Well I know I have seen it. When ever I pull a maxi-mod for a cleaning and rebuild the coralline always turns white. The once back in the tank it...
I think he wants the bubbles stuck to the coral. Kent's been in it for a bit so I think he knows what he likes. But we shall see. Regardless of what...
Wait it out? I dont think theres much you can do.
I think its coraline that has bleached out...Thats my guess

Go for the Octo. Great skimmer built with real cell cast acrylic just like the expensive brands. One thing I would plan on doing is the gate valve...
The glass seams are one thing that I worry about with surges. Really it cant be good for it. Over the course of years I would suspect it takes its...
The bubble are created because it uses a pocket of air to start/stop the siphon It draws air through a one-way vent in the top. Has otherwise it...
The air balance is touchy. When we first built the surge it used a 2" tube. That wasn't enough flow potential and the system kept finding...
Theres not that much noise involved because there is a muffler on a oneway air valve that is built into the surge tank. With the canopy closed and...

We tried the flush surge. With the small plunger we could get it allow 35 gallons to blow before the Dart pump caught up. Do they make those valves...

Provides flow. When you build reef tanks that are 1k or bigger you have to start coming up with creative methods of flow. It gets really expensive at...
Interesting.....You would think that a surge on a 1000 gallon reef tank would get more comments???
That chart is old too. It was before the dimable moonlight module, Tunze/Vortech control module, and the assiganble I/O breakout box module. I dont...
You could do a 16oz surge...That would be crazy.
Carlson's Surges are really simple [IMG] This one uses a vent connected to a needle valve to control the bleed air in the main drain tube. This...
I am a big fan of that controller. I have them on two of my maintaince accounts. I love how when someone calls me yelling, I can just punch the web...
