    Starting 30 Gallon Reef! Questions???

    That is what I'm saying get the pump and you're litty mgitty. But also holds true can't have too much psi. I wanna see what type of waste I produce before adding the second membrane and pump

    Starting 30 Gallon Reef! Questions???

    If you install a second RO membrane into the system it doubles the good water and reduces the waste water. Obviously more expensive though.

    Starting 30 Gallon Reef! Questions???

    I picked up 2 A80's from someone on the site. I got the spectral controller so I'll have a good program! I am worried about the intensity but if it cycled with a program it should be okay. Will need to monitor it

    Mechanical Timer attached to ATO.

    1.) A mechanical timer would be the third form of redundancy. The first form would be the smart sensor which shoots a lazer.. there is no float valve. It's always closed so when the power is lost it closes and stops the pump from pumping water into my tank. The second form of redundancy is...

    Both one is for ATO for my tank and one is for fill line on my 44 gallon brute garbage can. As I don't trust those floats. I wanted to redundancies

    Mechanical Timer attached to ATO.

    They will be separate for sure ! I am saying that to even avoid my resivour from overfilling my tank let it run for 5 minutes a day and even if my ATO sensor breaks it can only fill for 5 mins. My RO/DI will NOT refill my resivour. My RO/DI will have an ATO as well as a float valve and the...

    Thanks!! That's savings to my ear! I was under the impression I'd be replacing regularly. So the protein skimmer removed bad bacteria while the good bacteria clings to these. A fuge will also be good bacteria correct ?

    Mechanical Timer attached to ATO.

    Hello, I am planning on using a mechanical timer on both my RO/DI ATO & my tank ATO. This would stop TDS creep as it would only allow the RO system to produce water & top off x amount of hours per day. However, my concern is that the constant turning on & off of these units will do damage...

    Wouldn't the protein skimmer take care of bio? I'll def look into chemipure blue - I've heard that talked about a LOT. The AIO has a spillover into 2 socks so that takes care of that !

    I will be running a Tunze 9001 protein skimmer, this shouldn't be added till after it cycles correct? I plan on having a fuge... chaeto and a light. I see people use media reactors in place of one filter sock, thoughts on this? That would contain a carbon bag and others you mentioned previously.
