I had the same issues with the Typoon III unit. Got the new membrance, but issue remained. Your DI will used up very fast and on my unit, my RO/DI water smells after a week. I returned my TYPIII and refund my money. What drive me to returned the unit is also partly due to Walter at Airwaterice...

GatorF; You definitely can get a piece of that separately. Originally, I thought you are asking about the Cover I did to cover the Overflow to prevent the light getting into the overflow.

I do agree that it is probably not the topoff. It is back to 8.2 during light on and 8.1 during light off. I am still curious why occasionally, thing will just be out of the norm for no apparent reason, granted that this is a big tank that should have less flunctuation. I did test calcium =...

Sati: Thanks. My YT just passed away. :( Current plan will be continue to stock the corals and will add fish after finish adding the corals. For some reason syesterday, my pH drop from 8.1 to 7.8 in a matter of 4 hours when the light is turned on. I do not know what happened that causes...

this really hurts. Revhtree, there is nothng you can do to save this from happening, so don't blame yourself too much. We can help you to bring back the tank again. At least your fish survived. My thinking is that it is something in the air. Did someone spray something around the tanks? Do you...

Most often than not, the LR is leeching out phosphate to fuel it. Is this tank a dsb tank?

ellisz: Do you have the same setup as mine such that the endcap is close to the MH? Yes, I tried the Garlic thing. In fact it is the first thing I tried, but no results. It is nibbling at the rocks all the time though. I am considering to let HA grow in the tank to feed the YT.

You mean a full shot of the front? I tried before, but the problem I have is that I have to stand so far away to get the full tank shot that the object in the tank become so small. Unless I figure out a way to merge 2 pics together to form a panaromic pics. Anyone have any ideas??

jcarl: I did file a complaint against BBB. The part that make me most mad is that this contractor is recommendated by the Chicago Council of Carpenters, a supposely renowned council. Later found out that the contractor that they recommend does not even have a permanent residency!!! I file a...

jcarlilesiu: I check back a few times and did not see any other people posting this, so I thought maybe people are not interested in this thread anymore. Anyway, thanks for posting. Yes, I am sad to realize that many people has gone through the same experience as I do with contractors. I do have...

Matt: Thanks TeemR; Thanks I am slowly stocking up my tank at this moment. Stop by a LFS yesterday and could not resist and brought a Ultra Crocea clam. Nice color. I know, I know, this thread need more pics, I will try to get a pic of my new clam tonight.

A pic on my YT. This is the new YT I had for the past 3months. My 1st YT died after I ahve it for 1.5year or so. Added Acropora SPS frag from another reefer. Didn't have change to take a pic.

:thumb: nice. are you still planning an In Wall tank?

Have the Ph back to 8.0 during light on and 7.5 during light off. Will continue to add Kalk to improve it. I have no death snail for the past 3 days. Another improvement. :wink: I also place a fan to blow at my sump and was able to lower the temp from 82F to 80F. Another issue fix :) . Used...

I am running BB tank on my 180g, though not 100% since I use a starboard. See my thread. I have no regret. Advantage: 1. A lot less maintanance. I used to have sand bed, and in comparison, I do less siphoing now. 2. Related to #1, you can have good flow in your tank without the sand...
