i see what u are doing with the extra membrane, i like it.

im very skeptical when it comes to new products or even old ones. i want to see results. I've grown orchids for the last 13 years and know a ton about what 1/4 tds will do to growth and other variables, based on personal obserbations and data logs. Id love some tech links. the reading makes...

I have seen those cata carbon that are refillable. They seem cost effective. Are they proven to work? What is the dif between that stuff and activated carbon? There is pretty high turbitity in our water kinda sucks...

not sure of the pressure, it does drop a little during the day. TDS was at 7 with the old system. thanks for the input all.

How did u do with t5s? Did u run 4 or 6 bulbs? Did they seem happy? Bulb combos/recommendations?

We just replaced an RO system and have the skeleton of the old one sitting. The new one is a 4 Stage, sediment, carbon, membrane, DI. I would like to take the extra cans and run an extra sediment and an extra carbon. Will this reduce the pressure noticeably? would this be benificial?

Thank you very much for the info. I have thought about taking a knife to the rose and decided that it was the worst idea ever. What kind of lighting do u have, what depth are they, what do you feed/how often, size of tank? Clowns hosting?

The bleach acts instantly, thats the beauty of it. most others take minutes, hours, and even days. the only problem has always been diluting it to an acceptable level.

a trick we used at salmon hatcheries was to take a 1' piece of nylon rope and tie it to the handle. let it hang there when u are using it. when you go to stack them, take the piece of rope and toss it in the bucket. it doesnt let the air stick them together. works without fail. the old step...

would animals normally exposed to shallow water light (more red im guessing) benefit from the use of more of a red spectrum? I do need to read up a bit on what spectrums are filtered, and at what depth, to clarify my question more i guess.

Im fortunate to have a tech buddy that can build LED arrays, and I would like some suggestions for light combos and other materials I would need. The light will go on a 29gal. I dont plan on SPS but would like to keep nems in there. thanks for the input.

I was just looking to see if we had enough pics for a build thread (we dont) and found this awesome pic of our big rbta taking a snail ride. when we got the system the nem was tossed into a bucket with a big snail. the snail didnt seem to mind running him half way around the tank.

the pump I have for you is a sedra 3500. dont think thats gonna work. I had some issues with our 5000 when we put a new return pump for awhile. the thing got a mind of its own for a week, it did what you are describing. then it magically started again...wierd.

If all else fails let me know. I have a 350 gph euroreef skimmer pump for you if you need it. you would need to get a new O ring. It runs dead silent.

What kind of pump are you running on the skimmer? I'm wondering what the GPH is.

Sounds like a pretty one. I would be happy to take care of the nem. I just took a knife to a rainbow last night and all seems well. I made a cut in half, then halfed a half. If the two small ones take (looks like they will) then they will be our first DBTC. Good luck, sterilize...

Wow, I must be thinking of something else. That's a lot of pods. Im a dummy.

3 Stores within 40 min from me have tigger feast for sale...I've had good luck with picky eaters with this stuff.

TDS is still testing at 7ppm on my Hanna meter.

A rusty nozzle went on the hose that I use for my RO system to wash a car. The rust bback flowed into the hose and I think some went into the system. Will it get filtered out? Should I worry about this? The system is outside and already had some sediment/brown algae on the pre-filter. I have...
