Hello everyone, I'm in a marine biology class, and I have been assigned a research paper on a Marine species. I have chosen to do it on the various forms of montipora. There is very limited info on Wiki-pedia, and i've not been able to find anything really of substance. If you know any sites...

I'm about to buy a RO/DI system and I just came across a site that has an RO/DI +chloramine filter. The description is kind of leading me to believe that large municipal water supply districts add chloramine to the public water. I want to make sure i get the right unit from the start. Thanks, Kev

I'm making a closed loop with a Quiet One 9000. it's rated at 2300 gph max. I will have several return lines from the pump. What size/ how many drain lines should i use. the input is 1 1/2" and so is the return. They seem like pretty sweet little pumps. I hope the question is clear enough.

So i'm looking for a good sump that will offer enough space to house refugium, protein skimmer, and return pump. http://www.petsolutions.com/Eshopps-...C40003290.aspx Im using it for a 75 gallon reef tank. Should i go with the medium size unit?

HEllo, I'm quarantining a Blue hippo tang he's been in the QT for 2 weeks. I am using CopperSafe by Mardel. The instructions were to add 1 tsp. per 4 gallons water. It's a 10 gallon QT. So i added the suggested amount and then tested it. the copper is at about 0.25ppm. That doesn't seem like...
