I have the long spine urchins… They're super cool, but nothing in my tank can be cool enough to eat multiple zoo frags!

Yeah, I bought them and was told they were "reef safe" but apparently they're 95% safe and I got the 5% that isnt… Gawd its so irritating!! Did you have the long spine urchins or the short stubby ones?

WTF!? Im pretty pissed off right now. I bought a bunch of zoa frags at MAX, some were pretty awesome too! But my freakin urchins have eaten several of them already!! WTF!? I didnt think Urchins ate coral, especially complete zoa polyps!! Now Im thinking I need to get rid of them ASAP! before I...

Haha, yeah I think ill pass. I can barely afford to go to MAX Hahaha

"flush line" Can you specify on that? Im new to this RO/DI system. Ive always gotten water at the LFS, so Im still learning. I only got the system to try and save some money.

So you mean like a "piggy back" membrane kit? Like this: http://www.marinedepot.com/SpectraPure_Piggy_Back_Kits_90_GPD_Cartridges_Membranes_for_RO_DI_Water_Filter_Systems-SpectraPure-YSP5151-FIRORAAD-vi.html

No swimming pool here. Im thinking about running the waste water line thru my backyard as a form of irrigation. I just never realized how much freakin water was actually going to "waste."

I just started running my new, but used RO/DI system. Im trying to figure out what to do about all the waste water, but what about all the add-ons? Permeate Pump? Booster Pump? Etc Are they worth it? The write up on the Spectrapure website says that the Permeate pump will reduce the amount...

Ive had my Reef Octopus running for just 3 months now and I gotta say… This is the best skimmer I have ever owned! And quiet too! I love it! Highly recommend this one!!

So I guess they aren't kidding when they call it "waste" water, huh?… Haha I guess I should clarify, that my system is used, but is in perfect working condition with two new filters, etc… Bought it from my local FS. This is my kit apparently: http://www.spectrapure.com/St_drink_p2.htm

Sorry, some of us haven't won the lottery yet and have to pinch our pennies I remember when I used to make enough money to throw away some and not remember how or where I spent it. Times have changed. NORMAL people make less money now, yet everything is going up in price. I didn't intend to...

I also have this guy, but I dont know what it does… And this is obviously another gauge of how much water is going in or out. I dont know how its supposed to read either.

Well I got my presale tickets for $10 when I was out in Long Beach last weekend. So Im going… Even though MadMax wants me to stay home… Haha My problem with the price was that $15x2 = $30… $30 and then trying to pick up some frags or other nice items for a decent price suddenly isnt a good deal...

What does a booster pump look like?

So I just got this RO system, and Im not sure if its working properly. Its a 3 canister Spectra system. The water is flowing thru the sytem fine, I guess, but its coming out of the third line, the "dirty" water line a lot more than I expected. I feel like Im wasting waaay more water than I had...

Yeah, I really like it too. If there's ever a leak the electronics should be safe, especially since the bottom portion has a wall across the back also. Those two pieces are actually not attached either. Makes moving it if I have to do that again a lot easier. Not to mention it would never fit...

Thanks guys! Its gonna be a lengthy process for sure!

Well if you think so I for one am not that impressed by any of it. Im just there for coral frags. LOL

Ive had my tank for about 2.5 years now. I recently moved and all I gotta say is what a PITA!! Moving a heavy *** 100 gallon tank isnt easy, and moving it from upstairs is even harder. Along with that the original base I had for my tank was made out of freakin particle board! Water plus particle...

Yeah, ouch is right. Its an expensive hobby, but its even more expensive when you have to practically start over!! But I love having my tank!
