I have to tell you all I was in the same boat as you are... I went out and purchased a ReefKeeper 2 by Digital Aquatics and I absolutely love the device. It's very intuitive and it has a PH Probe that works perfectly and comes with a calibrating solution. It also has a PC hookup that will log...

Can you buy a good one at Home Depot or should I start shopping online? I'm really looking for a Seachem Pinnacle+ Reverse Osmosis (RO) System.

Do you run your system with glass covers over the tank or not?

Originally Posted by wattsupdoc I have the ecosystem 29 (only payed 250 for it though). The sump itself is OK as far as it goes. I threw out the bioballs and used LR instead. And the miracle mud seems to be ok for the cheato growth but.... it has a tendency to be disturbed easilty and cloud up...

Anyone ever heard of a sump called the Ecosystem Aquarium Filter Marine Sump ? It's 800 bucks and I really wonder why... am I missing something? I was talking to a guy I know and he said it's by far the best sump he's ever had... he replaced his home built one with it and he loves it...

Just a question... how did the other clown die?

Originally Posted by COWFISHRULE buy a mj1200 and mod it out... Mod it in what sense? I'm just looking for something to provide flow behind my liverock and something to add flow to the lower levels of the tank.

Originally Posted by earlybird 8.0 is great as long as it is consistant. 7.8-8.3 is a good range but consistancy is more important. To increase pH you need to have good gas exchange (powerheads agitating the surface). pH is generally lower in the morning when lights have been off all night...
