    Opinion on Dragon Strand Enclosures.

    I have 3 Dragon Strand enclosures. 2 Medium Atriums and 1 Large Clearside Atrium. My only complaint is a better latch system for the doors would make them perfect. I have a few that have either popped off or the black plastic latch snapped. On those I have replaced with velcro straps and is...

    Im interested to see how often you have to refill the humidifier, and any other maintenance to it. I know with water sitting in them for a while deposits can form.

    RO filtration systems

    The feed water would need to be treated before going into the RODI system, if not even if the system could remove the sulfur you would go thru filters and membranes extremely quick.

    the setup looks great. I'm think of the humidifier for my veiled.

    RO filtration systems

    Does that service the whole house? If so I'm sorry but thats not going to remove iron or sulfur, you would need something similar to this below.

    RO filtration systems

    So this is what system I have, it adds the DI Resin as the 4th stage. The 75 gallon per day version is $150. As mentioned earlier I added the booster pump because of low pressure, float switch kit, pressure gauge, and a dual inline TDS meter (how I measure the water quality going in and out of...

    RO filtration systems

    If you still have sulfur in your water after going through your house filtration system then you don't have the right filtration setup.

    RO filtration systems

    I am on a well. It's been about 12 years since we moved in and had the water tested but at the time we had a whole house filter system installed. I do remember we had a lot of iron in our water. I've been using the RODI system for at least 9 years, I'd have to look back a pictures to see...

    RO filtration systems

    I use a Bulk Reef RODI, a 75 gallon a day system. You want the water pressure to be around 50-75 psi. If it's lower your efficiency will not be as good. My water pressure was around 35 so I did add on a booster pump. I actually use this system for two purposes, 1 - my reef tank and also my...

    How far can you run a water line for mist King?

    I have the output of mine teed off. One cage is in the room above where the system is about 12' up from pump to the first nozzle (cage has 2 nozzles and a drip line), and about 10' horizontal. The other cage it is teed off to is in the next room over so about the same height but about 30' of...

    New forum member, New cham owner. Drainage systems?

    I have two Dragonstrand setups using their drainage tray. I have a small bulkhead I installed in the tray that empties into a bucket in each enclosure's stand. On average I dump the bucket every 5 days or so. I mist 6 times a day for 5 minutes each session, Mist King system. One cage has a...

    Light brands

    As mentioned above you can find some good T5 fixtures on the Reef Sites and also their sponsors. The Tek 4 bulb 36" fixture can be had at around $250, this has two power cords (2 bulbs on each) and would require times. Something along the lines of the ATI fixtures mentioned also come in a...

    Looks good. I can't take credit for the drip as it was already setup in the enclosure when I got it.

    Light brands

    On my Large Atrium I am running a 4 bulb Aquatic Life T5 fixture (individual reflectors) and on my Medium Atrium I am using a Quad Fixture from LightYourReptiles, to me it appears that most fixtures from them are re-branded Oddysea,(by the casing and the control unit on the fixture). These have...

    @dshuld Here is a video of the drip line. You can see the stream when I open the needle valve a little.

    Re-homing of Cameron

    Here is a picture of the valve. So the white tube is the feed from the basement, it's tee'd to go to the valve in the picture and the other out is to the misting heads. The white valve with the blue handle is just so I can close it off completely without touching the needle valve, I have...
