    Automated fresh water making

    I am looking for an efficient way to automate my water making. I don't like doing it manually anymore. Takes too much time. I want to turn it on and walk away. This is not to make up water in the tanks. I do not use ro+di. I use Kold Ster-il+di. Should not matter what filter I use. I think I...

    Protein Skimmer not working?

    input on automatic water replenishment

    Sunscreen - bad for reefs?

    I thought this thread was about swimmers in the oceans contaminating the natural reefs with sunscreens when they go swimming ???. Yes I can see sunscreen causing damage in a closed system.
