I ran both an MRC 2 and MRC 3 for four or so years.....the best skimmer I've ever run! It sounds like your air valve is crusted up with stuff. Common problem. Unscrew the valve and see if you can clear the buildup and if needed, soak in vinegar. I still have both my MRC's....you're...

3 1/2 - 4 hours. EDIT TO ADD: Just Mapquested from my house in Sayreville.....171 miles, 3 hours 31 minutes.

Thanks for sharing. I’d also swear that my two clowns bring food to the RBTA.

Well you’re about 40 miles away….it’s your call if you want to come down and pick up the tank. Let me know.

Mike, where are you located? I might have a 75 you could borrow. Paul

I have two that I just recently received (from my adult son) this past December. As far as I know these are full-grown at maybe a touch over 2 inch diameter. I can tell you that mine have not walked from their original locations they had when I got the rock. This surprised me with one that...

HAIR ALGAE Kevin, the Mexican Turbo has mowed down all the hair algae and, with the tank bare bottom, I’ve discovered what snail poo looks like…..little light brown pellets. NEW LIGHT That new light is phenomenal. What an improvement in quality over earlier Chinese fixtures….aluminum...

Excellent point Kevin. I wasn’t even thinking about that…..Doh!

Kevin, I totally agree with what you’ve said….high pressure for RO….low pressure for DI. I was just trying to save buying yet another pump by using the high pressure pump to send it through everything. I also agree...a lot of good stuff here. Also glad to see "The Nut" is going with a bubbler.

I say yellow. And if I’m fortunate enough to win, I’ll let this frag go to the second place winner. :encouragement:

One more thing……CO2 actually consumes the anionic resin (plucking out the carbonic acid ions.) So another reason to split the two resins….the cationic resin will not have to be regenerated that frequently. With all this said about regenerating, I still think your best bet is to bubble your...

LOL…..I’ll answer all four of your “one question.” One hour is more than enough….longer wouldn’t hurt it. It actually is simple chemistry. You have two exchange resins that are mixed together. You need to separate them to “clean” them up. You do this in the first step, where one...

HERE is the recipe for recharging the resin. Simply put, a little soak in sodium hydroxide….a little soak in hydrochloric acid….a little rinse in DI water…….and you’re ready to go. Both are readily found at Home Depot (or a pool store for the HCl) One note of caution; this author is a...
