MH on timer
I have got 2x 250W electronic metal halides and trying to firgure out the best way to wire them to a timer. I hear there are a couple of problems with some timers; unable to switch fast enough for the ballast and unable to handle the inital current a ballast draws. Was planning to run a standard timer to a relay which would feed the MHs but can't find a suitable relay. Do you know of any heavy duty timers capable of handling this? Or is there a better way to setup MH's with a timer? Thanks

Show us your hard to keep corals
Reef, is that a type of sun coral? Does it need daily feeding?
- Nice big tank.

additives - what do you dose?
How is it any different from the two part system. Instead of adding a teaspoon of Calcium Chloride to water, you add Calcium Hydroxide. Dump this in a reservoir and it will dose throughout the week. Then at the end of the week if the limewater didn't keep up, add a small amount of the two part system.

additives - what do you dose?
Thats kinda my strategy but with limewater. Topup with lime water, increasing concentration as demand grows. Once it is at full strength, use 2 part mix to keep levels up.

APF600 feed pump
Can tee it but there is no real use for the excess flow in my sump. Might have to get me another gadget to use the extra flow
-
APF600 feed pump
The skimmer's recommended water throughput is 800L/hr. Eheim 1248 = 600L/hr Eheim 1250 = 1200L/hr There will only be around 400mm of head. Which pump should I use? 1248 with a valve on the skimmer output for backpressure to lift the water level 1250 with a valve to throttle it back a bit KP
