Well, it seems you have the advice you require already – and I strongly suggest you follow Tangster, the coil is cheap and effective. Did you...
True, but I don;t think he would want to do this if he has live rock and his first post said "LR" -- granted, that very well may mean base rock.
Agreed mostly, I think 2in10 meant to say it the other way around - anywho, do not add add sand before your rock. You want the rock on the glass and...
As noted, hair algae has three main components, Light, Phosphates and Nitrates. Often times when testing for these during an outbreak you test a...
I have used Danner pumps for years, as noted above they should be quiet and reliable for years on end. Try the pad as suggested. Too small a...
Hi Luna, no I am sorry I was not questioning the calculation of head loss. But rather the GPH on his drain, if he is using 1.5” drains and his...
You can go larger as it's not going to hurt anything. However, now is probably the time to cut back the pump a touch (should not require anything...
Yes, you are on the right track. Drill the hole at the top larger and see the result. You should still calculate the actual head pressure loss, you...
My toadstool does this from time to time, tho I have not seen anyone picking at it. a section will remain closed, such as your photo and the rest...
Your anemone is more than likely fine – I suspect you caught him going potty. His mouth is also his anus and he was probably doing a water change –...
Skimmers need to run a bit to break in and then the produce better. I am not sure of your skimmer type, is it adjustable? If it is you can cut it...
Well, the pump is 1344 gph and your head loss is going to drop it into the 900’s I would guess. Look up the chart for head pressure for your pump...
OK, as usual I am a tad confused. Are you delivering water to two places? One being the refugium and the other being the skimmer? Per your...
I googled your pump, Iwaki MD-40RXT – 1,344 per hour (advertised at 22.4 GPM on the iwaki web site) so I assume you have calculated your head loss...
one overflow or two ? I'd guess that the overflow you pictured above can 850. is that 1100 after HP ?
I'd try a larger hole first as it would not do any harm to the end result. Getting the desired effect by cutting back the turn over as it may be a...
Moonlights are suppose to be on when you want them on as they are for your benefit. I run mine all night :-)
Back to Luna's question - do you have a vent hole at the top? you are getting a flushing effect because of air build up and your plumbing looks good.
Luna – excellent and informative post ! My interpretation was that the curve was to the inside and we simply can not see it in the video. I...
