Not all yours but just a small part of my last order. Drivers are in as well. The cool part, I can fit everything in the new driver housings I use. :) BOOM!

 

I will have a slew of updates after Reefstock.

Did I ever mention that 75gpd is extremely slow....3 hours in...9.5 gallons later...

Getting wet!!!!!.....Yikes! My water pressure sucks in my condo in the winter time I have the brs 4 stage 75gpd and it takes 2hr 45min to make 5 gal. Summer time 2hr for 5 gal.... Also picking up a reef savvy 28x28x14 soon! Not as huge as your but I'm excited to be done with aio I want a sump!

What kind of pressure you running? It should not take that much time. Next time I would buy Spectrapure membranes.

I would definitely look into a booster pump, then. You'll eat through membrane life running such a low pressure, and your waste ratio will go up. (at least that is my understanding of it, AZdesertrat would be able to set you straight)

yea I've been contemplating a booster, I may try to see if I can use the connection that my washing machine hooks up to next week and see if I get better pressure there and if I do ill add a hose Y with shut off.

As long as they stay on the 'flat' anemones, I'm fine with porcelain crabs, and pom pom crabs are awesome. But pretty much any other crabs, not so much.

 

Oh, and one of my giant penaid shrimp killed my pom pom while it was molting. :angry:
