Here's a couple more questions. sorry. I am VERY sensitive to water taste. So If I buy a 5 stage unit which is what I'm leaning more towards now I will have to add something to the water to drink it? ...to replace the natural electrolytes? Does it have a taste? Anyone have a link to this...

Re: 2 quick inquiries for the many geniuses of the forum :) See ! I told ya !! Geniuses! ha ha How much does a ball valve cost? I see feed valve, angle valve, tap valve, etc. on the site you sent me fatman. My tank will be set up in Sept/Oct and I want the ro/di now. Can I make as much water...

So when I am looking to buy rock how do I know if I'm getting the good, low density and porous kind? What do I look for? FatMan, the website you gave me with the rock is the "good" kind? Thanks.

So if I have low water pressure it will cause the unit to create more waste water, right? so.... it would be cheaper to buy the booster pump and the switches and the solinoid valves to save water so that I don't have to pay for all that wasted water. Right?? Even if I have good water pressure...

Does over feeding stress the fish? I don't need 50-100 gallons a day or a permenant unit. I live in an apartment. This is what I want. I really appreciate all your advice and help but I'm wanting to know what I need to look for in a ro/di system....whether it be 5 stage, 7 stage, or best...

Forgot...... so the Ro/DI on ebay that you're talking about is dependable? I always get a little nervous buying from ebay but then I remember how shady big buisnesses can be too so...... lol. Thanks. :) If it goes to 6 stage then what's the best? Is the 6 stage the best? I thought it only went...

Oh ok. How big of a quarantine tank would you do? .....especially since later on I want a Powder Blue Tang. I know these are extremely difficult but they're my favorite so I have to at least try it. (unless it could get ich and kill all my fish) Is this possible? I hate the idea of a tank going...

My goodness what FANTASTIC detailed info. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!! Why do you suggest to get the most expensive best rock I can afford? It's not all the same? Is it true I can just use the rock for filtration or do I need an actual filtration system besides the skimmer? (and later on macro...

Hey Peoples ! 1. I want to buy an RO/DI unit for my 120 gallon (not yet set up) saltwater aquarium. I want the unit to be very good but I don't want to go crazy. "I don't have a money tree out back." ha ha. The thing I'm trying to figure out right now is what I need to look for in a RO/DI...

....forgot to mention the magdrive. Oh wow. Thanks for those links. I love links. lol. Do you have anything else on the inside of the tank for flow? powerheads or external pump(s)? What do you plan to put in there? Thanks for reminding me about the rock. I had forgotten.

THANK GOD !!! I found someone ! lol. Please fatman I need your help. Batman tune plays in background nununu nu FATMAN !!! lol :bowdown: I'm at your mercy. Please help ! lol I'm pretty darn sure that's what the tank is. 2 internal overflows with 2 holes each. I don't know if you saw the pics or...

whoops sorry.

I purchased a 120 gallon tank and am wanting to purchase the pump and skimmer next. I want to do reef and fish with a sump that has macro algae and rock and maybe sand. I thought I had the pump figured out that I was going to get. ...around 1500 gph at 4 foot head height but then I saw where...

Thanks so much for the FANTASTIC info. We keep our apartment 69-70 degrees at all times so would a pump inside the water be good because of that? or would you still recommend an external? I just wonder how much heat it would put off. It might actually be a good thing. ?? Thanks.

I'm going to put macro algae and rock in the sump eventually.

All I got is in the pic. I got the tank with a plastic box on each end - each with two holes. I have to buy the plumbing and bulkheads I think he called them. I forgot to mention this info: From the top of the tank to the bottom of the stand is almost 54 inches. So you've heard of Gen-X? Is...

I am needing a pump for a 120 gallon aquarium and I need it to be powerful enough so that I won't have to buy another one later but also keep in mind I'm not wanting to waste money either. lol. This is a tank that is not set up yet but I am wanting to put fish and reef in it. One lfs is...

A couple people have told me where you have the holes drilled in the tank is important because in case of a power outage you don't want the water going into the floor. 2 days ago the lfs said that isn't what determines whether the water goes into the floor or not. shrugs shoulders. ....and of...

How do you install a "float valve"? Is this easy or hard? I see that there are different kinds at different prices. Do you suggest any inparticular? : Kent Marine Float Valve Kit For RO and RO/DI Units (Saltwater Aquarium Supplies > Reverse Osmosis > Accessories > Float Valves ) Add-On...
