It is SPRING water...water that has passed through the ground picking up minerals. You would expect to find a relatively high tds reading because of all those good minerals. If you are going to use you unit for drinking, tap off the RO unit only. You might also what to install a carbon filter...

Believe me, it was nothing. Having been responsible for group buys for soccer referees and having 8000 dollars worth of equipment in my living room, dining room and kitchen, I know that the thanks first need to go to Federica Wohler for putting up with all this stuff all over the house and...

Hey Kason, looking good. We used a Mag 9.5 on our 46.

Home Depot and Lowe's sells saddle valves.  Commonly used, not only for RO units, but for ice makers on refrigerators. Just so we're clear, this is what I'm talking about:

If you use acrylic (or other plastic like polycarbonate), I would say that you want at least ¼ inch for the reasons you have pointed out. If you go with glass, you could get away with 1/8 inch, especially in a 55 that is only 12 inches wide (I think). By the way, glass is probably the cheaper...

I have to work but would be available around 5PM

Well it’s under “Red Sand,” so I’m assuming they are talking about Feng.

Déjà vu chemistry lab class. That’s the black stuff covering most chemistry and biology lab benches. You do realize it does require oil rubs every so often to maintain that shiny surface. Anyway, there’s a soapstone place up in Hackensack. I’m sure if you google soapstone and Hackensack, you’ll...

Got-R-Fixed...thanks Pan. It appears one of the bulbs was slightly twisted, not making contact. Whew!

Just transferred from the 46g bowfront to the new 90g tank and moved the lights over. Lights were working fine on the 46. The lights are a retrofit IceCap 660 running four, 4 foot t-5’s. When we go to turn on the lights, they come on for a split second and then go off. What’s wrong?

Zoysia does just fine in NJ…if you want that look. It will overgrow almost anything…and yes, it dies back on the first frost, turning tan/brown. One word of caution, it is a broad leaf grass and weed killers, like weed-be-gone (sp?), will kill Zoysia as well.

Great meeting! As usual, the food was plentiful and fantastic. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Wohler for opening up your home to a bunch of reefer geeks. The talk by Dr. Vagelli was also very interesting. I am willing and ready to volunteer to be his cabin boy on his next expedition to the Banggai...

After spending a week down in North Carolina, we finally finished up the plumbing on the back of the tank. Onefish usually updates this build, but he so wants to get this build up and running, he is in the process of filling the tank as I type. So here’s the finished plumbing on the back of the...

I’d normally answer your question but it’s too dark in here!

Sam, I just saw this now. If you haven’t move the tank yet and need help tomorrow (Sumday), I’m available any time after 3PM. Just let me know.

The foam is either polystyrene, polyurethane, polyisocyanurate or a mixture of these. If it comes in a can, the likelihood are the last two, and most likely just polyurethane. There is a gas that gets entrapped in the closed cells or the foam that will outgas over time, but the release is sooooo...

Come on! You’re using your skimmer to brew coffee. ;D A little cream for me please.

That’s some fish cam! When I tuned in I found this little guppy swing a 9 mil. I promise, I won’t look here again

The stand looks great. Nice job! How do you like the weight of that thing? We just did one for a 90 and skinned it with ½ ply...it weighs a ton. Your skin looks pretty nice. What did you use?

You could put a strainer on the bulkhead going to the pump. Or, if you have an in sump pump, on the pump. Here are examples of strainers: http://www.glass-holes.com/category.sc?categoryId=22
