    Need help leaking bulkhead

    If you can remove the bulkhead and clean the glass around the hole. Also just to be sure the gasket always goes on the inside (where the water is). Tighten the bulkhead as tight as you can by hand and then only 1/4-1/2 turn with a wrench. Over tightening can lead to leaks too

    BRS doser air bubbles

    When the dosing pump is not running the liquid in the tube may be "falling" back to the reservoir and when the pump comes back on the air that's now in the tube may be getting pulled through the punp

    Group Coral Growout

    I agree as well. The frags are bought and paid for so the owner can do whatever they would like to do with them. The colonies are "the groups" si they should remain with the group

    Deep Blue Frag Tanks

    I have the deep blue 30g rimless frag tank and I really like it. I have had it up and running for about 2 years now without a problem. If you end up going with a deep blue make sure to buy new bulkheads. The ones they come with are very cheap and brittle and also have "barbs" for poly pipe and...

    BIOPELLETS & PH Swings

    Thanks Jim. One more question and I will stop derailing Edwin's thread. My ATO is the avast marine one and is hooked up to a small powerhead which sends the water to the sump. It's a small tank (about 45 total gallons) and I evaporate about 5g a week. Should I be concerned about a pH spike...

    Flood prevention when power goes out?

    There are a few methods to help reduce the amount of water going back to the sump when the power is out. First is a check valve. This is a one way valve that will let water flow through but not back. Second is a siphon break which is a small hole drilled into the underside of the 90 that your...

    Reef Octopus SRO XP1000 Space Saver Protein Skimmer

    This can be a common problem with the Venturi on any skimmer. I recommend cleaning all pumps about 2 times per year to keep them functioning properly. I will usually run my skimmer pump in a bucket of vinegar and hot water for 1/2 hour to an hour and then disassemble and clean. I do this for...
