    Comparison: HOB vs Sump

    I had to just vent/rant what have you. When I started this hobby I had a 55g with all HOB equipment and it was bad and then found this club. Shortly after I upgraded to 75g RR. The sump was small so no room for a fuge so I kept using the HOB fuge and the tank did well. I then obtained a bigger...

    Is my calculation correct?

    Considering my Dino issues. I am taking steps to rectify and am now considering an RO/DI unit. I have a 72g DT and 2og sump. Sump is 1/2 full so let's say 10g; total water volume 82g rounded to 80g. My question is how long would it take to switch over to RO/DI only using my ATO? The reservoir...

    Gyre 150 question

    Some tank maintenance today. I went to clean the Gyre and noticed putting it back that it was spinning in reverse. A few months ago I swapped out the extra impeller while others were being cleaned. Reading instructions seems I put the replacement in wrong but cannot figure out what I did wrong...

    Algae Scrubber - Would this work

    I have an Eshopps RS-1 sump, so not much room. The middle chamber houses my skimmer so no space there. However, there is a section where you place black sponges, bubble trap I assume, just before return chamber. Can I remove the sponge and use the plastic screen as an algae scrubber? Would get a...

    Asking computer geeks

    Need a little help as its been quite some time since I tried this. Picked up a desktop and the monitor is small and a bit flaky, meaning power would go on and off at slightest touch.

    Test kit temperatures

    I decided to test my water and see if anything odd shows up. I keep all my equipment in the garage which is very cold as we all know. Can I use the kits right away or let them sit until they reach room temp? Not sure if the temperature will impact the chemicals and test results. Thanks
