Sunny, I primed it, lubed it, stroked it, and rubbed it...........and then I looked at the pump, and realized the tubing was shot. :eek::D. These are old pumps that were used for two part and taken down and never cleaned. I'm working on a fix right now....give me a little more time...

Thanks once again Bob, your information looks like it's really going to save me. I hooked up the pump and it didn't work. Let me restate....the peristaltic part turned, but no fluid passed through the pump. To put it yet a third way, the rubber tubing was shot. I'm looking for a fix other...

Yep, still plenty left, but most big ones gone. I'm looking and you're from Berlin, NJ....like 1 hour and 30 away....is it worth it?? Mike, I had a blast....didn't get done what I wanted to get done, but that's ok, because I enjoyed the visit. My wife looked at me funny too when see came...

Yep....come on up.

Looking good Jeremy......a couple comments...... Tank level. Is it the angle of the picture or is that tank not level. The water level on the left appears to be lower that the water level on the right. Even if not level, your overall water level is low enough, so it shouldn't be an issue...

Only two clowns in that size tank.....assuming they are mated. If you put in four, it would eventually be two anyway. Remember, clowns are damsels...the meanest fish, pound for pound.

Thanks Mark, Bob, saltkreep and Art. Mark, certainly natural rubber formulations and some synthetic polymers of rubber are easily and readily attacked by acids, and disintegrate. And where are you buying 20%...at an ag store? The food variety is only 5%, and many ag stores regulate the...

I've been manually dosing a DIY version of NOPOX and just picked up a BRS 1.1 pump to automate the additions. As I'm looking at this pump, I'm now wondering what the vinegar would do to the rubber tubing portion. Anyone using a peristaltic pump to dose vinegar or NOPOX? And what's your...

Very easy to check tempered with a pair of polarized sunglasses and your phone (or laptop / tablet).

Now is the time to drill the tank and put a Glass-Holes overflow in it. Very easy to do.

I would say NO....unless he's also building two, or maybe three other tanks......I see at least two if not three other tanks being built in that picture. Now, it's also sitting on a Coast to Coast work table, so I think it might be a fair bet that Coast to Coast is building the tank. But...

I just went on Costco's website and don't see my cartridges.....black and color are Canon PG-245 and CL-246, respectively. However, I also went on eBay and just purchased a refill kit for $13.49. I understand I can get away with refilling 4 or 5 times before the cartridges craps out...

I have a Canon inkjet printer......a PIXMA MG2520. I need to purchase new ink cartridges. I can get the black and color cartridge for $34. That's thirtyfour dollars. Now the other option is that I can throw this printer away and buy a whole new printer (that comes with the ink...

Ouch! Sorry to hear. A good friend slipped on the last step of her cellar stairs just before Christmas, and ended up having to get her ankle pinned and screwed. Just had the ankle support taken off last week. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Unfortunately not many of us left. The ones that immediately come to mind.....Mike m (Mikem), John s (johns_323) was recently on but no longer has a tank, Bob (radiata), big ed w (edwardw771), Mike a (mnat), and James w (jrwohler)....I apologize if I left anyone out. I also think the...

One word.....Lawyers! Oh, and I'll add a couple more words.....stupid people. Have you purchased a ladder recently....it's covered in labels of every possibility of misuse....because of lawyers and stupid people. And that's why that 20 dollar ladder cost you 140 bucks.

Ed, they're not letting you go......you're still listed under your avatar as a Board member. :eek:

Good job! Give yourself a raise. :D

I'm not familiar with Jebao dosing pumps, but have to believe they are peristaltic pumps. That being the case, no check valve is needed....the pump rollers keep fluids from moving backward. And I would think you'd also have no problem pumping from the stand up into the DT.

Why the expense of plexi? 1/4 inch plywood. The other option is to put something on that eggcrate that the cats don't like. The first thing that came to mind was red pepper flakes.....does that work with cats?
