I did the initial washing, I have also heard that you have to bypass the waste line's flow restrictor for 1 min after every use of the filter, to wash waste off the surface of the membrane. After some research, i think I am suppose to leave the water in the filter to prevent the RO membrane from...

Bummmmmmp!

OK, here is Ajer's practical solution! When your generator runs out of gas, rip the generator (electrical motor) off the gas motor, and make a small paddle wheel out of wood, and put it in your sink, attached to the generator. Then crack out your voltage regulator, and hook that up to the...

Drain your canister filter, if you have one, maintain your tank's temp with tap RO water or heat RO water on a gas stove of some sort or other heating system and add that. Generators REALLY help, I had a power outage as a really new reefer, but luckily, I had a HUGE generator I bought before a...

Thanks For The Insult Delaharsha! Yes, Keeping Octopi with seahorses is the very peak of Marine Aquarium Genius! Or keeping tangs in a nano! There are people like Bang Guy, that have 25+ years experience in marine fish. Are you calling them "Google know it all's"? Or are you just insulting the...

So I got my Bulk reef supply RO/DI unit today. I got a flush kit as well, and heard you are suppose to flush FilmTec membranes for 1 min. Is this correct? Also, after flushing, should I drain the filter? Could you outline the entire "shut-down" process for the filter?

Na, maybe later I'll use it for that. I should be getting it the end of this month when I get my paycheck.

If you have the room and money, go for a Reef Octo HOB 100 Series...They need 3-4 inches of clearance on the back of the tank, you COULD hang it on the side of the tank, but are GREAT skimmers, I have the basic model, the BH-100. Seaclones I have heard are the best in they're price range, but...

Looked at columbus's utilities page, this is what almost all districts of OH do: Water is pumped into the treatment plant from the reservoir or stream through [1] rotating screens [2]. Alum is added to cause flocculation [3]. After rapid mixing (20-40 minutes), the water remains in [4] the...

Absolutly NO idea what the water in Columbus is like. Charlottesville has pretty good water. I will not have a water softener. Does anyone that lives in Columbus know?

I live in Charlottesville, VA now, but am going to be moving to columbus OH in may. Will this RODI be good enough for a reef tank there?

I am planning to get the 75 GPD 4 stage RODI economy unit from ***. Is it a good one?

I also got the Cheato. Also, I am thinking about upgrading my lighting. I was interested in the 20" sunpod, but I have a Acrylic lid. Also considering the 20" nova extreme pro. Which should I go with?

Ph is too low. If you've cycled your tank, your Nitrogen Cycle is GREAT! If not, you need to add ammonia by ghost feeding. Good Luck!!

VERY hard!!

All T-5s, PCs, T-12 etc. have mercury in the tube. When electricity is run through the mercury, it fluoresces UV. The tube is lined with Phosphors which convert the UV into different wavelength (hertz) visible light. Tri-Phosphor tubes for instance have 3 different phosphors emitting light at 3...
