I have a precision marine protein skimmer and the pump crapped out on me today when I got home. I run my co2 scrubber off that so I'm worried about my ph and I've already been battling high nitrates so I need it fixed asap. It's an rlp 1000 and I am desperately trying to find a replacement for...
Does anyone have any suggestions for a high quality pump model (maybe Iwaki or something similar) that has similar output to a Vectra L1?
I'm looking for a pump model that is very durable long term and known for trouble free use.
I am running two 230's on my tank with the advanced controller. Both pumps are running in "Random" mode. When I adjust the speed of both pumps up to 100% they will run for about a minute and the controller will shut off. Last night it took my 5 minutes to get the controller to come back on, I...
I'm putting together a 20G Innovative Marine Nuvo reef, and I'm trying to decide between 1/2" and 3/4" bulkheads for the return flow. I plan on having 2 returns into the tank. Is there a "standard" size for a tank this small? Thanks in advance.
Welcome!
Hello all, I am what I would consider to be somewhat of an expert on moving a reef tank. I say this because due to the way my college works I move every 3 months......gasp! yes yes I know bring on the nay sayers! "That's bad for your reef they need stability!".......and yes your right...

Hi all,
This is my first large tank with a sump. All my past tanks had hob filters or in tank sumps.
I really want to get the Red Sea reefer, but idk how much I would need to spend on a decent led light for the tank. Also I need at least a 790gph return pump
The tank is going to run me 1700 so...
Hi!
I've created a sump design and would like some feedback on it. Pardon me for cramping the drawing a bit. Hope it's readable enough and not an eyesore. It has following 4 chambers:
1) Protein Skimmer
2) Ceramic Rings, Pot Scrubbers(Scrubbies Affectionately) and maybe Activated Carbon
3)...
Hi!
My first post here. I've got a few queries. Hope someone experienced would help out.
1) I've already got Chaetos macroalgae for my refugium, but my sump tank isn't ready yet. Now, I might not be able to collect it till the next weekend. I've kept it in a bucket of saltwater. Will it survive...

Does any one use Aqua Lifter for dosing pump? Especially Calcium reactor pump? I'm having trouble setting it up properly, even when the power is cut off, the pump is still running and further pumping water through. Mine is plugged to an Apex EB8 and it continued to running even when the...
Hi guys and gals!
It's time to add another section to my skimmer mechanics. We all have faced problems at some point with our skimmers. Sometimes we tend to overlook the reasons as to why. Skimmers are basic functions of mechanics and fluid dynamics.
I covered the first area of inspection...
Does anybody know how to calibrate the Ecotech Vectra M1 pump so I can use the feeding mode.. If you own the M1 OR the L1, let me know how you did yours, it would be HIGHLY appercaited..
I recently upgraded to 1" piping and a 3rd reactor, so I swapped out my M1 for a L1. Amazing pump to say the least. It's virtually silent! It is 7 months old and everything is in absolutely mint condition. Includes all original parts and will be shipped in a L1 box. Price: $250 shipped...
