They're all simple to install. The easiest way is to hook it up to the faucet. That's probably what you want to do, since you live in an apartment....
It can mess with anything photosynthetic. Some of my corals went downhill when I raised the levels; they were mostly acans. The levels should also...
There's a few things that eat it. Some Elysia genus slugs being some of them. Another option is to raise magnesium to 1600-1700, and keep it there...
Buy a canister (the assembly the filters fit in; may be called something different), and plumb the output of your system to the input of the canister.
Instead of cutting the edges of that corner to be straight, they should be cut like this: [ATTACH] That way, the pressure isn't ever resting solely...
The reason I drew the design with the separate compartment was to use the same set of baffles for both the skimmer and the fuge (sometimes needed,...
Whatever you need them to be ;D I'm just throwing out ideas; you can make the ideas work for your particulars.
Well, if you're going FOWLR, you have to avoid quite a few of the normal FOWLR species since they'll eat crabs, if you want that to be your CUC....
What about a slightly more unusual layout to the same old general setup? [ATTACH]
Carbon should be changed every 2 to 3 weeks. What kind of tank do you plan on keeping that you don't want snails?
It's reliable, and gets very good MPG (typically getting 30+). 2009 Civic FTW. Oh, and it has interior ground lighting. Gotta love that when trying...
I dunno. If you can fit it, I'd use the sump as a standard skimmer > return < fuge setup, with the reactors either in front or behind it, using up...
Sorry, I'm not following this logic; humor me for a second. Reactors tend not to need to be submerged/partially submerged like in-sump skimmers, and...
I would suggest moving the reactors out of the sump, and just using pumps from the return chamber to pump out the water, and dump it back into the...
Anywhere with a high flow.
Having an overflow rated higher than the return pump isn't bad at all; it's usually preferable. You definitely don't want a return pump rated higher...
You could definitely hang it on the sump, on one fo the compartments with a steady water level. If it's in the sump itself, it might get flooded.
The sump isn't your key determinant of your max flow rate for the return pump. The overflow is. I also wouldn't push it that close to the max flow...
I would guess that any bubbles would be localized to the area where the Purigen is located, barring a strong flow distributing microbubbles (which...
Hrm, DiCaprio is an actor I like a lot. He just hadn't been in a whole lot of movies whose general themes fit with the type of stuff I like. This...
