  1. DIY ReefRotor?

    BigB... which sprinkler head are you using? Demose ==> Do a search on snailman for the plans. I'm using a Hunter PGP rotor head which is the same that was used by ReefRotor. Everything is assembled. The head has been tested with an MJ1200 which has enough power to drive one head. Now all I...
  2. dolphin water pump

    Jim, There's an order pool at Reef Central fof the Dolphin. About $30 off with free shipping. Just do a search in their for sale area.
  3. When have you changed your RO membrane?

    The only way to know for sure is to use a TDS monitor. They're relatively inexpensive and available from Aqua-Fx and Reef-Pure to name a few. -Alex [ November 22, 2001: Message edited by: Alex in Austin ]</p>
  4. DIY ReefRotor?

    Does anyone happen to have a picture of a ReefRotor? I did some research and found that the ReefRotor was a modified Hunter PGP sprinkler head. I purchased two of those heads and began to modify them using Snailman's Orbit instructions as a guide. I think I may have it but wanted to see if...
  5. GULF-VIEW LIVE ROCK

    Dale's rock, ROCKS! I've never had a Mantis and I've purchased over 150 lbs of mainly deco and corraline rock. Add his rock and you have instant color! The one thing I would look out for is those bristly rock crabs that sometimes hitchike on his rock. The one I have has grown to almost two...
  6. Cracking Glass!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Mark, Switching to a plastic container would be your best bet. However, if you want to keep the glass sump the best way to stop a crack from spreading is to use a glass cutter to scratch a perpendicular line to the crack. This should stop it from spreading. Keep a close eye on it and...
  7. Need to find connector for AquaFX RO/DI unit

    I'll go with Ty on this. I've always called them and have never had anything less than stellar customer service.
  8. what bulbs for getting moon effect ?

    I run a 3 watt flourescent in the top corner of my canopy. This adds a soft mellow glow to the whole tank. The fish and corals and inverts think it's night time and I get to watch the stuff that only comes out at night.
  9. Looking for large flat container to farm SPS

    One of the LFS in town makes his coral tanks out of treated 2x8 or 10 sides with a plywood bottom. A pond liner or thick poly and a few bags of Southdown along with two bulkheads and he's all done.
  10. Electrical help...please

    It sounds like you might have a ground fault in the cable or the house wiring (ground wire touching the neutral). I would get a circuit tester (the small, square type you plug into the wall) and check the wall outlet then the power strip. If it shows a site wiring fault or a ground fault in the...
  11. What did everyone see or buy this weekend at the LFS?

    I picked up a Tunze model 233 skimmer to replace my TurboFlotor. It's only been running since Saturday but already it's amazing to see just how much my Turbo was letting past.
  12. Anyone interested in working at a "reef shop" loca

    I lived in Pleasant Valley for a while. Beautiful country.
  13. How do you remove the detritus from your sump?

    I have a diatom filter. Every month or so I turn on the diatom and blast the hell out of my sump with a turkey baster. This throws all the detritus into suspension and blows it into the tank through the return line. The diatom filter makes extremely short work of that and the corals love it...
  14. Ocean Motion WaveMaker

    Anyone have one of these? I'm looking for instructions and/or dip switch settings. Thanks -Alex
  15. HQI @ HD

    Let us know what you find out, Fletch.
  16. Mixing Tangs

    I have a Sohol and a Powder Blue. Both were added at the same time and at night. The room was kept dark and the lights out for the next 24 hours. All I get now is an occasional show of fins and some posturing at feeding time
  17. Me and my new Sump

    You'll never go wrong with a mag. The first thing you need to do is calculate the flow you need. The rule of thumb is 10x total capacity per hour. Once you have the flow calculated go to flow chart and look for the closest over that flow and at the height you need to push. For example, if you...
  18. Please help with RO/DI unit (Barracuda)

    I highly reccommend you give Brian at AquaFx a call and ask him these same questions. YOur Barracuda should have been completely assembled when you received it so that all you would have had to do is supply water. Brian is extremely helpful and will walk you through all of your questions. In...
  19. I've never seen this before

    But you may have. He's about 2 1/2 inches across, very shy and so far I've not seen him nip at any coral or take one of my snails or hermits. Any ideas?! [ July 18, 2001: Message edited by: Alex_78745 ]
