My wife prefer that way, says it looks more orginal, hehe.

Tnks for the advise!

Tried to run skimmer earlier on but but think use too much strength, spoil the pump.

Need advises from your bros!

[ReDDeviLs]

kh 107!?

[vdfne]

kh 107!?

Yup, cfm 107.4. Just test again.

Took 6 drops before water turns back to yellow.

Issit too high? Any advise?

[KennethK]

Kh MUST be maintain abt 7 - 10 at the most. Anyway 1st time hear kh so high.

Btw that skimmer in ur sump looks like a weipro to me and oso get a temperate controller if not ur electricity bill will be high. The noise is horrible kicking in and out

[ReDDeviLs]

yea 1st time i heard so high b4 on kH..

[zipp86]

i think u are reading your KH wrongly bro, anyway six drops is 6dKH. so there you have it, your KH is 6! oh ya, my advice to you is repair your chiller or get a new one, how you going to run a chiller without any thermostat???
