I've got two 6025s and like them a lot. But one does suffer from the same problem that some Seios have... it doesn't always turn on after being shut off. It can take a half dozen resets before it...

I wouldn't have thought the fish/coral would have received any shock at all since they aren't grounded. I imagine the breaker popped, the lights were out, same with all return pumps, current and...

I'm not trying to argue, nor convince you that what I'm saying is correct. From my reading an ozone reactor works better then a skimmer, and unlike a skimmer an ozone reactor was designed for...

Is this the thread? (http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=27193) I don't see why you couldn't have a 50' run of RO hose.

The tank is doing fine. I'm just getting the calcium & alk/hardness to where I like it and then the ca reactor & kalk mixer should keep it there. Everything is growing pretty good and coloring up. ...

I guess. My ozone reactor is 24" tall, 7" in diameter. But it could be much more then just size. A protein skimmer injects ozone into a column of water/bubbles. An ozone reactor injects/disperses...

Every picture I've ever seen posted of tanks with Solaris lights looks very blue and not as bright as a MH setup. I'd love to see these in person.
