well after a very mis-fortunate event of coming home to see that my tank cracked and my livstock dead on the sand bed I have decided to get out of the hobby for a while to take breather so to speak. On a good side I have a very nice showpiece of some base rock that I just bought before the...

i dont know, thats the only info they give on them. I think im just going to squeeze in some t-5's. Ive had good luck with them.

Number of lights: 2 bars Number of LED's per light: 12 Colour of LED's: blue Dimensions (length x diameter): 28 x 1.6cm LED diameter: 5mm Beam angle: 120° Attachment: suction pads Power input: 100 - 240V - 0.4A, 50-60Hz Power output: 12V ---1.0A Type: non-waterproof. For above water...

got a 65 gal tank and trying to set up a lighting situation. I have a halide pendant hanging above the center and its not leaving much room for any t-5 or PC. I was wondering if i used the led strip lighting, would that be able to work for accent lighting like atinics or should i try to just...

I had the same problem on my old 55 gal setup. The flow rate seems to differ from one person to the next. I have two LFS that I have been going to for a while now, one store is owned by an old timer who belives you should only have 10x flow/hr so your sump can work its magic while the other...

would you recomend putting them over a 65 gal that meausers 36"x20"x24". And are these bright enough to reach the bottom of the tank. Im sorda blind to this topic and need any suggestions for brands to look for.

So I went to my LFS today and he showed me all the benifits of LED lighting and I think im sold on them except for the price. By the time I walked out of there the total was going to be near 1200. I have been trying to read up on this subject for a while now but it all seems sooooo foriegn to...

just wondering if this majestic angel will pick on leather corals and carpet anemone

i know that the colder the water, the less water produced but im getting an 8:1 ratio, i talked to the rep and they are based in wisconson, he said that even on there worst days there are running about 6:1 and thats where winters are real winters, not like mine here in califonia.

well i finally got a hold of the rep again about this problem and he told me that they have been packaging thier ro membranes dry and that somtimes it takes a week or two to get them fully saturated with water, once the membrane is fully saturated he said that the membrane will start to produce...

yeah, i asked to do an exchange and they told me that they cant do it because the system is now used. I have been calling coralife directly and so far have just been getting the run around answers like check to see if somthing is clogged, and if the unit is hooked up correctly.

Just saw that there was an equipment board here and posted in the wrong board, anyway, i just purchased a coralife pure flo II ro/di unit. I installed the unit and im producing a horrible ratio of good water to waste water. I disassembled the entire unit and put it all back together and still...

im very dissapointed with the company who sold me this unit, the first thing i did was call them up to see if i could do a return on the item and they told me that they dont do returns on used items. Very bad business in my opinion, if you sell a item, you should stand behind it, especialy when...

Originally Posted by Reeferrookie I'm assuming you have the correct flow restrictor in the waste line? i belive so, i just took it all apart and put it back together, and still having the same problem. My waste line is steadly pouring out while my good water is dripping about a drop every one...

i used a drip method into a bucket, and the lights were on when i acclimated it but i had it in a bucket where it was recieving very low light. It did have this brown stuff coming out of its mouth but i didnt touch it to see if the anemone was sticky. I just checked it now and it has somthing...

just got a rbta, it looked good in the store so i took it home and started to acclimate it for about two/maybe three hours. When i was looking at it in the store it looked great, once i put it in my tank the mouth of it is literaly wide open and looks like it is tearing in half. Checked my...

ok, i got my pressure gauge installed and im pushing about 70-72 through the membrane. What do you think my next step should be, other than ripping my hair out

Thats what im honestly afraid of, but if i need another pump then i need another pump. Thanks for the help, just wanted to get some input with some people who have experience in the hobby.

i used a pressure gauge from the hose faucet in the backyard, it read 80-85psi. I have an actual gauge on order to tap into the RO membrane housing so i will know exactly how much pressure i have in the unit. I was wondering, if the pressure to the RO unit is about 65 then what else could it be.
