    What a relief! (rodi)

    I don't know the why's.... I only know what I was told...... look at any "reef RO system" and you wont' see that extra carbon filter..... it is there purly for taste enhancement of the water...... I presume maybe to add back in minerals that the DI removes for drinking purposes.... you are...

    What a relief! (rodi)

    that white chamber on top next to the DI cartridge is a carbon filter for drinking water purification and taste.......... to use it for a reef....... it should be removed.. the last cartridge your water should flow thru before you use it in your tank is the DI cartridge......

    power down pump...

    I know I can program that into my aquacontroller...... other than some actual controllers, I don't know of any other way....... if the way your setup works the siphon breaks everytime the pump quits....... I would change the way you have it setup........ your siphon should NEVER break on...

    Need help with Sump theory...

    I have to differ on the mag 5........ it's only 310 gph at 4' head....... now take into consideration the bends in the plumbing.... the return into the tank.... realistically that is probably going to end up at more like 250.... I think I'd go with a mag 7..... to end up at approx...

    A long stream of questins that will hopfullly benefit everyone if answered.

    Carbon removes impurities from the water that can be harmful.. Used in excess, or "free floating" it can be harmful, but generally is considered a good thing... a 175 Halide should be fine for sps and clams... I would stick with Crocea Clams rather than maximas or gigas as they need more...

    Nano, Nano, Nano

    The 12 gallon aquapod or the 14 gallon bio cube are my favorites... they all seem to have issues with loud fans at some point.... I agree I would stay away from an anemone in a small nano like that... there just isn't enough water volume to keep things stable all the time.. nano's are great...

    Auto Top OFF Equipment ????

    I have used the jbj autotopoff unit...... works very well...... the only problem I had with mine was finding a pump that fit the job....... the nice thing about the osmolator is it comes with a pump that doesn't put out a lot of flow........ but yet will work at 5' of head.... my...

    salt levels

    depending on how high it is...... lower it slowly..... large changes will stress the inhabitants and cause cause problems with them..... even death..... remember....... NOTHING GOOD HAPPENS FAST IN A REEF TANK!

    What is it?

    actually, I went to a conference where Scott Michael gave a lecture..... and he said it was proven that a filefish would eat majano.... personally, I've had good luck with joe's juice killing them permanently.... make sure you turn off your pumps... cover the majano with it and let it sit...

    question on CPR BakPak2R unit

    yep, I agree..... even if I got a bakpak skimmer with the blue stuff in it.... I'd remove it.... it's not neccessary for the operation of the skimmer and will store nitrates

    Whats your favorite equipment?

    LOL you're right Nathan... it's a GREAT pump....... but I saw that picture and said..... what the heck is that??? LOL..... I don't think i've ever seen a maxijet fully assembled like that..... never used the hose..... or the flow divertor..... guess most of the time I used it for something else...
