Well gave BRS a call and they dont do part sales. Any one know of another place that i could turn to?

sry for dbl post. It seems the OTP-2000 was the original pump for the skimmer. If i order a replacement pump will it come with the necessary air intake port for the skimmer?

So im getting back into the game and i need to find a replacement to the reef Octopus nw-150. I took it aart after seeing no circulation and my wheel is broke in a few places, the little nub is missing to hold the prop on, and the air intake nozzel(best i could describe) is broken. Im sure its...

well i work at a local lowes Ive just never stopped to look at all the pvc fittings we have. I'm usually outside with all the plants. no time to go clear across the store to see what we got

im interested in how you disconnect your supply line/mesh from your piping. without turning your pipe. curious as to what that connection is called you used.thinking about making one similar to yours.

+1 with above. if you place the pump after all three filters then your pump is gunna run dry. wont have enough flow from your filters to keep up to its output.

agreed. ^ i got the dual switch cccapt suggested in anoter thread and is a solid build. double redundancy never hurts or you can just use the singe switch that's alittle cheaper. I have mine connected to an old salt bucket with ~4 gallons of water and does a wonderful job. Pump dosnt have to...

im in need of something that shifts but doesn't burrow. then i just need to find a away so it dont get picked on by the mean 3

do all watchmen gobys perch? im trying to find something to go through my sand that wont make tunnels as i didn't set my rock on the bottom of the tank.

i had this issue when I didnt have enough surface agitation. Solved by having either a PH pointed towards the surface or an overflow box. btw you'll want more LR. recomended is 1-1.5lbs per gallon.

yep. Its part of its decomposing stages.. you prolly coulda been fine with 1 shrimp in the tank instead of 3. Id leave it in their for another week and take them out then, just to make sure there's enough decomposition of the shrimp. If you want to take it out now your more than able to...

+1 on them being that they are hard to kill. I lost my main colony due to some uncured caulk cause my tank to crash along with all my corals. Suddenly about a week ago I noticed a small nub of a kenya tree growing. The crash happened back in may. Don't give up hope yet. When i had my Kenya...

2nd and 3rd look like some sort of anthia(sp?) or xenia

There's some at Lowe's ie. 560gph (or so) with a max head height of 14.1ft. for 64dollars and change. ( i work there in the garden center and spend alot of time reading those things for the aquaria sake) i believe there is another around the 720gph for around 80-90 but im not sure.

This stuff is a killer if not cured long enough. i rushed a new sump design and put it in b4 a week long trip. came back to death. all my corals were dead and 2-3 fish died. The Ethanol and ammonia released wiped my tank. Keep doing some more pwcs incase you still have some of that in your...

Many of us actually lean rocks against the back of the tank. You can still create caves\run-through. just takes trial and error to create it how you want it. i find that long skinny ones work best when creating swimming behind the rock work

Well it all depends on the brand. Of course the 12k bulb is going to have a little bit blue tint than the 10k bulb. You'll just have to look at the spectrum of each bulb to see which one you like the most. What some do is get a lower kelvin bulb (10k)and get an acintic bulb to give it the...

Well if its anything like a mogul based bulb, then that needs a change soon. The longest mogul bulb ive seen to keep its color output in our range is 9 or so months. but i wouldnt consider it to make that big of a problem that fast in such a short time period

Agreed. just started putting mini frags into my 10gal 6bllue 6 white cree led tank and man they been opening up. Thinking about taking the crabs back out as they keep running over my newly acquired zoa frags. hopefully they'll pick it clean here soon so they stop.

And by freshwater you mean RO water or Preferably RODI water. That has been warmed to the correct temp. Yep

Goodjob on the build. i just recently aswell just finished my 10gal led build. m looking for a controller so i can have the blue string come on an hour before the whites and go off an hour after. Anyone have a controller like this or would it just be easier to just build 2 LV timers

its a different Manu. but same V and amps as well as termials. Says 3rd terminal is indeed a ground. Can i rely on an outside manufacturer to be somewhat the same to mine? http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_2094864_-1

I thought it would have, but it didnt. i looked at the MPJa website for a PDF manual but still no luck

thats what thought. just wanted to have a 2nd opinion What does the FG terminal refer to?

So ive finally got all my supplies in. 2 1000ma buckpucks with controllers. 6 White cree's 6 blue cree's and 1 24v 6.5amp psu Now im not familure with this kind of PSU setup Im going to assume L and N are + - from the wall and the V+ and V- are to run the buck pucks on different strings...
