Danny,

That is a diaphragm metering pump made by Advantage Controls. It is not reefing equipment but is made for industrial/laboratory applications. I use it to add ro/di topoff water to my tank. It adds 0.31ml 9x every minute.

To Do:

- I am planning on picking up a new Geissman Actinic + bulb for my hood. Right now I have one Geissman and one UVL Super Actinic but the UVL has dimmed to the point where I don't think it is even helping. It is a shame because the UVL was a real nice purple colour and seemed to add more variety - I think it is probably just a bad bulb but the Geissman actinic looks great too and seems to put out a lot more light.

- I am going to add some more LR to the display, add a pair of little clowns, and slowly build up my soft coral collection.

- I am also debating building a coil denitrator... great one more project...

- Chad

Cool, I was kind of hoping it was some kind of new pump with a built in wave controller. Some one should invent one.

Ya, right - that's all I need, one more piece of expensive equipment that I will 'have to have'.

Inventors: please disregard Danny's post. Don't invent anything else... just work on ways of making our current equipment cheaper.
