    Where can I find extra 1/4" water line for my RO unit?

    I bought an RO unit off of eBay. It works good, but I'd really like to get some extra water line for it. It took so long to get everything from the eBayer, that I'd rather not go back to them and even ask, but I'm not seeing it from anyone else either. Anybody know where I can pick some of...

    Exact dimensions for 75g

    Hi all. I'm going to upgrade from my 55 to a 75g. That means I need to build a new stand and hood. So, a while back I took a trip to the LFS with my tape measure. It seems I measured it as being 48 1/8" x 18 1/8" but I can't find where I wrote it down. last time I was in there, they didn't...

    RO Question: Good vs. Waste Water

    Hi all. I hooked up my new RO unit today and am putting it through it's paces (Checking for leaks, flushing everything out). I let it run for a while and collected the good and waste water in identical containers. I found that I'm running about 2.5 times more waste water than good. Is that...

    Is there a way to "unwatch" all posts?

    I seem to have a bunch of posts that I've "watched" while a member of AA. Is there a way to "unwatch" all them in mass, or do I have to do them one at a time? Thanks! Jeff

    Aqua C Urchin vs Red Sea Berlin Turbo Classic

    Any thoughts. I know many seem to prefer the Urchin/Remora, but can anyone weigh in on the Red Sea? How hard are they to set up/ maintain vs the AquaC, etc? Those are the two I'm looking at currently. Oh, and they will be put into use on a 55 or 75 gal aquarium (depends how much money I have...

    AquaC Urchin with Rio or Mag?

    I've decided to go with an Urchin Pro for my sump. Captive Reefs sells it with a Mag 3 and Marine Depot sells it with a Rio 1400. Anyone have any preferences one way or the other?

    I have copper plumbing

    I just moved back in April and now have the room to set up my tank as a FOWLR. Eventually I would like to have some inverts. All I read about is that copper is deadly to inverts. Will my copper water lines cause me a problem? I was planning on using a "Tap Water Purifier" for the time being...

    workhorse vs. longhorse ballast

    Per someone's suggestion here, I started to check out the Fulham line of ballasts. I was originally looking at the Workhorse line. It looked like the 7 could easily handle 2 96w PC bulbs. However, the workhorse line where "in fixture" type ballasts. I see they also have the longhorse ballast...

    "U" vs "C" overflows

    I'm working on getting a 55g FOWLR going and I'm in the market for an overflow. I've been looking at the C type overflows because they seem to have a higher capacity in a smaller package. But, I just read somewhere that they don't maintain their siphon well. Is this true? Can you guys share...

    Anyone heard of Pet Supply Liquidator?

    I ran across this company and they are selling fairly inexpensive PC/ballast combos. One of the names they gave me was Catalina Aquarium. Anyone heard of this company and or their products?

    yet another lighting question

    If I were able to find a "used" Aqualight 4x65 hood, would I be able to turn it into a retro-fit kit of sorts? I'm not afraid of doing some wiring. Has anyone dug into one of these to see if the components are movable so I could remotely mount the ballasts? Thanks in advance!

    55w or 96w PC for a 55g

    I'm in the process of setting up a 55g FOWLR. I've got the tank, I'm building the stand and hood. I plan on having an old 20g as a sump. Right now, I'm trying to decide what/how much light I need. I've pretty much decided on PC. In some other post I found a link to HelloLights.com. They...

    My attempt at a 55g GARF stand

    Tonight I finished the frame of my GARF stand. Most of the lumber came from a stand I came across that was for a much larger tank. It feels sturdy, looks good. I just need to sheet it now and life is good. But, here's my problem. I want to put a 20g tank in the bottom as a sump. So, I made...
