Yes they are, turn them 90deg from eachother. I have 2 of the same ones, look at the bottom you will see a gap that will fit over the other containers top.
Turn 90 degrees and put the spigot inside the container.Originally Posted by bigair
Sorry, I kinda figured that was a no brainer. I will not ASSume again.Originally Posted by lucubrator
Ok Ok, I'll look again. I didn't play around with them much once they were full of water.
Just a heads up, my carrying capacity is just a tad over 300 gallons now.
If you are setting up a tank, and need alot of water at 1 time, get with me and we will work it out.
I have not been up to get good saltwater yet. I have been Mixing, purchased 2 big buckets of salt mix a few months back.
As far as the scripps water goes...
Can one drive a truck up to fill up?
Or do you have to walk bucket up and down?
You can drive right up to the hose, no problem.
my tank is about 9 mos old, all going well, but i think the initial overfeeding is too much for my refugium to handle on its own, and i have no other form of mechanical filtration. so i was thinking to do a weekly water change of 15-20% of my DT volume. Do you think there is any danger here to my livestock? I just want to get rid of some suspended waste in the water column.

DT = 115g
Refuge = 20g
Yes, you will be fine with that.
I do large water changes weekly with Scripp's water, and it works great for me.

Large is in the neighborhood of 25%, but that is the max you want to change at one time. Usual seems to be 15% weekly.
I had someone, and I won't say who, from a LFS tell me not to use scripps water in a reef tank for the following reasons: He said the local water is high in nutrients which help our kelp forrests grow rapidly. Those same nutrients would also help pest alages grow fast in a reef tank especially one with a CA reactor that has CO2 going in the tank. He reccomended using RO/DI water mixed with salt.
He also said that where most of the corals come from, don't have a high concentration of kelp or similar nutrients.
This sorta makes sense to me, but I was wondering if anyone cared to "chime in" on this and share your humble opinion.
So Tom how many bags of salts did they sell you after that?Originally Posted by Vayder1
