    CO2 Scrubber

    Best sand to get

    It's far from perfect, i.e. 40 lbs of crushed coral is going to occupy more space that 40 lbs of sugar sized oolite.

    Best sand to get

    I remember a "rule of thumb" that was one pound, per gallon, per inch. So, a 40 gal. tank would require about 40 lbs. to get a 1" deep bed.

    Pump advice

    I don't have any experience with these, so take this for what it's worth, but Waveline has a DC 12000 (3,170 gph max at 19 ft.)that would be more powerful, and I think they are all made in the same place, just a horse of a different color.

    Pump advice

    It has a power supply, much like your lap top's so nothing extra to buy.

    Pump advice

    There's not a whole lot of difference in price, I'd go with the larger one and turn it down if you have to.

    Pump advice

    I replaced two Mag 9's with a Diablo 10500, and cut my energy consumption better than in half, i.e. 85w vs 186w. Having said that, I'm sure my heater is working a little harder too.

    Dan's 90G Reef

    I have two 40's in a 180, and can't run them both at the same time. I'd suggest the 25's for a 4 foot tank.

    Raising pH

    This is used in a CO2 scrubber, which is a container that holds the soda lime, which filters the air before entering the skimmers air intake.

    Raising pH

    For another $40m you can get about 4 times more, i.e. 37 lbs. vs 9 lbs. http://www.wayfair.com/Molecular-Products-Gallon-Pail-Sodalime-120020-00-AMW1000.html?refid=ER&mmid=59905639&csnid=F7860E61-3B15-4405-975B-ECDDAA05BA76#specs
