  1. My wife's phone was the same last week. She walked up to the car and set it on the roof. Instantly forgot and we drove off. Mile down the road "thump". iPhone 6 plus screen shattered...not cheap ;(

  2. Yeah I could print one but that would take me drawing the whole thing up in CAD and waiting to print it. Not something I do for one off parts.

     

    Instead buy a jebao dc12000 and my impeller/venturi kit and you'll have 80 scfh of air skimming power! I've heard the psk2500 is a bit of a pain and has trouble restarting.

  3. Fluval Edge 5 gal with top removed (rimless). Would be a cool nano! - $40

    Bubble Magus NAC 5.5 – Cleaned up and ready to go. Previously used by someone else, turned out a bit too big for my new AIO frag tank. Rated for 80-135 gal. Atman pump. Retails for $200. - SOLD

    ONLY Trades I’m interested in is an ATO or Tunze 9004 skimmer, nothing else. Thanks!

     

    Will ship at buyers expense with Paypal payment. Otherwise local pickup please.

  4. I wonder if this is something that could be automated? If someone could help with the mechanical aspects, I would do the software...

    I think it would be possible but you'd need 2 accurate dosing pumps and a controllable dump valve.

     

     

    Pump one runs a set amount of time to fill container with tank water that has probe in it.

    Pump two runs acid in intervals waiting for the probe to catch up. Once reaching set point, record number of intervals.

    Dump container with valve into waste reservoir

    Pump one turns on to submerge probe again. May need a rinse program.

     

    The issue is going to be keeping everything calibrated properly for the acid dose.

     

    ...I'll keep waiting for the Mindstream to come out hehe ;)

  5. I run a RF Dart also, they are super quiet and just keep on trucking (plus they have great warranties and are rebuildable by RF or yourself with a few tools). If I was going to do internal the DC pumps are basically silent as well. Water blasters are great but get spendy once you get into the higher flow rates.

  6. Geo seems to be the brand of choice. I use an old reef octopus and it's done me well. I don't have wall to wall sps so my reactor has a little lighter duty than some but it still has its work cut out. I do love that I literally ran it for over a year on one bag of reborn media and a 5lb tank. In that time I've only done minor fiddling with it and the tank has done great! More or less set and forget. I would get a decent controller for it either with a Milwaukee or run it off your aquarium controller. Mine runs off my ReefKeeper.

     

    For the feed pump I run it off a manifold from my return pump. Some people do it cheap with small pumps, others go fancy with masterflex dosing pumps.

     

    As said though, a lot of recommendations will come from your tank size and goals. Overall I'm glad I made the switch and I'm sure you will be too!
