    Manifold water pressure

    That's not a good situation for me. #7 goes to the display tank. If anything, I want to leave that alone. In other words, how do I plumb the manifold such that, 1. The flow to display tank does not get affected with the things I add or remove in the manifold. There is a ball valve currently...

    another related question. Currently have three LED systems on a 72" tank. Can I just replace one of them with a dimmable system?

    Looking to buy LED's? Look here first

    Has anyone compared Apollo LEDs vs Eshine LEDs? I know they both are geared towards budget minded and wondering if there is a feature to feature comparison between these two makes. Currently have Feng LEDs and thinking of getting dimmable LEDs.

    Reef Angel Controller

    Those things were collecting dust in my basement over the years that I wanted to get rid of. I am not good at disposing the old stuff. Thinking of it, I need to bump that post! I have not heard any stories of having to send the controller back to repair. Even if you did, for those three days...

    Reef Angel Controller

    I have an Apex controller and I can speak from my experience. I am willing to bet Reef Angel controller uses similar architecture and works similar. If you are worried about "single-point" failure, then think of it this way: Controller is a separate hardware from the Switchboard that the...

    Auto top off issue

    This is the kind of solution I was actually expecting. But the more I think about it, I realize that this is not going to entirely solve the problem. I have a fuge that sits on top of the sump. What I've decided is to drop the water on the fuge instead of the sump. This way the outlet will be...

    Auto top off issue

    Hello, I am trying to setup an auto top off system. See the pic below: The blue container holds the fresh water from the ro/di unit. I use a Mag 5 pump to push the water up to the sump. I installed this only a couple of days ago and have not setup the sensors yet. I am manually operating the...
