    R O water

    If you on tank water like me... think of installing an accumulator so your pump does not have to kick in every few minutes which will be hurting the pump/electric motor they don't like starting and stopping continuously. It will also help with the throughput through the ro unit. Also remember that you have diffirent rated ro membranes ... typically the higher flow rate the more expensive.
  2. I think you meant 1ml per 100 litre unless you meant dose it personaly via oral intake
  3. Okay,... and who squirts the left over of the contents of the test solution (in the syringe) down the drain after you finished testing... I dont :oops: not sure if I am going to either.
  4. Wasp awesome... just as i was pondering what to do to set mine up
  5. Hmm like the look of those pumps... think you have started something puttputt..
  6. May contain phosphate, I have two drums that have been left soaking and in the sun and rain etc... still leeches po4. As I run saltwater this is no good...
  7. Nice pics . unidentified fish looks like Red Moki. Wonder if a spearo had a go at him many moons back. Which is naughty as they are way to easy so are left alone.
  8. Hmm thanks. reckon the iv line thing might be the go then as the normal airline tap keeps clogging.
  9. AAAAAaaarrrrghhhh.... frustrating the cr..p out of me. :evil: Okay tantrum over, share your secrets plse. I have 7l tupperware container with an airline joiner through the tupperware. Used the soldering iron method to put it through, that worked well. Very short piece of airline hose and small airline tap. To set it to drip rate is a mare, I turn it all the way in and then open it slowly. Some days i get two days of good drip rate, then it completely goes awry. I do not have any hose on the outlet side. So my issue seems to either be hardware, setup or incorrect way of setting the drip rate. So what do you other guys that use kalkwasser use? Chrs
  10. My tank is newly established and found similar issue, I have a marine aquarium encyclopedia that states this is normal for a new tank. Make sure your other water parameters are correct.... ca, mg, po4 etc Mine slowly started coming right and ph slowly increased after a month or two.
  11. time to start tweaking those streams :-?
  12. I Have Laguna 6 ... cant hear it at all

    plug in RCD's

    Suphew,... swap ya for a new one
  14. Surface skimmer takes the crud off the surface of the water... as lots of crud ends up on the surface it is an efficient way of removing and keeping the surface clean. An overflow weir can effectively be a surface skimmer. it always removes the top part of the water column. Protein skimmer extracts organic material out of the water by creating lots of water bubbles and the organic material sticks the water bubbles. The top bubbles have more organics attached to it and is collected by a cup and then thrown away.
  15. Hey Krama, you been quiet, Been away? Time for you to pay me a visit, I have things up and running...
