by double seals you mean a gasket inside and out? What's "the correct way"?
good deal, especially if the bulbs are good. New cost on all that would be over $300.
wow that's a GREAT price on the SpectraPure units. Just picked up a MaxCap RO/DI 180gpd for less than I paid for my non-metered generic 100gpd unit...
ok so I need to make a refugium/sump combo for the 180g reef tank I'm putting together. This is the design I've worked out. Please let me know what...

turn off ALL the pumps and filtration for about 5 minutes. If the particles all float up and the water clears it's micro bubbles. If the water...
So I purchased a second Vortech Mp40w for my 180... but am curious as to how to set it up... Haven't yet had 2 powerful PH's in one tank. Should...
