    Keeping my tank cool

    So im looking at fans to buy and am wondering if a twin fan is enough or should I get a quad fan? My tank is 65 gallons and I have a 29 gallon sump. Also would this work on my sump rather than my display tank?

    Keeping my tank cool

    I definently don’t want a chiller. They are expensive, large and can be noisy. Does a fan make that much of a difference? Will it actually cool it down a few degrees?

    Keeping my tank cool

    Hard water

    Well, I feel like a dumb ass right now... I took my rodi unit off the wall and had a good look at it. It appears that the hoses were not assembled correctly. Now, I had the correct water line draining to my bucket but the flow from chamber to chamber was incorrect. Who knows what type of...

    Hard water

    I’m gonna have them read my TDS in the next few days. If my water is unnormally high for some reason, is there a special cartridge or something to put in the canisters of my RO unit. One thing that I have noticed lately.... is that when I turn my RO unit on, it makes the water much...

    Hard water

    So I’ve been stuggling with hard water and I’m looking for suggestions. My alkalinity about a month ago was 14. I had it tested by TSM aquatics. Following the guidance of TSM Aquatics I started doing 15 gallon water changes once a week to try and lower it slowly. My tank and sump hold roughly...

    Non sensitive protein skimmer recommendations.

    As I have written many times I have had nothing but problems with my Octo 110 protein skimmer and am looking to buy a new one. I’ve fussed with this one for two months now and it’s time for a change. I’ve owned many protein skimmers and never had a problem like I did with this one So what is a...

    Octo 110 skimmer questions

    I honestly don’t understand it either. Everything is hooked up correctly. It’s skimming great but the micro bubbles came back in the display tank. I’m just happy that it’s skimming properly.

    Octo 110 skimmer questions

    So it has been about seven weeks since I gave my skimmer a vinegar bath. It has been quite the challenge trying to get it to skim properly. I have raised and lowered the sump in many different ways and nothing worked. Than this morning I was determined to get it working. After messing with the...

    Cyanobacteria

    I plan to keep up with the dosing for 8 weeks, which is what they recommend. The resurgence that occurred this week had me slightly concerned and I don’t want to take a step backwards. Which is why I thought maybe doing a slightly larger water change could correct this.
