    Calling pump gods

    Strickly for comparison, BRS runs their reactor off maxi jet 900s and 1200 for duals. A 1200 is only 300 gph. 300 gph can run both. They are run...

    gate valve or ball valve?

    Just asking. There is no reason to recirc back to the sump. A valve on the discharge will do what you want. Also, no too many times you would want to...

    gate valve or ball valve?

    That is not true. Power usage is determined by work done. Less water pumped means less less work done and less power consumed. There is simply...

    So what is the best way to run GFO?

    Carbon revisited.

    I use ROX .8. Googled once and there is a ton of info on GAC. I would like to see how ROX .8 holds up since BRS considers it so superior. BRS has...

    So what is the best way to run GFO?

    Ya I didn't figure I needed GFO so I passed on the dual. At this point I'm sure I could get another on and put them together. I use ROX .8 carbon...

    So what is the best way to run GFO?

    Stock Aquarium As Sump--Mechanical Filtration Needed

    Phosphates killed my SPS?

    No, same number of drops. You still need the same reaction. You just have ten times the PO4 to react to. I do it with nitrate tests too. I have...
