    RO/DI Water Pressure Woes

    Got my new 5 stage system from BRS today, and it's all hooked up. Saddle valve coming straight off the main line, however my pressure is only 20 psi. I would think it would be much higher being connected where the water comes in. Any thoughts? Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

    Decorator crab molted?

    Just wondering if my crab is dead, or molted. Notice a bunch of red leg hermits hanging out by his shell. Flipped it over, trap door open.

    Where am I in my cycle?

    Just setup my 14g tank recently. 02/02 I got some rock from a fellow member. Most was dead, but he gave me some live stuff from his sump. I scrubbed and rinsed the dead stuff really good. I put all rock together in a 5 gallon bucket with a heater and flow. 02/04 Got some sand from a fellow...

    Fragging CandyCane

    I've got some really vibrant green CandyCane coral I want to frag. I bought it last year with just 3 heads, it's up to like 25+. There seems to really only be 1 area where the tissue isn't connected/webbed between branches. Is that pretty much the only place I can frag it? I don't want to cut...

    Scooter and Lawnmower

    Will a scooter and lawnmower get along? I've got a 30 gallon, and I'll probably move the scooter to my 14 once it's established. Thoughts?

    Tiny Snails

    Well, I'm guessing I have 100 of these little guys in my BioCube. They only seem to come out at night. Could these be offspring of my trochids snails?

    OpTiCz's Office Cube

Everyone has been super nice here :) Anyway, I'm going to be putting together a small cube for my office. My goal is something that can fit on a desk or small table, will support coral/fish...

    Source for decent frag plugs?

    Anyone know where to buy plugs in the NW burbs? Sea Escapes sells them for a buck a piece :( Also, I'd like to find some that aren't an eye sore. These look cool imho. http://www.saltysupply.com/CeramEco-Ceramic-1-Frag-Plug-Disc-20-Count-p/ce1111.htm Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

    Need suggesting for RO/DI Setup

    So here's the goal. I want to mount an RO/DI WITH drinking water unit in my laundry room. Something like THIS maybe? It would be really nice to have that also supply the ice maker. The house water supply comes in there, and goes straight into a water softener. Going from there, it goes to the...

    Howdy

    Hi everyone. I've been into the hobby for about a year. I've met some really cool people through other forums, and really enjoy learning about coral, fish, etc. It's been fun. Thanks for having this site specifically for the Chicago land area.
