It's all operational now and falling into place. I had a bit of an accident with the solenoids on my top-off leaking when shut off... well not leaking, but letting water get through. So my kalk was...

How do you make that determination? Is there something to compare with to decide which one is accurate?

Wow. I guess you have to have your tank configured way different then mine to use something like that. I've got about 1/2" of gap between the top of my water line & the eurobracing on my tank.

My Quiet 1 6000 & Mag 9 both run on a Cdn Tire Eliminator and Nautilus deep cycle battery. No problem at all.

Is the side of the tank that's inside the wall accessible? If not where would you hang a Vortech? I keep reading about how nice it is that the motor sits outside the tank but my tank is 3 sides...

Apparently they pump out water at an 80+dKh range and can risk a crash. I'm not that familiar with ca reactors so I'm only repeating what I've heard. It seems other brands of reactors put out a...

I've been warned by the Deltec folks not to run this reactor 24/7, let alone run it without a controller. But I do have a solenoid on the co2 regulator and since I have an Aquatronica controller it...

That's pretty ghetto eh? It's all I had. I'd like to get a nice acrylic stand to put it on because I know if I get much water spilled in there the mag box will start to droop. It works for now.

I'm using an MTC reactor with the carbon filter for water & air as well as the Luft pump & Ozotech Poseidon ozonizer & dryer. Works great. I just need a bit more water pressure through the unit.

I have both a Quiet 1 6000 and a Mag 12 and I'd say the Quiet 1 is quieter. It puts out more gph too. I'm happy with both.

Well that's 2.5 hours at a 250w draw. To be comparable to the Vortech example, I could run a single Tunze 6100 at 1/2 power (22.5 watts) and extend this to about 28 hours. I assumed that running a...

Yup, that's right. I could cut the time required for my setup too if I just hooked a couple Tunze 6100s in. They only burn 45w each and if I ran them at 1/2 power I could run two on each tank at a...
