Have you checked pH in the tank and Ca reactor effluent recently?

marinelife,

That's much too complicated for my setup as well. I already have the topoff system working (has been for 2.5 years). I just need a new mechanical float valve to control gravity fed...

I am not dosing kalk (calcium reactor:)). It's getting clogged by growth of some biomass. I'm not quite sure where it's getting nutrients from as that part is not submerged in the sump and the...

Isn't the Ultralife one the thing that controls a pump or power head? I want just a simple float valve that will work with my gravity fed system.

Best float valve?

I've been using a Knopp float valve in my sump for my topoff system for about 2.5 years now (I've got a 30 gallon trash can that feeds RO/DI by gravity through a hose to the sump where the float...

60" bulbs are 140 watts vs. 110 watts for the 48" bulbs. So with 3 x 60", you're looking at 420 watts total vs. 440 watts total for the 4 48" bulbs. The advantage of 60" bulbs is that they will...

I clean mine once a week but should clean it more. I find that when the collection cup is clean, it skims like crazy. Once it gets nasty, I don't get nearly the volume. It fills up the cup itself...
