There are approximately 4 liters in a gallon. I use vineagar because I was convinced by the threads and articles I read. I only use about half the reccomended maximum. Been doing so for last 3 - 4 months, so far so good, no problems and corals/livestock are healthy.

Desktop, Iwaki's made in Japan have "MD" in front of the model number, american made ones have "WMD." The japanese made models are more expensive and reputed to be the better pumps. I have an american WMD30RLXT that has run 24/7 for about two years without the slightest problem. If the...

The address is: 105 Fairfield street; phone is 813 -891-4291. Call them and ask for directions cause its kind of tricky.

Mine usually bubbles two-thirds of the way to the bottom. That is to say the bubbles are just covering the gray tube inside the cylinder.

I would reccomend Fish and Other Icthy Stuff in Oldsmar (right outside of Tampa) over both Marine Warehouse and TB Saltwater. Maybe also Petmart in St Pete (not the chain Petsmart!)

Sorry all: I meant "there" and "chords" (long day)

JT, I take it then that their are two power cards coming out of the unit? One for the PC's and one for the MH's?

Richard, excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is "back pressure?" I would be using the pump as a return from my sump back up into the tank. The return line goes up approximately 4 feet and then goes thru two PVC 90's to go over tank's upper edge.

OK, by my calculations the MAK-4 pumps 1050 gph at 6 feet of head; the Iwaki pumps 900 gph at 6 feet of head. Does that sound right?

No one?? I can't believe it!! Opinions from anyone who has owned these pumps are most welcome.....

Can anybody tell me if I will get more flow from a Mak-4 than an Iwaki WMD 30RLXT? At 6 feet of head? I've read the Iwaki chart - it says max flow 19 gpm, or 960 gph at 4 foot head. The Mak-4 says max flow 1190 gph, and the graph on the box is in liters and meters - argghhh! Can someone just...

Hey Dan, where might I look for a copy of this 2002 annual? Borders? Good LFS? My fax machine from you....!!?

I want to know this also!! Mine is used and when I got it I thought that someone must have changed it from originally being straight up. And here I was going to just unscrew it......

Well, Henry, any thoughts on what the growth on the hammer coral is then? The snail is not on the hammer coral.

I posted the same pics over at reef central. Seems pretty certain to be a crown conch from response there. Any thoughts on the growth on the hammer coral skeleton??
