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.

frankly the one thing i use the most on my rodi is the handheld tds meter. it's a bit scary to see what water is really like at work, at school, at home etc.
i have no experience with the extreme or the 5 stage. Only the typhoon 3 (same one vangvace has). I have no complaints about it. It's a...

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share with you and the club our research, and the Academy's efforts towards the conservation of the...
Without going into detail - the front page of their reefkeeping site says this:
The Basic Typhoon has everything you need to make RODI water.
The Typhoon III adds a DI bypass assembly, an RO only valve, a membrane fast flush valve and comes with a HM DIgital hand-held TDS Meter ($60 more...
GREAT STUFF is the product name - it's mentioned by delbeek/sprung in the Reef Aquarium Vol 3 (great read - get it if you don't have it).
While you will not need as much LR (because of the foam background) - you will still need some to help seed the foam.
I honestly don't recall reading about...
I agree with bax. If you are deciding between a 150 and a 180 - I'd go 180 easily. A 150 is just a 125 - but taller. A 120 and a 180 offers 24 inches front to back depth which is superb for aquascaping.
If my wife allowed it - I would have loved a 180. That stated, I think a tech series 120 would be really nice.
when you say the size is overwhelming - how so? that it's 6 feet long? I mean if you take a regular non-rr 180 and compare it to a 120RR with a 40 gallon sump - the difference is...
i'm afraid I'm stumped. I'm going to hazard a guess that the fish wasn't doing well anyways and the damage to the head was after the fact rather than the cause of it's demise.
another wild guess is that the wrasse somehow burrowed into the pistol's burrow and took a pistol snap in the face. It...
this is one of the down-sides in my opinion on the hob fuge. The only thing I can think of is (assuming you have a canopy) - you could just DIY and place some styrofoam or similar material to block the light from entering your tank.
This is a good read:

Before you get into the advanced stuff - I would encourage that you consider investing in a refractormeter.
In my opinion not having a $20 refractometer is like driving at night without headlights. You might be on...
kinda depends on the size of the tank - but yes small powerheads are known to put heat into the tank. The exceptions are the high-end ones like tunze/vortech.
the ocean is (sadly) a vast dumping ground (sometimes intentional) around the world. The question is - the section of water you plan on getting water from - is it the same or does it carry with it high nitrates (from farm run-off)?
So my point would be if you are going to go this route - might...
