I used a 40 gal. under my 180, I think would be a minimum for a tank of that size. If I had the space and my druthers, I would have liked to have a sump for equipment, and a separate display fuge separated into two sections, one for vascular type plant, i.e. eel grass / oar grass, and one for...

Congratulations.

RO/DI is considered purified.

Merry Christmas one and all, and a Happy New Year.

In a pinch you could make your own solution. Here is an article explaining the method under the heading, "Refractometer Standard". Here is another article explaining the reason you need to use a solution that is near the refractive index of your test sample under the heading, "Imperfect...

I was using the same BRS 1.1 ml dosers connected to Intermatic DT 620 timers dosing 10 times each per day overnight, one on the hour one on the half hour.

Looks great Joe, nicely done.

You're right, there is a typo, it should be 0.6 micron which is the 'nominal' rating(85% effective). But the 'absolute' rating(99.9% effective) is 2 micron. So, I used the 'absolute' rating. I never waited until they were clogged to replace them anyway.

We must get our water from the same aquifer, mine has always been around 100 too. As far as how ofter you will need to replace your filters, would depend on, not only the quality of your raw water, but also how much you have to make, the size of your prefilters, i.e. 1 micron, 5 micron, etc...

BRS uses Randy's recipe for two part, so use this calculator, fill in the blanks for your system, use Randy's recipe #1* from the drop down menus for both calcium and alkalinity and magnesium(if necessary)sections to get the dosage of each. * Recipe #1: 2 1/2 cups of calcium chloride mixed...

Looks good Juan.

Its not Matt of ECA is it? I know after the fire he was looking to open a place in NJ. I would have thought that EHT or Hamilton Twp. would be a better location.

I'm not 100% on everything in these articles, but I think they will give you a starting point. http://www.fishlore.com/SaltwaterAquariumSetup-QA.htm http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/saltwater-general-articles/marine-fish-compatability-creating-stocking-list-38579/...

I would use CaCl from BRS. You can also get Soda Ash from them, or make it yourself with simple A&H Baking Soda(baking it). I would however consider using the Kalk as well. First make sure your SG is right, since this is when you're adding your Ca, Alk and Mg in the first place. I would...
