    I am going to buy either a litermeter III or a GEO 612 calcium reactor with a reef fanatic regulator and CO2 tank. What are the advantages and disadvantages of both? Is a calcium reactor better than a doser?

    Dealing with micro bubbles

    I too have tiny particles that look like bubbles. I run a cannister filter and a skimmer. Also have a 40g sump for a 120g tank. How can I get rid of them. Also, Scoot, not to change the subject but is your skimmer producing lots of skimmate or was it hard dialing it in?

    rinsing activate carbon bag

    How much must you rinse out a bag of carbon before using? Do you rinse until the water is no longer black or do you only rinse for a few seconds to remove any dust from the bag?

    Megaflow overflow

    I have a megaflow overflow and am having problems plumbing the drain with PVC. I have not been able to find a connector to fit the provided bulkhead. I've connected 1" and 1 1/4" Flex PVC to the bulkhead and both have leaked (Note, Flex PVC does not screw on). I attributed it to the fact that...

    Increasing water flow without a closed loop

    Another question. I believe the model you're referring to is the Nano stream 6045. The ad states "For aquariums from 26-53gal". I have a 125g tank. Does this mean I cannot use this product? What does the statement mean?

    Increasing water flow without a closed loop

    That's it. I need high flow. I have the mag 18 on the sump and it is not too loud. The 24 is. I've invested a lot of time in the closed loop. At this point I want to get my tank up and running. Also, the tank will be placed against the wall and the pipes run in the back of the tank. I have to...

    Increasing water flow without a closed loop

    I modeled the closed loop on melevsreef.com though i didn't add the scwd as it would have impeded the gph I intended to reach. The system was primed as outlined on melevsreef.com and the pump comes with a stick on pad. It didn't help so I sat the pump on a mouse pad to no avail. The link you...

    The pump is too heavy and thin on its side. I tried but it just tips over. I have ditched the idea of using this pump. too loud. See my other post in equipment forum.

    Increasing water flow without a closed loop

    I have just finished installing a closed loop and found that the mag 24 pump I'm using is just too loud. There is no way I can live with this noise. I have to turn my television almost all the way up to hear it. And to think it has only be running for a little over 1/2 hour. Now I'm looking for...

    plumbing/placing a mag 24

    I have a mag 24 that I plan to run externally. Can I place the pump on its side so that the return is facing upward? If not then I wold have to attach a female adapter to the outlet and then an elbow to run the water up. I'd rather not connect the extra elbow if not necessary.

    Do I need another pump for uv

    I have a pump for the skimmer, a return pump and another pump connected to a closed loop. I want to get a 25w UV and possibly a filter for GAC or purigen. Is there a way I can connect the uv and filter without purchasing and/or using another pump?

    plumbing - flex pipe and pvc

    Can I connect flex pipe and pvc? I am setting up a closed loop with the returns going over the top as opposed to drilling the back of the tank. I was wondering if I could use flex pipe as the return and possibly connect it to pvc piping. I hope to connect pvc to the pump, then connect flex to...

    Wiring VHO end cap question

    I have a retrofit vho kit and have a question regarding wiring of the end caps. The end caps have a rubber piece on the bottom and both are connected by two screws. The two screws then connect the end cap to the plastic mount which is then screwed into the canopy, fixture, or wooden blocks with...
