Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) I see someone is padding again.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D What can I say - I was an ignorant NY guy with great NY water. All of this RODI stuff is new to me! ;D

Don't put the magnet directly on the sand - try it thru the bag first - see if the magnet sticks to the bag. My mag float "kinda" stuck to the bag. When I dropped the tunze 6200 magnet (the super strong ones) - it attracted the black sand like a science project. I still like the look though -...

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) astute you are! I re-checked the numbers today and I must've had a contaminated sample. Water in: 345 RO: 25 RODO: 0 Is 25 still too high? I will do another test and try and get an average out of the RO. Well - it's in the tank...

honestly i'm not sure - the distance of the pump inside the stand also impacts how much water it can push. I guess by the time the water goes all the way up to the top of the tank, you're looking at least 6 feet - so with that much head - yeah now that i think of it a 1262 might be perfect...

That's interesting that the stand was not designed to accomodate the corner overflow. Oh - I guess the stand is made by AGA right? that makes sense the AGA's all have the overflows off-center. If Taz is right, then if they are slip connections - then the only thing you can do (if you really...

agree with ed. If you can't make your own RODI - you'll have to rely on purchasing water from the LFS. in terms of planning - fish wise I think a clown is neat and even better that you can get them captive/bred/tank raised. Then depending on the size of the tank you might be able to add say...

Re: Here's my 120 bax - i can't have your 120 thread as one of my inspirations if you're not updating it!!! ;D

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. and for post 901...we want a FTS! Quit helping the club so much with GB's and post some pics on your thread already. ;D ;D (i jest...help the club AND post pics!!).

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) Oh - some minor journal updates: Water before RO: 345 Water after RO: 112 Water after DI: 0 I have a feeling though I'll be changing the membrane and DI frequently given how lousy the water in this town is. I was telling MAVL this -...

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) I have one bag left - I took my reefgadget mag float out and took a pic...you can see how the mag float is "stuck" on the bag. I wonder if the bags of sand were somehow kept near a magnet for a long time and the minerals in the bag...

you could scan the nano forum further down....there are various threads there of different tanks with pics.

when I started - I used a 29gallon connected to a state of the art (sarcasm) wet dry filter. It also had a state of the art (sarcasm) underwater gravel filter! These days though - the new all-in-one tanks are pretty amazing and while I have no experience with them - I think that would be the...

yes - if it's going straight down into your stand - that would work. At longer lengths (4 feet) I find the flex starts to curve and kink in strange ways. curious...in the first pic - it looks like someone cut/broke something from the frame there under the overflow....what happened?

nice!! I made all the mistakes myself with the plumbing. If I knew beer could bring experts into the fold I would have done that instead!!!!

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) I just wanted some black sand as I saw rehype's set up (though he had that cool zero edge). Anyways - it was black friday and Wil had a bunch of these in stock. http://www.livesand.com/ Grain size: 0.5-1.5mm Premium Live®...

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) Hey - did anyone know that black sand has metallic particles that are attracted to the Tunze 6200 magnets???!!?!? I dropped a magnet in the sandbed and what a mess. :P oh i forgot to update - black friday - purchased 100 pounds of...

i love pnoy's threads...it's like eye candy. ;D The blotchys are so cool. I read that they are a deep water species from japan? do they hide a lot?

cool photo and agree. They hitch in a lot and supposedly captive breed relatively easily in tanks. You could buy more from a place like ipsf.com if you wanted to.

brine shrimp = popcorn. Don't use it all the time. seaclone skimmer = horrible. Better off just doing water changes or looking for a new skimmer.
