What is your pump pressure to blow up the reactor? Where did it let go?

It let go at the rim, I tested the chamber at 20 psi. I did not think the liter meter would produce that much pressure.

humidity Is a problem, But it has alway been a problem for me.

It's on Rubbermaid's web page.

http://www.rcpworksmarter.com/rcp/pr...ch=stock+tanks

They moved it to the commercial section

They're called stock tanks and can be found at most Feed and Seed Stores and Farm Equipment stores

Hmm, this is something I'd like to do hopefully soon (depends how much I can stop procrastinating on this very important project I have, non reef related ). I have one question way back on the early pages you had a whole tank shot with everything resting in the sand, I noticed a few clams in there, obviously they aren't going to be fragged, I doubt you're going to try to spawn them, so what are they doing in there? Filterfeeders to keep the water cleaner? Or hoping to grow them out and sell them as larger ones?

just curious..is the surface what you are reffering to when "skimming heavy" or is it something to do with your skimmer?

i was wondering how many square feet it takes to set something like this up, including the extra space in the center for plumbing, the sump, and room to walk around the permimeter. seems like at least 200-250 square feet..? is that close?

Hi, any chance you could show more detail about how the tubs are sitting on the blocks? Do you have any updated pics or information?
