Did I kill my new RO membrane?

So I changed out all the filters on my RO/DI unit the other day including the 2.5 year old RO membrane.

Now I get barely a trickle out of the RO output (permeate).

I have 80-85 psi coming...

I had an ever-so-subtle hum coming from my 1260 that drove me nuts until I figured out it was caused by the grey plastic intake shroud. It's completely unnecessary if you're running it externally. ...

You don't have to bother watching water levels with the surface skimmer - it has a floating heating.

It's a neat device that I used on my old 46 gallon as a jury-rigged intake for the Mag5 that...

I believe what SeanT means is that in addition to the swishing around you need to CHANGE the water on a regular basis for true rock cooking.

Why would you need anything more than 600 gph with only a 29 gallon sump? You'll have serious micro-bubble issues and your skimmer won't get much chance to pull out much gunk before the water's back...

Stand question

I've got a DIY 72"x24" footprint stand made with 2x4s topped with 3/4" plywood. After putting the tank on (72x24x19) I did the "paper test" by trying to slide a sheet of paper underneath to see...

Very true, but most people probably wouldn't mind paying a few extra bucks rather than coming home to a flooded room.

I guess my view is if you can track down a used Lifereef go for it.

Iwasaki 15K especially if you have an electronic ballast and don't want to have to have actinic supplementation.

Aqualine Blushke 13K is also good if you have a magnetic ballast and actinics.

The Herbie method isn't radical at all. It's pretty much the stock as-is megaflow without the durso-kit, but with one pipe shorter than the other and a gate valve added on the bottom.

SEs generally have a PAR advantage over DEs because DEs all require the extra UV shield.

Just how much PAR difference between T5HO and PC?

Anyone ever take PAR/PPFD readings from comparable PC and T5HO fixtures?
