Here is a primer for you. http://www.3reef.com/forums/reef-aquarium-articles-how-tos/all-about-sumps-filters-fuges-79852.html
It is my understanding PH is not everything. That stability is more important than actual number. CO2 seems to be the most likely culprit. There...
GFO and GAC. No RO/DI yet.
Got it, I can see the strainer now. Still, don't worry about the elbow. Here is the reasoning of the original design if you did not read it. The...
Here's mine. All broke in and un new. Went from this... [IMG] To this.... [IMG]
Well good day today. Got my big BRS shipment in. Got another reactor, got all my chems and GAC and GFO. Here is my new setup. [IMG] Got a Mag 5 to...
Barb fittings really neck down inside and restrict flow. I would straight pipe everything. Especially the emergency... you want it to flow as much...
Actually, now that you mention it, it might even effect the substrate in a negative way. If convection is carrying heat up, it might not do the job...
It effects it in a good way. Lower level equals less suction head pressure on the pump, equals less flow, which means the level in the overflow drops...
I agree with the above. Placing the pads under the tank would not be very good. If you placed the pads on the back glass, that would be better cause...
Right. No effect. But you do need a consistent water level in the return section. That is where my ATO is. When the water level varies in the return...
I got a big order from BRS and some work to do to mine today. I'll post up later.
Awsome. Getting close.
What kind of skimmer do you have?
So are you doing a full Herbie? The three holes rock. There is no need at all to make the stand pipes adjustable. That is what the gate valve is...
Nice. Keep us posted.
So one thing that is mentioned often is the need for kalk water for PH control and supplementation. How many of you that use reactors dose kalk water...
With my house closed up, my PH is low. Thought maybe I don't have enough air exchange in my closet. I ran a tube outside the closet, but it did not...
Well just understand..... under "normal" circumstances, we do fine. Unless the SW is real hot, real high salinity, or real high altitude, we still...
Darn it... I forgot to mention.... I hope you got threaded. Since I had to order mine, I didn't want glued so I can reuse it if need be.
