    Ro/di flow restrictor

    I want to use a 75gpd membrane on my Kent Ro/di Hi-S unit 60gpd. I know I need a flow restrictor in order to do this. Is there a current flow restrictor on this unit I need to replace or how does this work? Thanks guys!

    Phosban Results

    I had mine setup for a lil over a week. Have not noticed too much of a difference yet. I heard it can take up to 2-3 weeks before noticing a difference. I have mine set to where the top of the Phosban looks like a simmer to boil affect.

    Dying Brain..Or not?

    I have another tank, but I don't have the lighting that he needs to thrive in that tank. Tank he's in is mixed with SPS, LPS, and Softies. I use C-Balance as my 2 part solution. I'm trying to keep the Kh on the lower end. In hopes he will make a full recovery. I got my fingers crossed!!LOL

    Dying Brain..Or not?

    Yup! That's him. I just recently moved him in that plastic bin, in hopes the shaded light will help him recover. I had him for almost 3 months. I added the solution into a high flow area and it hit the other end of the aquarium before hitting him. But since I added that stuff, he has not been...

    Dying Brain..Or not?

    My Trachyphyllia has not opened in over a week and the mouth seemed to start to receed a little bit, but now it seems to be repairing itself. This all started when I added my normal 2 part solution last Monday. As soon as I added the normal dosage of the KH, he immediately closed up and has not...

    Don't think skimmer is foaming like it should!!

    I reduced the water level to where you indicated. It did produce a darker skim within the foam, but the collection cup was practically empty. I think this model skimmer has some flaws. Thinking about adding the mesh mod to it and maybe customizing it to look like the Reef Octo Extreme series...

    No matter what size tank you end up with, you always want to go bigger! My next is 500g FO. That's a long shot though!!!

    I'm gonna try that! Do think I should mesh mod the needlewheel impeller as well?? Been told by a few ppl that it will help out a lot.

    Do you have this type of skimmer? Where you indicated where the water line should be is when the open gate valve is open all the way.

    Don't think skimmer is foaming like it should!!

    Are you saying remove the bottom portion of PVC pipe going into the sump from the 90? Did not know about the pressure build up within the outlet pipe. The air intake tube is not blocked at all. I even made sure today and ran boiling Rodi water through it to remove any buildup within the airtube.

    Don't think skimmer is foaming like it should!!

    You can if you want to, but I think our skimmers are different. I have a recirculating skimmer, don't know if yours is the same. I'm experimenting and playing with it. I closed the open gate valve a lil bit more to raise the water level about midway point on the neck of the collection cup. I do...

    Don't think skimmer is foaming like it should!!

    I hear ya on the hubby debates..LOL! My girl and I are always debating on this stuff...So, if I increase the water level to about a few inches below the top of the collection neck of the skimmer..That will give me more of a wet skim?

    Yes, I do get algae in the display and along the walls of the refug area. I recently have had to cut my lights back to 9hrs from 12hrs, I run 3 VHO's.
