new store hours 12-8 (thanks david!)

yes - and as usual the tank is beautiful!!

yeah - I read the gauge wrong. The black is kg/cm2. I read the black...the red is psi and at 70 - which I think is still low I guess.

in terms of the fug - I think you want it not too fast as you want a chance for the pods and such to reproduce. But you also don't want it too slow so that cyano gets a chance to grow. This was a pet peeve of mine with the hob refugiums - I always felt the pump was underpowered. In other words...

you're selling the 120?! that is an amazing unit you built for it too! anyways - when you get a chance - repost the pics...they didn't come thru.

thanks! I did find the DI bypass - but that was on the closed position. But reading page 3 of the instructions (duh) - I found what I was looking for: "4. it is normal for the DI cartridge not to fill with water. Some have only an inch of water in the sump. This has no impact on the water...

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) Lol... Also recently arrived...the dj panels: Now I do have an RODI question - which I posted here: AWI Typhoon 3 question Basically - i don't get why "pure water" is coming out but my DI is not filling up with water. I say "pure...

I've got an email out to awi - but figured i'd ask here. Well thanks to Blange3 and coordinating the awi group buy - i picked up the little hosey thing to hook up to my sink. I was scared to pierce my pipe so I like this hosey thing a lot. A couple snips of the included white tubing and I had...

I just want to say that I am a blind dummy for not reading your original post more closely. :P ::) I agree - the aqua C is probably one of the favorites in terms of hang on the back skimmers. I used to have a 55 and had a sump with an aqua c ev 120 (was hoping to upgrade to a bigger tank). But...

the scape looks good - I like how you mounted the cap on the upper left there - looks nice!

WELCOME TO NJRC! A slow build is the way to go!! nothing good in this hobby comes fast...and anything good - takes time. I'm sure I am mis-quoting that but I recall reading that in Bob Fenner's book. Is your bro or dad going to be also involved in the tank? If so - you could get a family...

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) yep already drilled. I read to put in a small one first and if there is still a gurgling sounds to increase the size of the hole (or put an airline in). I'm totally new at this so we shall see when water is added....(fingers crossed).

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) some boring plumbing photos. Whoever said this was easy has never met me - the man with ZERO DIY skills. Took me a while but I figured out the durso pipes:

ebay or if you can get a group of people to order - it's 15% off: salt group buy or I guess just ask gary in his forum.

if you meet lori - ask her to sell me a few. ;) ;D ;D

looking good....you got hermits in there? I see a whole lot of empty shells on the ground there.

NICE! what kind of fish are those - they look interesting!

LOL MR wasn't a vendor at our swap. ;D

on the high alk/high calc question - sorry to do this to you - but as I don't want to pretend I am an expert here - I am just passing along info for you to read. ;) http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/nov2002/chem.htm Same author - different topic. I think you're in zone 4.

no worries. ;D ;D ;D But back to your original question - I personally think it should be fine. I forgot an old trick to try out. Take a cup of water - measure the PH - then vigorously stir it/(even better add an airstone). Then test it again. if the pH goes up - your tank has too much...
