![]() Might not be quite a zen-ish as yours but I am thinking islands. Have a slightly different vision in mind but we'll see if I can translate concept into reality, I'm not very artistic.
A horseshoe crab?! Wow. I always thought they were something of a no-no but now that I think of it, I have no idea why. Maybe for fear they'll knock things over? I don't really know much about their captive care. Ever thought about tiger tail cukes? I had some for a while but it occurs to me it's been a lonnggg time since I seen any, maybe they kicked off some time ago and I just never noticed. They did a pretty good job of pooping out clean sand though.

Maybe your RO/DI is 100gpd membrane? Or you have higher inlet pressure? You're right, with a TDS of zero .., just run with it and be happy. ![]()

I am using the aragamax select. its not too big and not too small. the horseshoe crab do get large, 24in large, but i think that it will take sometime to get that big, I have had him since the start of the tank and i barely see him. I wish for one of those donkey cucumbers, i think he would do a great job. Didnt see any around though for along time. |

![]() I use the Dow Filmtec 75 gpd. And yeah used to get me 0 - 1 TDS out of the membrane only but these days 5-6 for 5g fills...can drop lower if I'm running it longer.

![]() Wow have I missed alot lately ! Its really great to see how much you have accomplished. Everything is looking awesome. I remember that skimmer of Johnathon's, she is a beast but worked well. Have you seen or heard from him lately ? On the sand topic I'm glad you decided to add some. With a large tank I think it looks so much better and allows you to go with a much more open arrangement (like Johns). Keep up the good work.

If it is a good and properly labled membrain ie. a Dow filmtec TW30-1812-75 it is 75GPD @ 50 PSI. at 90 PSI it should give you about 130 GPD. the max operating PSI is 300PSI on the dows and I think you can get about 170GPD out of that one @ 100 PSI these numbers are for 75 degree water temp, so you won't get that much as I doubt your tap water is 75 degrees. for example the 75gpd membrain only puts out 50gpd at 60 degree water.

![]() I've got lots of cukes because the donkey dungs seem to be able to reproduce in my system. Sadly, I'm too far away to help you.
