I have a couple of RO units for my aquarium (automated top-off unit, and unit in garage for water changes). One of the problems that I have had is knowing when to change the RO membrane. I just got off the phone with Spectrapure, and they just started to sell a Dual probe meter which helps to...

Can a PS generate current into the sump that it is sitting in ? Last night I was able to put my hand into my sump, now, 8 hours of running time later, I get a mild, but nonetheless unpleasant shock that does not seem to discharge or kick my GFCI. Any ideas ? I don't think troubleshooting this is...

I've *finally* changed out the lighting over one of my tanks and added 400 W MH. My problem is that the bulb will fire for about 2 hours and then shut down. After 10-12 minutes it turns back on again, then goes off about 5-8 minutes later, repeating this cycle. I've done some research and...

Hello group, Individual wants to trade 2 skimmers locally, for one air driven-in sump skimmer with pump/valve(s), one is an Oceanic series six external/in sump venturi skimmer, it is intact and in vgc except for the fractionation cup lid, way too large for my 50 gal reef, the other is an Aquarium...

Can anyone tell me about some good web sites on invertebrates other than coral. I am interested in shrimp, starfish and other reef safe animals for my tank. Vicki

I am somewhat new to the newsgroup. I am looking for advice on a good skimmer to get for a 75 gallon tank that will be fish with live rock. The local stores try to sell the seaclone, but I get the feeling that it is not well liked. Second, how can you measure the performance of a...
