It would be best to set your BP reactor so the effluent is plumbed directly into the intake of your skimmer.

I run GAC, GFO and BP's in separate reactor's.

Looks great Matt, well done.

I'll take the October meeting.

I guess that would be the holy grail. No such device, so individual test kits/meters are your only options.

This will depend on the quality of your raw water, and how much water you use. In my case, I have very good raw water ~ 130 TDS, and I make about 150 Gal. a month. I replace my sediment filter about every three month's, the carbon block every six, and I get about a year out of my DI resin. My...

PO4 is good, Alk is good. I'd stay away from the Ca meter, there's been a lot of complaints and I'm not sure they've solved the problem(s).

I've been using this skimmer for a little over a year on a 180, with a fairly heavy load. it's very quiet, works great, and has an external drain. http://www.petmountain.com/product/aquarium-skimmers/11442-573345/hero-180-protein-skimmer.html Add it to the cart, it's $300.00 with free shipping.

They were steam engines, right? :glee: Hey, It's always a good idea to double check your work.

No filter. My manual recommends the use of a high quality detergent oil classified for service SF, SG, SH, SJ, or higher. Viscosity is determined by the outdoor temperature, with the supplied 30W is good for above +40 degree F. The synthetic 5W30 I use is good between -30 to +110 degrees F.

They recommend using a "detergent" type of oil. Go to ~ 2:25 in this video.

I used egg crate and zip ties too.

It was for the engine crank case, not the generator.

The unit I bought came with a straight 30W oil, I would suggest using one of the synthetic 5W-30W oils instead.
