Phillipe, I am interested in the generator. I will give you a call this evening.

Thanks for the link Algae. I could not find this on their site by searching, but the product number got me there and I ordered some. Great deal.

I think a tall tank looks better but doesn't work well. My tank is 36" deep and i have to have my face against the water surface to touch the bottom. I use a ladder of course and I can get to both the front and the back of the tank. I also have a good pair of long tongs.

The greater depth requires stronger lights to reach the bottom though you can put corals there which don't require much light. If I could redesign my tank, it would be deeper and only 30" tall. It's hard to believe you can't easily reach the bottom of a 24" tall tank with good access unless you have very short arms.

+1 on the large size. I thought that the ARM coarse size was more uniform than what you have. Where did you see a price of $14 a gallon for genuine ARM?

"Grassi explaind to me why the tank didnt like the GFO. As strange as this sounds the new way seems to work.... "

Frank, what did Grassi tell you? Please share.

I think that should be an excellent lens and spendy. But get one of the expert's opinion.

Pm sent about the Hammerhead.

Clay, I have a new/almost new 500W titanium heater to sell/trade, but no controller.

A closed loop is used to add circulation in a tank. It is an alternative to using powerheads.

The intake for the closed loop is normally one or more bulkheads high on the back wall of the tank. The flow from these intakes goes to the pump and then is pushed back to the tank through bulkheads in the bottom of the tank, bulkheads in the back wall, or through returns that come over the top of the tank.

These returns can often be hidden in rockwork so that they are not seen and can be placed anywhere to give you whatever flow you want. This is their main advantage over powerheads , which are more power efficient.

Closed. I'm no longer looking for a pump.

Thanks Fish, the Barracuda is a good pump but not a pressure pump. I'll be using an Iwaki 100.

Marine Depot has "Won Brothers" titanium heaters, 500W for $59.99. I have a new one for $40 and a barely used one for $30.

I need to have a tee added to my copper water line with a connection for my RO/DI system, as I am not getting enough pressure from the piercing saddle I am using, even with a booster pump. It works great when I connect to a faucet outside and run a line under the garage door.

Does anyone know somebody who can cut my copper water line and add a tee with valve or faucet? I would prefer a reccomendation to just trying a plumber from the yellow pages.

Thanks,

Mark

Is the 400W ballast HQI?

I think a generator is your best bet. Maybe home depot will rent you one. I don't have anything that will help.

I'm using an Iwaki 70RLT, so a 100RLT would be best. I could use a Reefflo pressure pump if I had to.

I have a number of bags of new CaribSea sugar sized Aragonite sand that I will not be using. I'll sell them for $30 or make you a quantity deal. i live very close to Frank (Feb meeting this weekend).

I have a used 500W and a new 500W Ti heater. Won brothers, with no controller.

I'll take the "One dual PFO 400w MH magnetic ballast $30 no moguls or mogul cables". PM sent

Hi Garrett,

I posted a WTB for a large pressure pump and 2 people suggested that I talk to you. I am looking for a used Iwaki 100 or one of the Reefflo pressure pumps. Have you got anything for me?

Mark

+1 for Jeff

I am looking for a large pressure pump from Iwaki or Reefflo.

I'm looking for an Iwaki 100RLT in good to very good condition for a good price

Sorry for not paying attention.

I have changed plans and need some 46.5" VHO bulbs. I have some new 72" bulbs I won't be using, what kind of bulb are you looking for?

rock + VHO

I have extra liverock, most of it is large to very large and an extra 72 inch 4 bulb VHO fixture. PM me if you are interested.
