Poly filter and Copper absorbant

No you only would do a good thing. Basically it got a good cleaning. Your waste water/good water should read between 4:1 to 6:1. You just ran it even higher. No damage just more waste water.

Get a Euroreef skimmer now and thank me later!

Euroreef.

Those ballasts don't get very hot but I'm sure over time it may increase the life of the ballast.

MonkeyBoy...that post wasn't for you and your DI system. I am talking about RO vs. RO/DI and you have DI. NOT!

Here's some scientific facts for you: 1. My water reads less than 1 on a TDS meter. (yours aint close) 2. Equivilant stage systems, Spectrapure produces better water than Kent. 3. My water is better for a reef tank than yours. Those are the facts!

I am the source. Do you know what chloromines are? It's Amonia and Chlorine. How do you remove all the amonia? I understand that they are all similar as far as fittings and housings go but it is the filters that make the difference. I guarantee that the RO membrane that Kent uses isn't as good...

Dude...you have no idea! First of all the DI is the one of the most important parts of the system. Second, Kents RO units suck. I have tested water from a friends system with a TDS meter and it was crazy high. I have a 5 stage double DI system from Spectrapure. My sediment filter is 1/2 micron...

Go to "Fish and other Ichthy Stuff" in Oldsmar. It is on the Tamp/Oldsmar line right off Tampa road. This is the best store in the Tampabay area as far as quality goes. This is the only place to get high quality SPS. The store is very clean and the fish/corals are very healthy. The owners name...

This includes four VHO actinics that come on an hour before and go off an hour after the halides.

Let jst say that I have 4 drains drilled and they are 2 - 1" drains and 2- 3/4" drains and thats just enough drainage for my 180g. I have an amp master 3000 pump. How much water do you want to flow thru your sump? I suggest you drill more than one hole. It sounds like you have enough room in...

Just one??? It better be big. I have a 180RR and I use all four hole as drains. (2 - 1" bulkheads and 2 - 3/4" bulkheads)

I like hellolights.com

I have a 180g with alot of LPS and now I have just started adding SPS. I would like to know if it necessary to have a calcium reactor. I have a kalkwasser top-off system and I also add B-Ionic. I never realized how many people use calcium reactors. What is the main reason for getting one. Is it...
