  1. any idea where I can install auto top off for my sump. I has lots of water evaporate. water level in DT and skimmer area has stable for few weeks but the return area has lose about 2 gallons every 2 or 3 days. I wonder that I should install auto top off in the return area? I already bought RO/DI unit.
  2. the test for KH is above 214 ppm.. should be 240 ppm, if my assume.. That is too high? Ph is range about 7.6
  3. your tank look familiar, I saw the tv show from The Learning Channel, its name of show is While you were out. Must be **** look so nice tank!
  4. What is the number PPM for KH ideal ppm for reef?. I use aquarium Pharm test kit. I just bought it from River city.
  5. Hi... I don't have Ro/Di, because I lease the rent property, Management dont want any object t on the property. I bought the purifed water 5 gallons jugs from Lowes and Distilled water from wal-mart, not RO machine, bottle ready. I have CS skimmer and one powerhead that I have is 120 gph. wait for backordered.
  6. The tank just step up last month ago. there is no inhabitants. I added distilled water for top. the water losing about 1 or 1 and half gallons per weeks. water change with mixed salt. There are green algae grew a lot. not serious, just like 1/8 inches. No feeding, there is nobody in tank just 35 lbs live rocks and indio-pacfic sand from Ocean homes Etc. I doesn't have alk test, wait til this friday, I will get the test kit. I only have Nitrate, nitrite, ammonia. Today, I took test, they are all 0, but Ph is low.
  7. I have tried to pull PH to ideal 8.2, right now my PH is somewhere below 7.6, I can't figure what the point for PH, my test kit is Aquarium Pharm. I can't tell what is exact. I use Ocean Pure salt mixer. currently I use SeaGel, Carbon and Phosguard. because I have problem with brown diatom. I using purifed water from Lowes Jug. I keep 10 to 25 percent water change.
  8. I think the place is good is the area near Slaughter and the south of Austin, there are starting to expand. I think the best place is south Austin and can drive to TSD about 10 to 15 approx minutes away. there will be no problem, TSD will offer the Bus for your daughter to transporting to TSD school. whatever I live in rent property that I have see the place.

    Hello All.

    Welcome to ARC, Hope everything goes well with your process for adopting little deaf girl. There will be so wonderful in your life. Texas School of the Deaf is a great school. honestly I haven't chance to check it out but heard of this school. Great idea to move and close to school for her and you can participate her school activities. I am deaf too. I haven't officially introduce myself to ARC.
  10. I think about going to have sump for my reef tank. I looked at power filter and CSS 65, look uncomfortable and produce too many bubbles whatever I did added to full water almost topside and still bubbles. I think that I would want to have sump instead of HOB on the tank. I think about to have 20 gallon tank, and I need your input to how mesaured baffle for sump. I think about to have small refrigum and skimmer and return. the length is 30 if I am correct? I haven't buy the 20 gallon yet, the store were out of stock. I have looking other store. how much inches will be apart from baffle to other baffle? baffle size is should be 12 inch length and 8 inch width? Should be about 5 baffles? I will drawing the drafts then will post it this evening.
