I use the same one as theclark. I don't use it very often but it always matches the inline unit that came with my RODI.

For a lot of people that generator would work great. 4 hours on one gallon of gas is not to bad at all. For myself I don't have anything I need to keep alive in my sump. So personally in a power outage I would just move my heater into the display tank and then run one power head. If your in a similiar situation you might be able to cut the return pump completely and make the generator last even longer. IME if all that is in your sump is equipment or a refugium for algae that can go quite a long time without aeration or proper temp. HTH

These are the two shops I shop at, almost exclusively. Upscales 19295 SW Martinazzi Ave, Tualatin, OR 97062 Cuttlefish and Coral 3881 N Mississippi Ave, Portland, OR 97227

I'll take um. I still haven't seen your system as it is.

Thanks Sea LOL That is actually the only copy I have of that photo. I pulled it off my photobucket, never thought I would use it for anything. If it is to small I do have some resizing software that can increase it a bit. Just let me know how much.

IME it depends on what you want to keep in there, and how much flow you want out of your return. I used a maxijet 1200 as a return on a 30g for years and loved it. Back then it was one of the few pumps you could turn on and off at will (I was turning off for feeding 3x a day) and that ran silent. If your not looking for much flow this is a cheaper option that IME ran very well. If your looking for a bit more flow I would decide between the Eheim and a DC pump (I like the Jeabo even over my reef octopus). Eheims are beutiful little quiet tanks that will always work. I have never had an issue with one of mine, my oldest is about 10y IIRC. I switched from the Eheim to the Jeabo 9000 or something like (it's the blue one) and for the 6 months or so I have been running that pump I have nothing but great things to say about that, but it might be to much flow for what your looking for. I would factor in what you want to keep in the tank, if you want additional power heads, what the head loss is, and then is there room in your plumbing for something like a SCWD (depending on what you want to keep) or a sea swirl, and then size appropriatley. IMO being a fan of strong random water movement I would go big on the return and ditch the powerheads. Oh and the Jeabo is onsale at Aquacave for $80 off right now.... just sayin. About to order me a back up.

Tilapia is commonly used for aquaponics. You can feed the inedible parts of the plants to the fish this way to. I have messed around with some hydropionics (tomatoes, and other foods) but never took it to the level of aquaponics although I did research it for awhile. Just got to the point that I already had enough fish tanks, and I didn't really want to eat the tilapia as it seems weird to eat fish you grow to me. For our hobby I bet if one wanted to incorporate aquaponics it could be done with fresh water shrimp and fresh water species of algae that could then be fed to the fish tank. The plants on the other hand, that is up to you. . . I like tomatoes myself. Hydro is fairly easy to do IME.

Awesome! You'd have to go fresh water though, maybe with talapia. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not IME. Been using it for years Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've tried 5 led light fixtures now. The T247 is my favorite of them all. Sean- thanks for the tip on the sale, I might have to pick up a couple at that price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thomas, can you email me a screenshot of why it won't let you log on and I'll take a look. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like RC and R2R. I also belong to about 15 other sites or so, all for different reasons, I've been a mod for 4. National is good for some things, local is good for something's. I can't hang out with my buddies on RC unless we meet up at a convention, or rent a beach with the other club. Local is awesome for tons of things, but all forums have there place IMO.

Got a pic with normal lighting not just actnic? Many people tell me I need a brain

that is good news. Great step in the adventures. So... when is the last night at Moloko's?

I'd check the container store. If your. It going to look through it any food safe container will work. You can put a bulkhead in plastic just fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is no way I would ever nuke rock personally. The bacteria and micro fauna that grow on liverock over the years are invaluable IMO. Those colonies don't replace themselves in a month, or even a year. The older my tanks have gotten the easier they are to care for IME. I know nuking rock was very popular back int he 80's and early 90's but I personally don't think it is a wise move IME. IMO if your worried about the flat worms the most radical thing to do would be to remove the liverock, put it in a tub with something like flatworm exit and tank water, then remove that rock, leaving behind the treated water and put that rock in the display. You can dip the corals on transfer as well. Treat the sand in the same manor. Seems like a ton of work, but your already going to have everything out of the tank and likely in a bucket or Rubbermaid (which I have a ton extra if you need some). Then start the new tank with new water. That would be about as radical as I would recommend going. I might toss some prime in there on day one and two after the livestock move. What I personally would actually do would be to use a small guage hose and siphon out all the flatworms out of the 125g that you can. Really get in there. Remove as many as possible. If your worried about water loss you can attach a micron bag to the end of the hose and put it in your sump so your not actually draining any water (plus it is kinda cool to see the hundreds of little buggers in there). Then I would just move the livestock and start with as much new salt water as you siphoned out in the new tank. Then get a coris wrasse. IME I don't think flatworms are that big of a deal. They are fairly easy to maintain with maintenance on regular water changes and the fish that are predators of them are fish that I like to keep. Let me know if you want help setting the tank up. I'm still in your area pretty regularly, and I think I still owe ya one
