Hello all, did anyone try to use car neon light as a moonlight for the tank??? As i can't find blue LEDs here in Israel, i think this is the only option. Any oppinions :confused: Thanks.

I'm currently using Iwasaki 6500K bulb. I don't like its yellowish color. 10K gives you more natural color as well as your corals will look more beautiful.

Hi there, i'm looking for any info about AB Aqualine 10000 bulbs. Anyone have them on his setup? Any positive/negative feedbacks? How are those bulbs comparing to Ushio 10K bulbs. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the help guys Skilos1, i'll try to getthat code for you. What can you say about E-ballast. It's very expensive here in Israel. Our local company Metrolight produces them even for Icecap. So actually Icecaps are made my our company. What actuall pros you get with e-ballast? Energy...

Hello all, i'm currently using Iwasaki 250w bulb on my setup. Ballast is made for street lights(This is what are most israeli reefers do). Yesterday i have opened the ballast case to see how it's wired and found folowing. Ballast itself has to wiring diagrams: 1 - for HPS bulb 2 - for HPS/MH...

Thanks Skilos1!!! :cool:

Cool BigMac, but here's my question. If Alk has already dropped down, how can you bring it back up w/o using buffer solution? And what do you control/adjust by adjusting the output drip rate? Thanks.

Hi all, i need a help to understand how can you control Calcium and Alkalinity levels with calcium reactor, using CO2 input needle valve and reactor output drip rate. Quantity of bubbles in bubble counter can control the ammount of Ca being dissolved, as i understand. But how can you control...

Originally posted by tangsfornuttin I'm guessing that $100 doesn't cover the tank and regulator? Oh no. it doesn't.

xrayman, if your ALK is 4.5 Meq/l, so it's in the upper limit. Could be lowered a bit. But it's OK if you able to keep stable your Ca level at 440 ppm.

tangsfornuttin, i don't have schematics of all the building process, only few. All are in metric system. Let me know what particular you need and i'll try to draw it for you.

I'm going to build one myself. Actually i'm gonna build 2 skimmers. For me and for my friensd. He has all the materials and parts as well as drowings. And i have my hands;) . Thanks NM Reef!!! I know you are very proud of EuroReef skimmer. I heard a lot 'bout EuroReef skimmer. ONLY GOOD THINGS...

High speed aeration skimmer. Use link below... http://www.marinetechnical.com/hsa.htm#Specs

Hi all! I just finished to build my Calcium reactor and have a plans of building HSA skimmer. Anyone uses such a skimmer out there? Any pros and cons??? Cheers!!!

Stay away of Goniopora and Alveopora species. This is very difficult coral to keep even in perfect conditons and by professionals. Other corals you mentioned are pretty much simple to keep healthy for long periods.

Have a good luck!!! Follow the directions. Do not overdo with CO2 bubbles. Remember: CO2 will lower the PH of your system!!! Set about 20 bubbles a minute and as 1 drop per second on the reactor output. This is for the begining.

That's right!!!

The solenoid is primary used in combination with PH controller. As PH drops PH controller shuts down solenoid. Solenoid is connected to the CO2 supply prior the reactor unit. I use solenoid without PH controller. Reason??? When there is a power outage, i don't wanna CO2 to continue entering the...

That's too much for bubble counter. Send me your email adress to dima69@netvision.net.il and i'll send you few online stores URLs.

Well, my regulator is CO2 welding regulator. But it's pretty much the same principle.
