6.9 dkh is close to nsw of 7 to 8 dkh - I don't see why that should be a problem. I run mine in the 7 to 9 range. While the Ca is high, I have not ever heard of that causing any problem, but the...

I agree with Reef Sponger, although it would be more satisfying to see the whole column filled with bubbles, the H&S are very effective skimmers. I replaced my 12 inch dia ER with a 250A H&S (10...

Nice looking shovel, show us pics when you get the tins back and installed. I'm looking forward to getting my Big Dog prosport on the road when the snow melts!

I agree with you Boomer, that it -may or even probably- is more accurate around zero, but it might not be. If the company isn't willing to state what accuracy is at different scales (as is common...

In addition, look at the accuracy of these devices. Not very good - don't be fooled by the resolution. You can have a device with .0001 resolution, and 1.0 accuracy. I got the Medusa unit, and...

Hmmm, that was one of the deciding factors for me getting an H&S A250 instead of a Deltec 702. Maybe the aquabee is a light enough pump not to need it, but I hope that they are not dropping that...

Also, if it is leaking at the bulkhead gasket, install them with rtv silicone - no more problems. It really should not be hard to cure these leaks, just drop the water level, clean very well, and...

If you can afford it, and fit it, I would recommend the A250. If not, then the a200 x 3f001 will definitely do the job for you. However.......the advantages of the a250: 2 quieter pumps (less to...

Absolutely, Matt. Actually I already have! I set up another tank, and got a litermeter for it as well. They may seem expensive, but are totally reliable, and long lasting in my experience.

I replaced my ER12-2RC with an H&S A250 because the uniseals leaked after 5 or 6 years of use. Would have been fine in a sump, but I ran mine externally. The fact that my H&S outperforms the ER is...

It literally took weeks on my CS12-2 but then it was set and forget. I think it varies due to amount of residual oils on the skimmer, and individual tank chemistries.

Yes, you could use one of the shut-off collection containers, and it will fill up, but it won't shut down the skimmer, so you might as well just drain it into an open container. If you are worried...
