Any suggestions for additions with this system. I already ordered a digital refractometer. I'm thinking about a controller maybe the reefkeep lite or elite. I suppose if I add a controller, I lose that sweet 1 plug design though.

Interesting concept to replace skimmer, fuge, etc. with one of these. Anyone ever heard of someone doing this?

Basically, you build this device to GROW algae, so that the algae in your DT can't compete for nutrients (Nitrates and Phosphates). Sort of the same concept as a fuge, but simple. ]]> Red Sea Max Owners Club rhogeo http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/red-sea-max-owners-club/62340-algae-scrubbers.html http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/red-sea-max-owners-club/62339-buy-reef-auctions.html Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:02:36 GMT Has anyone ever bought any frags from Buy The Reef ?

But I really want to keep the stock hood.

I think I found a dream solution in these led lights by Current.

They seem perfect for the hood.

Anyone use them before? I think the three strips costs about 200. I would still use the existing PCs as well.

After this, you will probably think I don;t deserve to have such a good bit of equipment, but so far I would get more flow from a £20 Power head !!!!!

I have tried 2 positions so far, right side and left side appx 4" from top and have also tried right at the top just to test.

1st thing. This things is VERY noisy and I won't be able to be in the same room as it if it does not quiet down like it is supposed to do !!!

2nd thing, If I blew on the serface with my own mouth, I would create a bigger wave than Pulse mode !!

I have now read the proper instructions on the web and although there is alot more info and will give me something to work on, there doesnt seem to be anything that would drstically change anything

I have tried from 50% to 100% on all modes.

This may seem a really ridiculous question, but for my own piece of mind please answer it if you can. When you put your hand near the pump, does it blow or suck because there is next to nothing coming from it and all it wants to do is suck with a little bit of blow round the edges of it !!

Any help please ?

I'm not sure if I have the stock heater or not, cause I got the tank used. But the heater in my back chamber has a red knob on top where the temperature numbers are written. Any comments on this heater, if in fact I have the stock heater. Well anyways, I looked at the heater and noticed it was running at 76 degrees and my temperature reader for my tank was reading 77.5 degrees. (Room temperature in my house was 75 degrees). So I got a little nervous and I raised the temperature on the heater to 78 degrees. Hopefully that raises the temp a little and hopefully that was okay to do. Anyone have any thoughts on my situtation? What do you guys run your heater temperature at?

I have a red sea max 130 and pretty new at this so need a bit of advice.
Have upgraded protien skimmer to Tunze 9002 and fitted it without media rack for now. Have also have upgraded the surface skimmer to the box type. Now the water loss is in the sump at the back, my question is what level do I keep the sump at the back to? If I fill it too full the heater is fully submerged and micro bubbles seem to be generated past the heater in it's chamber. I have removed all media from under the pair of pumps and just added a bag of rowphos, will move that to the media rack when I eventually buy/make one. At the moment I have some sponge jammed between the skimmer and the inside wall catching any big lumps.

Any advice would be appreicated
Regards
