I actually ordered an Eheim 1260...it's should be here tomorrow (thanks, Premium Aquatics!)... I figured I'd pay a bit more for a quieter pump...and...
Well, the guy at the LFS was kind enough to open up a brand new MAG7 so I could look inside, and sure enough the misaligned impeller had worn the...
I'll see if the LFS has an impeller for less than the cost of a new pump online. It's plugged into a regular grounded power strip, no GFI.
All the pieces are in place and I gave the pump a thorough rinsing and brushed it out. I'll try to soak the impeller in vinegar, though I saw no...
Hi all- It's been a REAL long time since I've been on the forum, mainly since everything in my tank has been doing just fine. But two weeks ago we...
I followed Amcarrig's always incredible advice and went over to Buckeye Field Supply to look for a new membrane. They didn't have any 35 gpd's like...
Alright, a yellow flow restrictor means 35gpd. But if you take the time to take the membrane out it's also written on the side of it in big letters....
Excellent! Thanks much for the info! I just called Kent Marine and flow rate is determined by the color of the flow restrictor on the waste line....
My RO unit actually has an inline meter, I just haven't bothered turning the thing on in a few months. Oops. I'm confused. Are you saying that...
Guess I'll have to give Kent a call to check on the gpd and order a new membrane. Does anyone know how often they recommend replacing each of the...
All very good information and all greatly appreciated. But, GAH membranes aren't cheap...and how do I figure out how many gpd the unit is rated...
One more note (if it helps w/ diagnosing the problem): when i disconnected the input line from the sink adapter there was quite a bit of backflow....
TDS: 142 in, 54 out. (that's assuming that the meter on the unit works...i have no idea what values i should be looking for) Do you mean valves on...
Hi all...long time, no post... Things have been going fine with my reef...I actually picked up a couple frags when I brought in some BTA to my...
I've heard the Novas have loud fans. True story???
Ah, but you forget where I live... ;) I was told that if it was just a plain "brown" color that they wouldn't be able to sell it, but might be able...
congrats! i started off with one small BTA 2 years ago and now i have SIX in my 20 gallon tank. i really need to try to find a fellow reefer to...
I'm no expert on light intensity, but I believe that a sudden increase in intensity can be a problem. Some folks recommend placing layers of nylon...
I don't have the lights, but I'm considering the 4x24" for my 20 gallon tank. The reviews I've read have commented on the loud fans. Does anyone...
Oh that...yeah, I had tried that and a piece of foam carved to the shape of the chamber before when the tank was in my bedroom. I didn't notice a...
