I can't remember the name of the song or the company that produces this water filtration/purifyer commercial.... In it, people seem to leviate after drinking water and i remember a girls' hair seems to float as if they are swimming. Anyone know what I am talking about?

Calgon?

The revolutionary new range of Whirlpool RO water purifier that come with the 6th sense Purify and Protect Technology. India#39;s first RO water ...

I'm pretty sure it was for a water filtration system, and it showed people who were always hunched over (from carrying those huge bottles of water). It had some really beautiful piano music that played. Anyone know which commercial I'm talking about?

try whats that called.com lots about commercials on there

I've been on here asking a lot of questions about saltwater aquariums, and I know you guys are getting tired of seeing me:) but bear with me a little longer. I'm doing tons of research on them now, and maybe even considering studying marine life as a profession, but right now I'm not finding the information I'm looking for anywhere else, and I don't have access to people around me that know a lot about aquariums, so I'm looking to you guys:) I'm planning on making a large saltwater aquarium (1000 gal approximately). I want to know if this filtration setup will work.

I plan on having around 1000lbs of live rock, maybe more like 800lbs, but 1000 is the general area I'm shooting for. I'm buying a commercial "myreefcreations.com" protein skimmer. They are supposedly capable of filtering a total of 8500 gallons, and I plan on using a 5800gph pump on it. They say you should have anywhere from 6-8 times full water turnaround per hour when filtering with the Berlin style setup, or so I've heard.

I wanted to use a UV filter, but I read that they kill beneficial bacteria as well, and can cause marine fish to lose their natural immunity sometimes, like a human living in a germ free bubble. I decided that the protein skimmer and the live rock were enough for filtering, judging by what I've read from various sources. However, they alone are not enough to handle a heavy bio-load in a tank that size (from what I hear). Would another protein skimmer be appropriate to add, or is there another single filtration unit I can add to this setup that would let me handle a heavy bio-load. I don't want to use any sumps, or anything like that. I just want another single type of commercial grade filter, that would dramatically raise the potential bio-load for this aquarium.

I was looking into carbon filtering, but I heard they release chemicals into the water, and I don't want to take any chances, judging by how much this setup is going to cost. I have the heating and cooling arrangements already setup (a couple 3kw heaters, and a 1hp chiller, not saying i will need them all, i do plan on heating the room and insulating, but just in case).

I also came across some really cool aquarium lights I plan on using, I know they're expensive, but I would appreciate it if you guys gave it a look and told me what you think.

It's that Giesemann Moonlight 6' light.

I plan on having somewhere in the area of 50 small 3" long, slender bodied fish, and about 10-20 large 8"-1' fish in this tank. I also want to have lots and lots of hermit crabs, snails, lobsters, shrimp etc...so you can see what I mean about a heavy bio-load.

I've never seen a canister filter that's rated for anything above 300gal, and a sump is a last resort for me, because of how much floor space it would take up with a tank that size. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

p.s. is a powerhead the same as a pump? for example, if i buy a pump to run a protein skimmer, do i also need a powerhead?
I didn't mention before, I plan on using two of those lighting systems...and I was thinking of swapping the bulbs out with 400w ones...can I do it with that model light?

First off i'd suggest going to

www.reefcentral.com check out the large reef tanks forum. you should be able to get a good idea from there. Reef tanks generally cost about 50.00 a gallon to set up initially so make sure that you are financially ready.

there are much more knowledgeable folks there than here. I would suggest adding a fairly large refugium, along with carbon filtering, and even though you dont think you should I would run a UV. Most people do because it helps your fish fight off ich and some other nasty parasites. You are going to need a sump under neath that tank. Water will flow down into it and you will pump it back into your tank with a return. You are probably also going to want to do a closed loop on the tank for water movement. Depending on how good the closed loop is you might also need powerheads. Powerheads and pumps are not the same thing. powerheads are for moving water in your tank and pumps are for moving water from one place to another.


Edit: you are going to need stronger lighting than 3 250 w halides... what are the dimensions of the tank? your going to more than likely need more like 6 400w halides minimum

edit 2: no you cannot swap out the 400 version. You will need to buy a fixture that handles 400w halides.

Full 2 in. Drain
The Triton C-3 features standard 3 in. flange connections
8 in. opening for easy access to sand bed

in our experiment, we get a 600mg commercial aspirin tablet and powdered it. Then we mix it with ethanol and let it evaporate in a water bath. After tha, we recrystallize it thru suction filtration...what is the use of ethanol in this experiment?

ya, its simple . first to dissolve the impurities that dissolves in ethanol.then , the process of recrystallisation helps in separating the impurities from the mother liquor,followed by suction which helps to get pure sample which is devoid of impurities.

I am building a commercial sized saltwater aquarium, i am planning on using a very minimal amount of live rock, most of the aquarium will be fish, with small amounts of live rock scattered throughout. I have searched the internet for various skimmers, and other forms of filtration, and I want to know if this setup that I have thrown together would work realistically. Any feedback is greatly appreciated...

I want to use this type of filtration system, biological and mechanical. It says it is to be used for a Koy pond...is this a problem?

I will be using this style protein skimmer

http://www.myreefcreations.com/product_i nfo.php?products_id=177

It says that it is rated for 8500 gallons each, I will be using three of them.

water pumps and tubing is not an issue that i'm concerned with, however I was wondering how I would heat such a large aquarium. Then I decided that a good idea would be to buy a pool heat pump. I know that they do not work in temperatures of 45degrees or less, which is why i am planning on putting it inside of my house. Would this type of pool heat pump (if kept at 75-80 degrees) harm saltwater tropical fish? I know that it can handle the actual task of warming the water, for about 200$ yearly, I just need to know if it will harm the fish, or have any type of adverse affect on the quality of the water.

http://www.poolheatpumps.com/Kopec.htm I know the fact that this will cost a ridiculous amount of money, I am not interested in that aspect. Also, I am wondering if adding lots of live rock would be a good idea, to help filter the aquarium.
