    300 Gallon upgrade

    Nice link, thanks. Those might work for my Apollo LED's also. I was originally looking at these though. If you keep shopping around, they have different cut lengths that go on sale occasionally and they're really cheap. Richie, I think the all black looks great. When the leds are setup and the...

    help planning

    If you're looking for advice on how to setup a sump... best advice I can give you is check out Melev's site. Tons of great ideas, as well as some plans on how to design your own. Hope that helps.

    February 2012 Meeting

    Man, I'm kinda bummed right now. I really wanted to make this meeting (as I did last time Mike and Nikki had one) but my nephew took first place in Districts and will be wrestling in the Regional tournament this weekend. It's sort of a big sport in our family and we all go to support our kids...

    Bustin' out of the Nano forum!!! Howze's 50b

    Wow, Bisquit is a cool looking lil bugger! The Eibli looks healthy and happy too. The goby is super cool. I love unique looking fish like that. Hope you do get to see him occasionally! Take pics whenever you can. ;)

    Safe Zones for Sharks and Coral Reefs... you can make a difference!

    As a member of Project Aware, I often get emails regarding topics of marine conservation. I thought I'd share the latest one I received, in hopes that some of you will help out by submitting a petition submission. Here's the email I received: If this type of thing interests you, it wouldn't...

    See the link in my last post (#87). Paul, is the skimmer still running ok?

    Conservation of Energy

    Paul that's great! If raising it makes it perform better, maybe you can build a short stand out of egg crate or PVC pipe?

    De-Ionization resins

    Don, if CO2 is your major issue, I'd say try to come up with a solution to remove it before you send it through your DI. I googled This that might help get you (or Paul) started on a workable idea. My first thought was just to boil the CO2 out. :undecided: Here's another link that suggests...

    My 75gl sps dream

    I'd like to suggest you refer to the chart in This Link. Try to keep your Alk / Cal intersection somewhere in the red block. If you don't, you're risking your fish and corals health.

    Found it! http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum/general-discussion/79074-mod-bubble-magus-nac7-cone-skimmer.html Maybe you can try that and get rid of the Atman pump(s) altogether?

    Things aren't going well for me today either Paul. First, I tried to copy my 1.4 GB mov file to my work's cloud drive. Well, it wouldn't even copy from my camera to my PC's hard drive, let alone let me add it to a network drive. Second, tried to see if the cloud drive is active anyway...

    Paul, I took a nice 4+ minute vid of my skimmer in action. Unfortunately, I have nowhere to upload the file because it's over 1GB, lol. We have a cloud drive at my work that our IT guy was supposed to be setting up. I'll try to copy it there tomorrow and try to link to it there. I'm not sure...

    I don't have enough posts on RC to see the classified sections. :( Assuming the SWC operates like my NAC7, you need to adjust the air based on the top of the bubbles level in the cone. Ideally, you want to set it so the bubbles are around a half-inch or so from the top right at startup. As...

    GE water filtration systems

    I agree with Paul. There are much better complete RO/DI units available for around the same price and can do up to 75 or 150 GPD. 11 GPD is way too slow unless you only have a nano tank. You could do what AJ was talking about, but you will need to factor in how much RO/DI you will need at a...

    LED colors

    I did a lot of internet searching on the same topic before I ended up just buying my Apollo LED's. From what I gathered, the 2 blue to 1 white ratio seems to be the most popular as a base to start with, then mixing a few other colors in. UV / Purples seem to cover a good part of what the RB/W...

    That's not good. Did you buy it as "used" or did they say it was new? Where did you find it, on RC?

    My biopellet reactor

    I have a maxijet 1200 on my TLF 150 reactor for my biopellets. At full power (ball valve all the way open) I have just the right amount of flow. I'm running about 750ml of pellets in it. If you're going to run that much or more in yours, I'd recommend getting an MJ 1200 instead of a 900. You...

    Quiet is good! I'm sure you'll love the skimmate production too. ;) By the way Paul, I think I found a good solution for connecting my led mounting studs to a cross beam in the canopy. I found these at Home Depot... 1/4" - 20 couplings. They aren't the exact same threading (actual on the...
