephone (RJ11) splitter and you can use any one you have in your house. They include...

This is actually interesting to me (the results). Very interesting indeed. I figured there would be more closed than this... ;)

The emeralds should be fine.. I'd be very cautious about hermits.

I have a conundrum on my hands... I really want to build an automated top off system out of the new RO/DI filter I just ordered. The conundrum is this tank I want to top off is in my office which does not have a water supply. So I was thinking about putting the RO/DI system in the basement...
