I'm certainly no expert, but think the temperature of the water and the fact it's in a creek......you might wish to call Marine Mammal Rescue and see what they say.

Please! April Fools. :D I could have used this for my kids when they were young.

John, extremely kind of you to do this.

By purple box, do you mean just plain old Instant Ocean? If that is the case, the difference is no vitamins in Instant Ocean. And no one knows what these vitamins do! Also slightly less alk and calc. Instant Ocean is advertised as "Ocean water," and that's what it is. It's the salt...

Check N & P; Start making water if you don't have a bunch already made; Prepare for a water change, if needed. Otherwise, you just might have made out alright. Please remind us, how old is the tank?

LOL! Yeah Marcus, I dragged that POC into the backyard and took a sledge hammer to it, splintering into a million pieces, and pitched it into the trash!!!! Oh wait, that was with the original JBJ 28 stand, that truly is (was) an absolute POC. And our trash was picked up today. Good...

Olivier, first off, good to see you back with a tank.....and thanks for your comment. I didn't record the hours. However, I will tell you that I spent the most time thinking about how I was going to build this thing. It also evolved while it was being built. As an example, the wire...

Unfortunately I can't make this one as well. Enjoy everyone.

We have a club page on Reef2Reef as well. HERE is the link.

Just want to wish the new board the best. Looking forward to a great year. Congratulations!

My stupidity will never cease to amaze me! Yes, another DOH! moment. After finishing up the equipement cabinet in flat black....spray painted....I started repainting the stand to match the side cabinet. I wanted to do this is steps since it will be sprayed. I turned off the skimmer and...

That 389 is the three hole setup.....I have the two hole which sells for 99......89 is you buy a blemished one. I linked it in my post above. Here's mine being installed: It comes with the overflow box, bulkheads, 90 elbows, glass drill bit. You need to supply all the pipe...

The hand-waving accepted gravitational vertical flow rate through a 1/2" pipe is only 150 gph. Here are the veritical flow rates per pipe size: size _GPM __GPH 1/2 = 2.50 = 150 3/4 = 5.63 = 337.5 1.0 = 10.0 = 600 1.25=15.6 = 937.5 1.5 = 22.5 = 1350 2.0 = 40.0 = 2400 Glass-Holes is another...

Marcus, look on craigslist.org. You'll find them for 10-15 dollars. Hope this helps. We've got a guy here in Sayreville selling them for 10 dollars a pop.

Anthony! :D

Per request, here's the very simple wiring diagram. What is important with this wiring is that the LED has a specific positive side and negative side. If it is not wired correctly, it will not light. I just so happen to run the positive wire over to the float switch. I could have...

Thanks for the kind word Mike, Marcus and Jim. :D So I've come to the realization that my apparent procrastination, in part, is due to my over thinking solutions....and wanting all parts of the solution to be as DIY as I could make it.....Oh, and costing close to nothing. This became...

Since building a cover for my ATO reservoir (posts 445, 448 and 449 above), I can no longer see the water bottle, and therefore I don't know when it is in need of another bottle of water. Here is my simple solution.....and I'll include detail for those who wish to do something similar. I...

Glad to see that you're back. I don't think I've seen Boomer since 2009......at MACNA. Is he still kicking around somewhere?

Wow! Talk about old tanks......Bill, good to hear from you....and that you're still around....tank wise that is! :D
