Plenty of used equipment can be had in your price range. I personally prefer DSLR over a point and shoot but you can get the job done with either. DSLR's can get expensive since you need to buy this lens or that as with a point and shoot you pretty much get what you get. No matter which you get...

Red Sea Coral Pro....just tried this salt out at the beginning of the year. I had been using Reef Crystals and IO since I started but lately it did not put me where I wanted to be. Something seemed to have changed with the mix. The Red Sea salt puts me closer to my preferred target water params...

Info you need is: 120V Input power 36V output power ~250 VA power (VA and Watts are the same in this case and you need no less than 216 VA) You are looking for a laminated core or EI transformer. You are AC to AC.

What kind of information is it asking for? Is that AC/AC or AC/DC, or if you don't know what is it feeding? You need something better than 216 VA though.

Pellets have been tumbling for about 3 months now and am running a total of ~500ml. It took a while but my phosphates are finally under control at about .05. Polyp extension on my green toadstool seems to have increased a bit, total extension is probably about 2". I originally topped off at...

You should always flush before each use to get rid of the TDS creep as they call it. Think of it like the GFO that doesn't release phosphates back into the water, that is not the case with the membranes especially when they are not flowing. When you replace DI you will always get usually a...

That sucks...Glad you are ok though. Water and electricity are never a good mix.

I ran standard BRS GFO, still have some left actually. I changed to Rowaphos soon after. I found the BRS GFO really messy. I currently do not use either anymore though as I decided to use biopellets instead.

My wife says it reminds her of the baby Alien from the movie.

The hitchhiker. I left the Clown in the picture so you can get an idea how small this guy is.

When I get a chance I will take a picture but I bought a piece of tight branching birdsnest. The piece is about 2-3 inches. Seems I got another hitchhiker! It is a goby, almost looks like a panda goby at about 1/2 inch. Definitely a cool addition and hard as hell to get a picture of....almost...

Hitchhiker. I never thought buying one thinking one of my fish would have snacked on it.

New updates: Jebao is up and running like a champ. Had to silicone the casing as it was leaking and now I am leak free. I have a drip pan under it in case it decides to start up again. When my old pump tripped my GFI receptacle the biopellet reactor was down for 4 hours. So to answer my own...

So last night I got home to a tripped GFI. Everything was fine with the tank but it seems my main pump was creating a problem. It is a Reeflo Blowhole 1100, I will test to see what is up with the pump later. I decided to put the Jabeo I had lying around and it is not a half bad pump. I am using...

Horizontal distance is not so bad as every 10 feet of horizontal is 1 foot of head....every 90 is 1 foot and every vertical is 1 for 1. You should be more than fine as long as your not going 24 feet vertical.

Yeah I have it in a virtual switch now so I feel like acting like the Hunger Games I just turn it on for a minute.

I use a VDM and the WXM and I believe it was worth it, but it really comes down to how much control do you want and can your wallet handle it. The vortecs for instance, I have multiple programs throughout the day which you cannot do with the pumps controller aside from feed and night...

I can help on programming. I had a few issues with fusion but mostly pump related with the wxm module and my mp10s. It is fixed now though. I do like the fusion setup when it comes to the vortechs, makes programming easier and for the not so good programmers it does make it a ton easier. Same...

A few that made it up the glass

I have searched everywhere with no definitive answers. How long can you let pellets sit before the bacteria starts to die? I never shut down my reactor except to clean the reactor, but normal maintenance and feeding I keep it running.
