    Had I known you had those reconstructive enhancements, Pete, there is NO WAY I would have missed the meeting.

    Nice! It's a good skimmer from what I hear. Good luck with it.

    Help with CO2 Regulator...

    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.

    Help with CO2 Regulator...

    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...

    DIY Refugium????

    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...

    Reef Chilli?

    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.

    DIY Refugium????

    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...

    Ka Reactor vs Ca Reactor

    Ain't that the truth. I wish I had a dime for every time I said "Ah this is it. Once we get this online we won't need anything else"

    What are safe 55 gal barrels?

    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.

    No covers at all Mike. They're wide open. I hadn't thought about anything getting into them . . . until now . . . thanks!

    Rubbermaid Troughs?

    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.

    More good info. Thanks Carlo. Is this media available for sale? If so, I'll probably take a ride out there one night this week.

    auto top off

    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...
