Thanks for the advice, I have decided to go with one skimmer. I found a Tunze 9410 used in good condition. I'm hoping it will be big enough. I understand the concerns with it being big enough for my tank, but in order to get the cup off, I'm really limited to under 20 inches or less. I...

I actually do have a TDS meter, I'm fortunate that my water tests pretty good out of the faucet and perfect out of the RODI (as it should) and my filters last a long time in my RODI. I will take your suggestions on changing the water, I always simply change it and don't blow off my rock. I...

Thanks again for the prompt replies. The Octopus XP1000sss is still going to be too tall I think. It's just over 20 inches. I think I'll go with the 9010, from what I can tell it's basically the same thing as the 2011 but I can get it for 100 dollars cheaper. I'll do some more research on...

Thanks for the replies. I understand the skimmer won't remove nitrates, I do water changes to reduce them, but I need a good skimmer to help keep them at lower levels. I am also planning on trying biopellets. I looked at the Octopus Diablo skimmer, unfortunately I only have 20" clearance. I...

I am looking at upgrading my skimmer. I currently have a 180 gal tank w/sump. My tank is set up as FOWLR because I've never had the lighting for corals. My LED's will be in tomorrow and am trying to upgrade my equipment to get my Nitrates to 0, they've always been around 20 mainly because of...

I'm still trying to figure out the tiger in the background of the first pick more than the person in the second.

I'll take it, I can pay with paypal, I will email you.

Great, thanks guys :).

I am just starting to add some "easy" corals to my FOWLR tank, and have a question about bringing up my Calcium and alk. My levels are as follows Alk 2.5 meq/L Cal 360 PH 8.1 consistently (have a fuge that lights run opposite tank) I know I need to raise both, but first need to get my calcium...

I've used the glass cleaners that are magnets and siliconed my powerheads to them, it seems to work well, I've had them up for about 6 months with no problems.

If it's still available, i'm still interested, just let me know, you can email me if you want: bgrauberger@excite.com Thanks, Brian

Fair enough, just let me know. Thanks, Brian

Would you take 120 shipped to 31201. If so I can pay w/paypal. Thanks, Brian

thanks for the replies. I am going to swap out my return pump for one I know the rating on. Right now I'm taking the word of the person I purchased the tank from of the flow rate of the pump because all the writing on it has worn off. I don't think however that it's flow. It seems to me that...

Thanks for the advice. Because your description was over my head, I will print out what you said and let my friend read it. Hopefully I can get this figured out. Thanks, Brian

It felt very cold out of water, but I will put it back in the sump and check it. I also have a friend with a heating and air company, I will have him check it for leaks also. Just curious, approximately how long should it take a 180 to drop 2 degrees running vho's in a house that's about 80...

Originally Posted by Farslayer Is the coil cold or not? If not, you need to have it checked for a leak and have some refrigerant put in. I didn't check it while it was in the tank, so possibly I could've had the tubing kinked a little but i don't think I did. When I took it out, I plugged it...

Thanks for the replies. I thought about the flow, but I have a thermometer in the sump and in the display, and the sump is staying relatively close to the the display in temp, so I don't think it's the flow. I'm wondering about a leak, I have a friend who owns a heating and air company, think...

Hi, I was hoping someone could give me some advice on a used chiller I recently purchased. It was sold as a 1/3 hp Aqualogic, but in researching once I received it, I believe it is a Custom Sea Life chiller, but the compressor is still 1/3 hp. It is a drop in chiller I'm using for my 180 gal...
