    sump help

    Drill a small hole on the return just below the water level of the tank. This will create a vacume break. Check hole monthly cause they clog up sometimes. Not sure on CPR's. I would bring the bulkhead to make sure you get the right size. A pool supply place should have what you're looking for...

    AquaControllers for Dummies

    Ed. If you're dc8 is pluged into a GFCI, the GFCI could be too weak. Sometimes they come brand new weak. Try pluging it in direct and see what happens. Brian. It is not needed if you remember that the PH reading is incorrect when it's hooked up to you're PC.

    AquaControllers for Dummies

    Yes, you can program the ACJR with the PC. I couldn't imagine trying to program it on the little display on the AC. Plus you can keep a graph running showing you're PH and Heat changes.

    AquaControllers for Dummies

    Thanks Bill. I forgot to add that the 4 outlets won't be switched. You can pick up the adaptor for the serial cable to convert it over to male at a PC store.

    AquaControllers for Dummies

    Did you get the PC cable also? If so ,you'll need an isolator. Works great especially the feed cycle. It turns off the power heads. You can daisy chain either up via phone wire and change the pin settings. I'm running 3 250watt MH, VHO's 2 heaters, 1/3 hp chiller,vortec pump, seio 2500 pump, and...

    Ozone or not to Ozone ?

    Does it matter if you get a bigger unit? The only things needed for set up are? Ozone generator, Orp meter, orp controller, and extra tubing? Do I need pumps or anything? Does it hafta run thru a skimmer? What are my other options? Thanks for you're help. Mike

    My New Frags from Daniel

    Looking good. You read my mind. Last year I bought 100 lbs. of live rock covered in hair algae. I loved it. Made my tank look like a natural reef, without scuba diving. Needless to say, it all disapered in a few months. I was bummed.

    If you're handy, a DIY would be the cheapest.
