I would also like to figure out a way to feed wires through pipe so it is very clean looking.

Is that bad or anything to do with nitrates. Do you know if my kits will test freshwater nitrates.

Rscp? That's funny I noticed that the other day. Like a brown slime forming inside the trash can. What causes that? And could that have something to do with the nitrates.

It's Frederick county water.

I def wanna resolve this as quickly as possible so I can eliminate before tank is setup. I tried to go get my tank tonight but the guy couldn't find a carpenter to tear his door frame apart to get the stand out.

Does anyone know if either of the test kits I have will test the nitrates in freshwater. I was gonna try tap water and Rodi water to see if nitrates are present.

I have no tanks setup right now because I'm getting ready to start the new build so my Rodi is not hooked up. I'm gonna hook up tomorrow and try the tests.

If radions cover 24x24, how would it be recommended to mount 2 radions on a 36x36x24? I have an idea but I need to see if the chassisshop where we used to get chassis work done will help me out . It would be chromoly and powdercoated. Any other ideas keep them coming please.

I need to mount 2 radions to a 36" wide rimless. 2 things: I don't want anything on the edges of the tank and 2. I can't hang from the ceiling, its probably 25 feet tall. So I need a bracket that would mount to the stand somehow. Any ideas or pics would be really appreciated or links for somewhere they sell them.

I'm using Api and red sea test kits. I use both kits with the same results.

I don't mean to hijack but I have a question. My tds reading coming in is 260 to 280 coming out is 1 to 2 at most. But when I mix my saltwater my nitrates are 10 ppm right off the bat. Any idea what would cause the high nitrates or what u could do to lower it.

I'm gonna re measure my van I really think it might fit. If it will I hopefully will be heading south Sunday night.

Well I haven't made it that far yet and probably spent 50 times the money. I'm on the right path now. It's nice to have some local help to get going that's for sure.

Wow. And they say it can't be done with hob.

It seems the apex is the clear choice and not that much more expensive. Especially considering everyone on here has been so helpful up to this point. Not like another forum I won't name.

Tour gettin out of my league now!! I'm a pizzaman.lol

The very brief description you get when reading about controllers does not go into any of this. Very informative. You can do a lot more then I New about.

So you can turn stuff on and off from the internet?? This is all new to me as you can tell.

That's some sound advice. With that said, what controller is the easiest to use. And which one? I was thinking the reefkeeper elite to start.

I am debating over and over on a controller or something else for the build. My question is, is a controller a necessity or a luxury? I know it displays temp and ph with controllable outlets. But I have radions so no need to control lights, dj switch for pumps etc. No calcium reactor but I will have dosing pumps for 2 part. So is one really necessary or not? Please help me decide and understand. I've never owned one.

Sometime before Xmas but no set date yet.

No on the truck still trying to figure that out. And it won't have a canopy. 2 radions with some type of arms for hanging.

Greenville, s.c. and thank you. I thought the same thing about the salt creep. Thanks for the idea.

not sure about that one. i found it on rc and thank you. now i just need dosers and a controller and im completely ready.
