I made the same suggestion to him a few weeks ago.

Location 08830 Lightly used and priced for a quick sale. One year old. Breaking down some of my tanks and no longer needed. http://www.superskimmer.com/SumpBuddy60.htm $200.00 I also have a gen x 55 pump for it as well. Excellent condition as well...

GSM pair pending.

I think Flare1185 is in Somerset.

What size is your tank? What size are your two overflows? How high are the returns to your DT from your sump? Does your return pump power your skimmer too or is that gravity fed from your overflow? What kind and how many powerheads are you using in you DT?

Yes, I have done it by mixing it myself and it does work. I believe there is more tds in the water coming from your hot water heater and pipes then from your cold pipes. This will use up your membrane faster too. I have never checked the tds difference in my hot and cold water readings in my...

I have always read that hot water will damage your RO filter quickly. I found this interesting calculator for calculating production at different pressures and temperatures. Limited range though http://buckeyefieldsupply.com/calc.asp

Pressure is equal in the entire house no matter where you connect. This is unless your connection is on different elevations in your home or after a reduced pressure zone. Differences in head pressures on higher or lower elevations will have different pressure readings. I didn't realize he was...

Maybe I missed something but where and when did a garden hose come in to the picture? You will have the same pressure anywhere you check in the house. Your water temperature coming in to the house can not be 80 degrees this time of year.

I have a 150 gpd that I modifies to 450gpd (added two more RO filters in parallel) I can make 10 gallons in 30 minutes. That is right on. It was right on before the mod as well. The pressure at my ro/di is 65psi. Optimum input pressure is in the 60-80 PSI range. Below about 40 PSI the unit...

Looking good. As far as the anemone goes it seems they have a mind of there own. They will go where they want to no matter how hard you try to place them. It will move when it is good and ready.

Not yet. Too many projects too little time. I am not sure what system to put it on. I am kind of thinking that the reactor I have is a little on the large size for a first go at it ;). I want to try it out on a smaller scale first to see if I can get a handle on it.

Time to change the GFO. Readings today are 0.84 after another day of light feedings. At this rate the only way I can afford to run GFO is to regenerate it. I hope my sodium hydroxide gets here soon.

Yes, it does appear there is something going on. He must keep it going. Are you trying to scare the teacher? LOL.

If he has not monitored the entire process from ammonia through nitrates he may not have cycled at all. If he did cycle the tank initially and has not added any more ammonia source to the tank the cycle process may have to be repeated. It would be simple to check. Add a source of ammonia...

My head hurts reading all this information and I have been doing this for 20 yrs. LOL Would others agree that putting a skimmer online before the tank has cycled would be counter productive to the process unless he uses the household ammonia method. I found this article to refer to. I have...

The tank and rock work looks nice. What have you used to start and maintain the tank cycle? Did you seed the tank with established rock or sand from another system? Did you add any commercial bacteria strains to start the cycle? What kind of sand are you using and where did it come from...

LOCATION: 08830 I have a large pair of orange Ocellaris clown fish for sale. I bought them as a pair about a year or so ago and they have been together with since then. They are not a spawning pair as of yet. I would not sell them except I have three pair of these and I want to make room for a...

My phosphate reading this morning went up to 0.68. I checked the reading twice. I even did lighter than normal feedings yesterday. I have no sand bed in this tank or in the fuge. It is not coming from my water source. I maintain the RODI filters well and use multiple tds meters to make sure...

Checked phosphates today around 3pm and PO4 was down to 0.20. I also ordered some NAOH/Sodium Hydroxide to recharge the spent GFO. Has anyone considered or have recharged their GFO? Seems like an easy and inexpensive thing to do.
