I have toyed with this idea the tubing must be large. 1/4" ice maker line will not work. The unit must be 100% sealed or the water will dump in one shot. The amount of evaporation means alot of make up water. Disadvantages you still need to carry the water Gallons to the tank.

This stray voltage come thru the air and is present in the tank. A GFCI will only interupt the circuit in a overload condition and will trip close to the source instead of at you curcuit breaker box. This apartment has every bulb blown all breaker tripped and black smoke on the walls at the...

That is right I have been battling red slime algea in a 65gallon tank for 8 months on and off. The cleaners who shampood the carpet got water in the outlet blew every bulb in the apartment including the insulation resistance of the new lighting system. This was not a problem before the...

I just read that notable reef authorities recommend having a refugium turn over rate similiar to that of the main tank. Is this against everything that I have be reading? I could elimate 1 of my external pumps and go down to 1200gph this is what I had for 3 years prior. This 36 refuge looks as...
