Bruby: yea im hoping not to have flow issues but well see; did you have microbubbles in yours? if so, how'd you get rid of them?

CRW Reef:I worry everyday about that, i like your idea of cleaning regularly and replacing annually ill definitely be following that advice.

i had an issue with micro bubbles when i added my check valves. they tend to trap air so i had to keep removing and making sure the pump/return line was fully primed . great job on the build. looks top notch

You can use a swing check valve, they seem more reliable than the spring ones. They are easy to repair and might be cheaper than buying one every year (a few bucks)

I do occasionally get micro bubbles, not sure where they come from, they always go away on their own. I was in Vegas last month and went to ATMs shop. They had one out there. They just used PVC out of the bulkhead so that they could redirect the water flow where they needed it. An ATO is a must, I go thru about 4 1/2 gallons on RO per day in a 46 gallon tank. Looks awesome!!

Bruby: yea the top off volume is nuts, jealous of your trip that show is awesome.

Suzanne: Very sweet of you to say, thank you.

Dbarnes: Always seems easier and faster on paper.

Sorry for the delay, been crazy busy. Tanks doing great, evaporation is fun. Did get ich from a fish i got at the store which killed my blenny and the tang i bought, sucked. I heard if you run no fish for 5 weeks though it goes away so i can try fish again here soon. Anyway, here's some pics.

For ich you need to go fishless for a minimum of 8 weeks.

 

[jbanman14]

Cant get them to upload right but photobucket lets you see them all. Man 8 weeks, thats cruddy. Rather be safe than get it again though, thanks for the info.
