I have a JBJ 28 and with my tank, one MP10 is more than enough.

If the above doesn't do the trick, try posting over on R2R... or PM AZdesertrat.....he is an RO/DI expert and would be able to help.

Well tell us so the rest of us idiots don't do it as well!

You actually want to tight pack DI resin so you don't get flow passing the media. What TDS meter do you have? If you have the in-line type, switch them around to make sure your down line reader isn't toast. Just a thought.....otherwise, I'm scratching my head.

Justin, your tank looks fantastic! Nicely done.

I haven't read the articles, but what has me immediately scratching my head is that if a skimmer can, at best, only get out 30% of the crap, why have I also heard that you don't want to over skim and strip you tank. So if you get your tank down by 30% less, is it now stripped? And it also...

Although a bit fuzzy, it sure looks like a stomatella. Do a google search and compare the images there with what you have. You should be able to see a partial shell on its back.

I like that toothbrush - siphon thing. I've actually give thought on how to do something similar with a razor blade. Here's another maintenance tip.....lubing your rubber to prolong its life. I have a pool in the backyard and have "lubed" the rubber parts for over 30 years with Leslies's...

Johnny welcome. Nice looking tank. Please start a "Tale of the Tank."

HERE it is at HD.

Although I have a Reef Gadget on my MAG Float: I like this little scrapper idea. I don't have extra mini blind parts, but I do have plastic hangers. I'm thinking of attaching the hanger part to a plastic scraper for HD. This way it's easy to replace the blade. Thanks guys!

Wait.....aren't you fishless right now? There's no crap to clog up that sock. Wait until you get fish in there. You'll be cussing these socks as well. I have seven inch socks and sometimes I'll get a week out of them and other times, maybe three days.

We all know about Mag cleaners for glass, and soaking powerheads and pumps in vinegar, but what other things do you do that help in cleaning/maintaining your tank stuff that is not typical. I'll start with two simple things I use. The top thing is a garden support stick made of metal...

MP10 also do not have this blocked area.....all ribbed all the way around. I also perused the manual and found no mention of positioning this blocked area.

Jing, best of luck with the sale. I know when the dust settles, you'll be back. Best of luck.

I've had MP40's for a couple years. I clean the wet sides whenever I find the time....maybe every three months.....I know, not frequently enough. Never really paid attention to how I put the cleaned wet-side back in the tank.....just threw it in there. Well, I cleaned the wet sides...

I don't get this. I just looked up the specs on both the Eheim Jager and Sera heaters. I prefer Jagers, with Seras as my second choice, but the Jagers are just too long (for the same wattage). Anyway, the 300 W Sera is rated for a 40 - 80 gallon tank, while the 150 W Jager is rated for...

Wow! Two quick responses. Thanks. Pete and Kevin, that's what I wanted to hear. I knew the two 300's were overkill, but originally wasn't sure if two 150's would be enough. I got a pretty good indication when I saw that one 300 was maintaining temperature. And Kevin, I run my heaters...

I don't get it. I haven't added anything to my tank in at least a year, if not longer. I'm cleaning the sump...pulled the skimmer, return pump and biopellet reactor out and sucked all the water and schmutz out of these two portions of the sump. Low and behold I find a hermit in the skimmer...
