Thanks everyone for your interest. Tank sold. I have two urchins and a large green brittle star free to good home however. Must take today.

Sorry, yes that is a typo. It should be 5x3x2. I fixed the post above. per the Marineland website dimensions below. 250 Deep Dimension - 2 overflows 60-1/4 x 36 x 27-1/4

Moving at the end of the month. Need to sell my 250 Gallon Deep Dimension (5ft x 3ft x 2ft) Glass aquarium with stand. Willing to let go cheap. Tank has dual rear overflows and returns. Black wood stand and Acrylic sump. You Haul but I will help. Tons of equipment also available if interested in the tank. items like skimmers, pumps, mp40s Neptune apex with lots of modules and extras. Please contact me if interested. Tank is priority vs equipment. I can store the equipment but the tank must go. Serious inquiries please. $550/obo Call or text for pics and more info - 5 oh 3 nine 8 nine 9.4.0.2

Nice. Are there purple dots under the oral disc? You can sometimes find Petco selling S. Gigantea under the name S. Haddoni. Looks like S. Haddoni but sometimes stressed S. Gigantea will have short tentacles like that, especially in Petco store tanks purple spots (verrucae) is the way to tell. Either way nice score. can't beat a Haddoni at that price.

I'm next in line if it falls through. Been wanting one for a while.

I've had success with Peroxide dosing. Coupled that with lights out period for 3 days.

Get Jorge's master flex. You won't be sorry.

yes if you are using a pressurized storage container then the permeate pump will help reduce waste water. Typically the benefits are seen when the pressure in the storage tank reaches 2/3rds of the inlet pressure. This is where a typical auto shut off would slow water production and then turn off. The permeate pump will allow the water production to continue at the normal rate ( not slow thus not creating additional waste) and continue to fill the storage container until it reaches the same pressure as the inlet. This is a good article about the permeate pump. http://www.purewaterproducts.com/aquatec-permeate-pump What I gather from this article is, if like me you usually turn on your RO unit to produce more water at a given time than what is typically stored in the pressure storage container (I usually turn it on to do about 10 gals at a time my container stores 3-5g) then the benefit won't be realized until I start filling the storage container again and the container reaches ~40psi (my inlet is about 60psi). My process: I open the valve on my product water (it's after the pressure tank) on my RO to fill a 10 gal top off container. The first 4 gals come out in a rush because it's stored in the pressure tank, when the pressure tank is empty the RO produces at its normal rate for the remaining 6 gals and it takes like 30 mins for my top off container to fill. Then I turn off the valve on the product water, the RO unit continues to produce, storing water in the pressure tank. For me I would not see a benefit to the permeate pump during this process until after I close the valve on the product water and the pressure tank starts filling and reaches 2/3rds pressure. The permeate pump would allow the RO to not slow at 2/3rds pressure and continue to store until the pressure equals the inlet. This would allow my pressure container to essentially store more than the ~4gals it normally does. But if you typically only use less than what the pressure container stores. Say 2 gals at a time, then you are constantly in that zone of approx 2/3rds pressure that a permeate pump would be a benefit. I hope that helps.

I can attest to the how easy it is to use a calcium reactor with a peristaltic pump. I run one on mine and have essentially never had to adjust it. You pull through the reactor with this pump and it makes it a breeze to setup. If I already didn't have one I would be all over this. GLWS Jorge. Anyone with a large tank/CA reactor I would highly recommend you pick this up.

Permeate pumps are used to maintain consistent pressure across the system when the product water is being stored in a pressurized water storage tank. Like the little 3-5 gal "drinking water tanks"often sold with RO units. Example. The white tank shown here http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/brs-5-stage-drinking-water-ro-system-75gpd.html As the pressurized water tank gets full it puts pressure on the product water coming out of the RO membrane this causes the membrane to lose efficiency and more waste water to be generated. The permeate pump uses the pressure of the waste water to keep the pressure on the product water consistent so as the water tank fills the efficiency stays the same. If the water tank is empty then the permeate pump doesn't necessarily add value since there is no back pressure on the membrane. Electric pumps increase pressure for systems that have low water pressure coming into the system or to increase the speed of water production of the membrane. If you are looking to reduce your waste water you would be better off adding another RO membrane being fed off the waste water of your first membrane.

Looking to buy/trade for a IM desktop Ghost Skimmer. The small one that will fit in the 10g/20g IM tank. MSG me if you got one you want to get rid of. Thanks!

Pm sent.

Looking for interesting dead coral skeletons. Specifically of Heliopora (blue ridge coral), bamboo coral, antipatharia (rare i know), Red/Pink Coral (Coralliidae), even Porites, Acros, etc. anything with interesting color basically. Looking to do some carvings or beads for jewelry or some crafts type stuff with it. Let me know what you have.

Brian have they been connected in the past and just recently won't connect or is this the first time? they may need a firmware update. I had an issue when I connected an old wwd to my system that it wouldn't accept a firmware update. Had to swap the drivers with a spare. I have spare old wwd drivers if you need.

remove the wire from the controller. Its has a molex style connector on the inside of the driver. pass that through your opening and reconnect the driver on the other side. It shouldn't need to be cut. I am sure if it comes down to it you can remove the wires from each of the individual spots in the connector as long as you remember where they go you can reconnect them on the other side. No cutting needed unless you wanted to extend/shorten the cord.

I have a printed sheet with the wiring diagrams if you need a copy. But it's easily obtainable online. Charles is spot on you can run 1-4 depending on how you wire it.

AMAZING STUFF. Dan is super generous and still has tons for sale. We left with way more than we planned last night and still can't believe how much was left. go get some stuff

i have several workhorse 7 ballasts. good for up to 4 54ws

Interested in this sending you a pm.

I'm in for this.

I can't help tomorrow Sat 10th but I can probably help next weekend.

I use dual Herbies one in each of my corner overflows. Super quiet.

Finally a build thread Kelso.

Dang it Kelso.
