That someone would be me :(. I've got two new pumps, but haven't put them in water yet. It's strange that only one other person had their shaft break, and it happened to me twice!
Other than...

No Pressure from New CO2 Tank
Hi Steve,
The tank valve is counter clockwise to open, and the regulator is clockwise to open. They're both labeled, and I've also tried both directions just to be sure :confused:

No Pressure from New CO2 Tank
I just filled a brand new 10 lb co2 tank, and installed the regulator. The tank valve is on full, and even after turning the regulator on full, I'm getting no pressure reading at all.

Does the person that guesses correctly get a prize ;) ?
I'll guess a 400w 20k Radium without actinics.

Reeftec Pump
Hi Keith,
It depends on what animals you keep. If it's for softies, I think two PE1's would be enough. If you keep mainly sps, I'd go for the PE2's.
Even with the pe1's, you'll get...

Believe me, unless your tank is over 4' long, the PE1's are enough. The water pressure even at about 9" is a little too strong for my millipora if not on a...

Hi Keith,
I got the pump at Groundwater Hydrolics in Vancouver, their number is 604-254-0616.
The pumps aren't cheap, the PE1 is about $90 and the PE2 is $145.
For the extra 16% that Jimmy...

I've just installed a Little Giant PE1 with the reeftec kit, and I must say it does push a lot of water.

The hardest thing is attaching the propellor to the shaft. I actually bought a few propellors, but in the end couldn't find the right size plastic tubing. The PE1 shaft is 5/32", while all the boat...
