    Refillable DI cartridges?

    well,doubt it is the container,if it were it,it would have started smelling long before 10 years were up...it may have just been a faulty batch of DI resin....I'd be a little leery of using the water it produced without at least running it back through some carbon,even with that I'd wonder if it...

    Refillable DI cartridges?

    Dave,I use the BRS refill DI too and have never had smelly water.... what kind of container do you use to store your RO/DI water in ? could it be it causing the smell somehow ?

    I got me a WOODY

    thank you,if you were in southeastern Ky. I could hook you up with the glass company I got mine from but it would cost a fortune to ship it to you from here,mine was 1/2"x24"x94" tempered for $197....regular plate glass would have been less,but I wanted it tempered and the edges smooth so it...

    Two types of Monti caps next to each other

    thank you,it ain't no fun if you can't show off just a little LOL I also have a green milli in a purple cap,but it was purely an accident,I thought the purple cap was dead and it was just coralline growing over it's skeleton,it hadn't grown any in over a year,after gluing the milli on top of it...

    Two types of Monti caps next to each other

    that looks nice.... my sour apple cap seems to be encrusting over my orange cap where they touch but it doesn't seem to be harming either in any way here was just after adding the sour apple cap above the orange cap and about 10 months later as you can tell,the orange is much faster...

    TV show "Tanked" on Animal Planet = FAIL

    I do agree that more could be said about proper care and handling of the livestock,and it being on animal planet,you'd thing it would be mandatory,but I agree somewhat with Kevin too,it's not Bretts responsibility to educate people but AP should since it is a show where animals will be kept in...

    MH vs T5 for biocube 29

    I like MH for the shimmer but I'd go with T5 and replace a bulb or 2 to get to color you want,maybe add 3 or 4 bright white LEDs to get the shimmer

    I thought they were way over priced before....I just got the MP60 from Detane......after using it a day or 2,I've reconsidered my first thoughts... the MP60 is about $700 new,and that's a lot of money for a small powerhead.... I just installed a CL using a Reeflo Hammerhead pump with 5800ghp...

    Maxi-Jet Sure Flow Mod

    I had 4 of 'em in my 360g on a naturalwave wave maker,they are great at moving water and mine were quiet except for the restart rattle that they sometimes would do,but they're not designed to be used with a wave maker... the magnets have tiny rubber pads on them,make sure that they've not came...

    RBTA Problems

    I would suggest that you move it to a quarantine tank until it heals after you cut it....if it does die,at least it wouldn't wreak your system,but I've read that people do it all the time,I'd be afraid to myself....mine just split on it's own :D
