The nozzles are at the waters edge…no splashing, but good surface turbulence. I have no check valves, but I do have siphon brakes If you look closely where the Loc-Line meets the tee/elbows, you will see a coupling in there that has a short piece of tubing that goes just below the waterline...

I used rigid PVC pipe and fittings for all my return lines, which end at Loc-Line. The single pipe comes up to the top edge of the tank, elbows and then tees at the edge….One tee branch going left, the other right. On each of these branches there is a tee in the middle and an elbow at the...

A pH bulkhead is a bulkhead that holds a pH probe. Too many of us just suspend their probes into their sump. The problem with that is that they eventually fall into the sump, getting submerged. Once this happens, the probe is shot…no good…trash. To stop this from happening, I installed this...

Someone spent too much time in front of the TV, or either is the proud owner of The Official Batman Onomatopoeia Dictionary. Have we hijacked this thread long enough, or should we keep on going? 12 inch joists with a 90 gallon tank running perpendicular to said joists, with said tank...

Yea, but his wife would be questioning the presence of a pre-pubescent teen hanging around the house in a Robin outfit constantly saying, “Golly gee wiz Batman,” and Alfred, the English butler, incessantly feather-dusting that darn bookshelf.

Any JBJ 24 or 28 hood, with either HQI, compact fluorescents or LEDs are interchangeable, and will fit both the 24 and 28 gallon tanks.. Note that the HQI puts out the heat and you will need a chiller.

As Bax pointed out, determine the necessary basics first…..skimmer size and location (and make sure, if internal, you have the space under the stand so that it will fit); and also the return pump…internal and external. The next consideration is your plumbing. Decide if you want to split off...

I’ve never had the problem, but I would begin with housekeeping….get the nitrates and phosphates as low as possible. …..Multiple water changes, heavy skimming, using a phosphate remover, etc. Hopefully others will chime in who have direct experience. I know some have used very high magnesium...

Need a better picture….but through the fuzziness, my first guess would be bryopsis. HERE’s a link to the different algae we may see.

Happy Father’s Day everyone! As I finish up making my own breakfast, the comparison I heard of Mother’s Day to Father’s Day begins to sink in. On Mother’s Day, we get up and fix her breakfast, wait on her all day while she sits on her thrown, and finish up the day taking her out to dinner...

It’s called marketing! Brand it; give it a fancy name; charge mucho bucks!

+1 Good stuff Brian….I think my pea-brain is starting to understand, but it hurts. So those of use who run their RO/DI water directly into a drum/bottle/bucket, these pumps would do nothing for us. However, if you have an RO/(DI) unit that also uses a pressurized holding tank, this pump...
