    Reefers in southern new jersey

    I'm in Mount Laurel now, but lived in Margate for 35 years, and know your area well. As George (tanksnstuff) said twisted is in Cape May and weinerdog is in AC, so he's really close to you.

    RO/DI pressure problems

    I only have a 4 stage, 75 GPH unit and use the 1 Micron MATRIKX +1 Carbon Block along with the 1 Micron ROsave.Zs sediment filter, without a problem. The unit originally came with the 5 micron version of these prefilters. My pressure gauge is connected just after the prefilters @ ~ 60 psi...

    Vinegar Dosing

    I think you would be better served to get a better/more accurate test ket. I've compared the new Red Sea with both Salifert and Tropic Marin, and they are all very close.

    Starting Bio-Pellets

    I'm happy enough with this trial period, that I just bought a real "made for bio-pellet" reactor, a Reef Octopus BM110. I'm still only running half of the recommended amount of pellets(1 1/2 cups) in a converted BRS reactor. I have two options: a) Keep the BRS Reactor running as is, and fill...

    Brandon's you were right 75g upgrade

    Have you been working in the tank recently? Have any Palys/Zoa's? Could it be a palytoxin? I read a few stories of reefers who wanted to get rid of the Paly's on the LR in their tank and one tried to boil them off and another tried to burn them off. The one who tried the boiling method inhaled...

    Twisteds 180 starting over

    Well, it's good to know/important, so you don't repeat the same problem. If there's anything I can do let me know.

    Newbie Help Needed If Anyone Can Point Me In the Right Direction.....????

    Whole tank or just the bottom? If you can not drill the tank, another options would be one of these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zVGwdRVHU4

    Newbie Help Needed If Anyone Can Point Me In the Right Direction.....????

    Looks like a nice set up, good luck with it and welcome to the club. It doesn't appear that there are any bulkheads in the tank. If it were me I'd probably remove the overflow chamber and drill the tank for a glass holes overflow or a beananimal, and add a sump/refugium under the tank, either...

    Ph Extremely Low - Windows are open, but next steps?

    You might look for a Hach or LaMotte, but more likely going to find either a Salifert or Elos.

    Ph Extremely Low - Windows are open, but next steps?

    I use Kalkwasser in my top off, but don't use a reactor since, although I do have a good ATO device, I do it manually. Are you running a Ca reactor? I would get a second opinion on your problem, in case it is your equipment. Here is some good info...
