Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
If you aren't keeping corals and do not plan to in the future. I would suggest looking through these fixtures

They aren't the best lights but they will be more than enough for a FOWLR, you can get a fixture thats rated 1w or less and...
I would go for a 6 stage if you're looking for drinking water too. first 3 stages would be your sediment filters, 4 stage would be the RO, 5th stage would be your di resin (tank), and 6th stage would be teed off from the output of the ro stage to a carbon filter to polish up any weird tastes.
agreed, I would say that the spectrapure design is more effective compared to the BRS design. If you already have the BRS dual reactor, a few fittings from Lowes or HD and a little elbow grease you can modify exactly like the spectra pure.
I like running my return on the low side too, usually just 3-5x the displays volume. I then just add powerheads in the display to kick up the flow on the display.
John, when I had my DB80 Frag tank running I only had a 300gph pump on there and that was also feeding the chiller! haha overflow...
I love Elos tanks and the small footprint of the overflows. I apologize for not having any input on the matter but I'm excited for this build. You did a fantastic job on the 45 build, I recall how everything was planned and very organized. Will be following along once you start your tale of the...

Anyone have a set they aren't using? lost mine during the upgrade. I contacted BRS already to see if they have spares but they do not. Let me know ! thanks!
I can trade a frag or cash!
I would take a look and see if an aqueon tank is still available in your petco. I believe some of them still have some backstock. Also go take a look at the tetra tank for yourself. I might not like them but you might, it's $29 so it's a great deal regardless. I just don't want you to get...
Grabbed one during the last $1 sale and using it as a sump. Honestly, it's horrible. I would only use it as a sump/qt and nothing else. The silicone job is very poor and the frame looks thicker. I haven't measured but I just can tell. I have a aqueon 40b that I was using for a frag tank and that...
