Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
There really shouldn't be much of a difference to your system if your running at 20 or 40 or 200. The thing you *may* experience is the Co2 line blowing off of the infeed side of the needle valve.
What do you have the outflow pressure set to? I know when I had mine below 15, the Co2 flow was intermittent at best. No matter how much I adjusted the needle valve I couldn't get a consistent flow. When I cranked my outflow pressure up to around 20, the needle valve was able to maintain a...
Yeah, that'll work but it's not optimal. The problem is that U-tube's can (and do) lose siphon. If that happens you'll have a mess. The safest thing to do, IMO, is to drill it. Drilling tanks is pretty easy on thicker glass. The glass on a 10g may be a little trickier because its so thin. It can...
We have it and use it infrequently. Not for any other reason than I keep forgetting I have it :-[.
Now that we have our pH in balance and things are really starting to take off, maybe I'll be a little more diligent with using it to see if I get better results.
The one thing I don't see in your drawing is how you plan to drain water out of the proposed refugium. If you had the room, you could raise the fuge up about 4 to 6 inches and use gravity to feed the overflow back to the sump. If it were me, I'd raise up the 15g tank and drill a hole in it to...

OK, I've done my part, now you just have read that and click your heals together 3 times!
What type are the ones you have access to? Do they have a completely open top with a snap down lid or a sealed lid with two smaller ports? One of our members, Raskilnakov, occassionally sells the open top type. It'***** or miss and you have to be ready to pounce on them when he lists them...
Welcome Adam, we're glad you found us. You seem to be a good area in that there are lot of other members from around there. If you get a chance, post up some pics of your tank. It's always fun watching them grow.
We got ours from Water World, a pond supply place in Farminingdale. I've also heard that Agways and feed stores carry them. I think TFJ may be able to get them at a reasonable price too, but I'm not sure.
Yes, the RO/DI hooks into that float valve and it turns your RO/DI unit on and off.
Here is how the process works: Your RO/DI water goes through the Kent Float Valve and into your Barrel. When the water level in the barrel gets to the right height, the valve raises and shuts down the flow from...
