salt mix study: part 1 http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2005/11/aafeature1 part 2 http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2005/12/aafeature1 ***No salt in this study is an accurate simulation of natural sea water. All salts had at least one toxic heavy metal that was far in excess of NSW levels. When all...

Tim What makes you say you lost everything because of the salt???? I have been using IO for 20ish years and have never been able to blame any losses on salt.

An Iwaki MD55RLT would work great on your setup. plenty of head pressure to run the Ocean Clear. If the flow proves to be too much for the drains you can always throttle it with a valve without damage to the pump. I have one doing just that on a 75gal but I ditched the canister filter ages ago...

just want to add that my house t-stat is set at 74. A low ambient temp has a big impact on cooling the tank so if your home gets into the 80's you might not see the same results as me.

no HD in my section of the swamp so I donr know, but I do know Lowe's does not carry acrylic cement. I got mine from a local glass shop. I have seen it on E-bay in the past

I have a closed loop on my 240gal LUV my Dolphin Ampmaster 3600 Skimmer is a diy Beckett downdraft run by a Iwaki MD55RLT Ruturn pump from sump is another Iwaki MD55RLT

If I remember correctly GE SiliconeII is a total different animal from the orig GE silicone. Uses ammonia for curing I think rather than acetic acid (vineger) like the orig. I have used the orig clear GE silicone to build several small tanks and to recaulk older tanks. never had a problem. Just...

Quint do you need a bigger boat? LOL luv that movie. My .02$ : I'm not sure "food grade" is the correct description for the type s/s you are talking about. Many types of stainless are food grade. Alloy composition and method of fabrication would be better. The most corrosion resistant...

been there done that with a window a/c unit and it works like a charm. Use Titanium tubing!!! E-mail me for the source I got my tubing from (very inexpensive). I used an elcheapo Wal-Mart 5,000 btu a/c with the digital controls. ripped the case apart, built an acrylic chamber around the evap...
