    AWI RO/DI unit

    I would just check the TDS. Do the Typhoons have an RO only tap? I would run it until the RO TDS gets down in the single digits. My Kent unit with 2 stages before the membrane gets down to 2 with a Filmtec 75gpd membrane. My tap water runs between 190 and 210. When you hit single digits, kick...

    Skimmer recomendations

    You may have to do more than blow into the air intake to cleanit out. That is what I was doing, but over time it clogged. Now I pull the strainer assembly off the pump and clean the air intake with a drill bit about once a month. I'm going to try the fishing line mod soon as well. I have mine...

    Feeding Corals

    Hey Sam, You are welcome to stop by for a demonstration. I feed my cyanaria, bubble and plate whole or half pieces of krill. I chop it smaller for the frogs and hammers and feed that as well as the mysis. The krill chunks I place on the feeders. The mysis is sprayed with a turkey baster...

    Scary Moment?

    So it's cold and snowing and we just got back from dinner. It seems just before we got home, somneone did a hit and run on the power pole across the street. P.S.E.&G. is here repairing the damage. We have still have power, but I can't help wondering what might happen tonight. And I do not own a...

    FYI - Blue Planet

    Well I'm an LPS guy so maybe I got my caps and efflos mixed up. All I know is I can get an grow caps easy; but everyone seems to be constantly begging for efflos and waiting forever for frags. So if I try something like this, caps it will be!

    FYI - Blue Planet

    Caught this show the other night. Awesome! The top down shots of the reefs made up of mostly caps makes me want to set a cap only tank up! Anyone ever try this? I picture several flat shelves of varying levels with a whole lot of caps on each one.

    Questions on Feeding and Nutrition

    Boy, I thought I was a heavy feeder! Carlo, I know you have a large tank, but how large is it? From Merv's comments it sounds like it's in the 300 gallon range. How much rock? Sand or no sand? I have the same question as John, tell us more about how you feed the frozen foods. My gut feel is...

    What size tank should i look to upgrade to?

    I'm with Merv and Gabe on a 75. And I have both a 75 and 55 and I would NOT recommend a 55. My thoughts: 4 ft is a great viewing sze, you can take almost the whole view in at once. The depth of a 75 works with VHO lighting, my preference. You don't have to get into the heat of halides and if...

    Sooo...How was your day?

    Chiming in! ;D Would we be discussing the KISS of death??? Sorry I haven't been posting, but I have been thinking and catching up I seem to have gone down all the same paths as the others. I'd be inclined to go with a sudden DO drop. The big tangs probably went first and started the chain...

    Sooo...How was your day?

    Honest Brian, I wasn't getting even for my Copper Band! Anything new in the last few days? Any changes to setup or additives? Very sorry to hear about your losses! It's a shame you can't frag fish easily. I know I'm thinking of taking a break from fish and focus on corals myself. I've lost...
