and how much did you buy that "crap product" for?

forget liao..but definitely less than 100....bought at petmart....

yeah lor...

have so many fishes....cannot keep nice nice sps....

stuck with my lps...

[roidan]

anyway, i used the dosing pump to feed the DI unit and then try to adjust the flow rate by putting a flow valve ....end up the water seep out of the canister slowly..even though very much tightened...

so much pressure from a 5w peristaltic pump.....no wonder can pump up to 10feet....5watt pump 10feet....

so i have decided to tee-off from a pump when my calcium reactor comes

anyway, tested the water from the DI canister, nitrates 0, phosphates 0.....but......dunno how long it can last....wait a few buckets have to change canister, then this DI unit not cost effective liao...

[roidan]

just collected....

havent fix yet...

[roidan]

the base joint ...

[Joe_P]

Very impressive.....

Excellent workmanship.

hi bro ai[k²]wan

that's where u are wrong, the real hardcore ones are the ones that never post

NIce Ca Reactor use for the clam tank?

[roidan]

hey bro, where did you get that from?

from a fellow alumni whom i actually know briefly before this forum even....din know about it till he told me

[roidan]

NIce Ca Reactor use for the clam tank?

use for whole tank..hehee

but mainly to care for my clams....height around 60 odd cm including pump...have to put outside tank/sump in the room behind..

[roidan]

cant decide from which pump/hose to tee off from...so bought these 2 t junctions

[DeepBlue]

I bought that too....damn ex for a piece of plastic

[roidan]

bro...ask u ah..

if use that to tee off to the room behind the tank...need to tee off from a strong pump or weak pump will do?

[Anthony]

is there any Tjoint 1" split to 2 x 3/4"

[jd_n]

All i can say is Rodian owns the ammo dump. Ammo nvr run out. Envy!!

[DeepBlue]

I was told by a couple of experts to tee it off my main pump or the chiller pump....to create pressure as well, if not reactor closeup pressurised liaoz...the weak pumps bo strength

ammo never runs out? hmm...maybe coz i am a fan of arsenal?

[roidan]

hmm....

dun think i see before...maybe other bros can let u know if they see it?

[roidan]

ok...here are the pumps i can choose to tee-off...

1) eheim 1262 main return 3500l/hr

2) sicce extrema chiller pump 2500l/hr

3) sicce extrema clam tank pump 2500l/hr

4) mebner p6000 skimmer pump 6000l/hr

5) eheim 1250 UV/skimmer pump 1200l/hr

all flow rates are assuming zero head loss...

which one will you tee-off from?

[FuEl]

I would choose either 3500l/h or 2500l/h. 6000l/hr would be an overkill. Imagine the pressure in the Ca reactor..and at the t-off joint.....esp if your drip rate slow.

1200l/h seems too slow. A tee off from it would lead to a great fall in efficiency.

I'm using a T-off from a 2700l/hr pump..works for me.. effluent around 54dKH and calcium around 710ppm.

Think the main consideration is safety here.
