Get a John Guest tee, a 1/4" JG tube by 1/4" female iron pipe adapter and a 1/4" back mount pressure gauge. Thats what I have on my incoming line. I think you can buy just this setup from most of the RC sponsors that sell RO/DI systems.

could you take a picture of it ?

What a AZ describes is the contents of our add on pressure gauge kit. This would take all of about 3 minutes to install. The quick connect tee goes in the tube between the last prefilter and the "in" port on the RO membrane housing.

Edward,

I think pressure is pretty important. I've lived in several rented houses over the last 5 years, and the pressure has gone from 25 psi to 100psi. At each installation, my waste water was a stream, and the product water varied greatly (volume/time wise). My last domicile in the USA had water pressure of 100psi. (Let's talk about water hammer and landlords...)

Now I'm on a well, and the water is 30psi. I bought a booster pump before we even moved in. I'll never go back to running a RO unit on standard household pressure. The difference is night and day.

Is it possible that your water pressure has dropped in some manner? Or did you determine that the problem was a clogged prefilter?

Sorry if this was covered already.

-E.

Thanks for the info. guys on the pressure guages. A while after I made that post I realized that the RO/DI system for my FW planted system has an inline incoming pressure guage and it's adapted with an elbow to a JG "T". The guage isn't very good quality though.

Sorry for the thread derail guys!!

Edward, do you like your multifan?
Does it do the job?

GSMguy · #**407** 08/23/2007, 04:27 PM

come on edward lets see the sps color shift pics

i miss your updates.

andbigdaddy2 · #**408** 08/23/2007, 07:37 PM

Did I miss it or did you tell where you got the spotlights?

samson78945 · #**409** 08/23/2007, 10:37 PM

wow! i love the rimless tank. everything is coming along very nicely!

invincible569 · #**410** 08/24/2007, 06:36 AM

Thanks again everyone for all your help.

fisheebill, i like them.. but only as a backup. I would still like to have something stronger. The reason why i like them is because it looks great over the rimless tank and doesnt give it a rough look. If the fans were a lot stronger, I would of purchased another set.

GSM, I will see if i can get some pics.

bigdaddy, you didnt miss it.

samson, thank you very much.

Edward, this stag is just stunning!

Would you happen to have the source for that photo?? I would love to read his system specs. Those colours are just...

Oh, and please keep your- and the many Japanese photos coming

Cheers.

Looks like an a. prostrata?

invincible569 · #**415** 08/25/2007, 04:28 PM

Josh, I was looking for the source, but cant seem to find it. Just so you know, there is a trick to getting those colors. Im waiting for my corals to grow out to show how this is done.

I have so many more pictures.. i will add more later.

thirschmann · #**416** 08/25/2007, 04:33 PM

now you have us waiting for another big secret... damn

fisheebill · #**417** 08/25/2007, 08:44 PM

Can't wait for that trick!

erics3000 · #**418** 08/25/2007, 10:43 PM

Wow I must have lost the link to your thread. I just got caught up. Everything is looking Great. Got to love the rimless...

This tank stands out too:

Thanks everyone!

invincible569 · #**421** 08/26/2007, 09:50 AM

I thought this was a great shot! Love the width of this aquarium.

majesticangelfish · #**422** 08/26/2007, 10:03 AM

Agreed, great photo mate

adddo · #**423** 08/28/2007, 01:55 PM

Very

TRITON1 · #**424** 08/28/2007, 02:26 PM

Very nice. What is that red colored coral that you can see in the reflection of the glass (on the right side on the sandbed)? I want to say its a brain, but it almost looks like a red version of a yellow leather.

fisheebill · #**425** 08/28/2007, 04:09 PM

That is a great shot!
The width is amazing!
