Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Good news Doug. :dance: I am curious what happened to your Neptune. I wouldn't expect that to go out....assuming it's fairly new (a couple years at best).
If you're willing to travel to dazzlling Sayreville, you're welcome to whatever I have. The only stipulation is that you bring your own bags/tupperware/etc to pack it up. I don't know names, but I try a couple names....pink lemonade, teal millepora acropora, Downbeach birdsnest...
With the multimeter now working, I believe it is the numbers on the relay plug that are important, not the physical locations of the screws/connectors. So connection 7 and 8 are the coil, even though on this plug they are the most "right" connectors. With this now known, here's my wiring...
As I had mentioned, this float switch is for a DIY Skimmate Container I made about three years ago. To add a little back-story, the original float switch didn't have a relay associated with it. It had some crazy electronics that were way above me (That's easy to do.) Maybe some of the...
I documented my return pump woes HERE, were I did something stupid. I just wanted to document the replacement of that pump, old-four-screws, with a new MAG 9.5. This way I know when the new one went in. Can't complain because old four screws lasted over eight years.
Being a back-up...
You actually don't have to be a paid member to come to meetings. Everyone is welcome. If you wish to come, simply respond to the RSVP and you're good to go.
With @trio99 questioning use for an ATO, I gave some thought to the skill and tool requirement. So far I've used my drill press, cut off saw, power rasp, small hand saw, file, drill bits, taper bit, and metric tap and die kit. I realize I'm the oddball with the tools, so as an...
I can't help with the baffles and any recommendations for folks up north.
The overflow with 1 inch drain and 3/4 return is normal. Your drain is by gravity, and one inch gravity is around 700 gph. The return is under pressure, albeit fairly low, and with the Tunze rated at 792 gph (at 24...
Marcus, everything you've seen so far is ATO applicable.....especially what you're about to see.....dual float switches. What you are seeing is very similar to what you'd get with an AquaHub Premium Kit for about 40 bucks.
Well, that didn't last long! I decided to splurge and spend a...
My wife always complains that I'm cheap, and still have my Communion money. Here is my shot at a DIY for a float switch with minimal expendature. Note that this could be used for an ATO by simply adding a small pump, such as a Tom's Aqualifer. I will give as much detail as I can...
I'm still at a loss why leaving your key on would cause a BCM problem??? However, it certainly sounds like that's the problem. Give me a 54 Packard (that came with no electronics), that simply had two wires going to the engine. And here's the bizarre part, you could disconnect one of...
I've only been running carbon in my BRS dual reactor....because I also run biopellets and didn't want the GFO to strip out all the phosphate. What I've noticed is that my carbon would clog up with detritus, and have to be cleaned out prematurely. I would usually run carbon for about two...
New baby on the way and daddy needs new lights! Ouch! :D
RJ, @Olivier was selling two Apollo's.....these are the same LEDs I have.....I think for $100 for both. I've tagged him here, but you might wish to send him a PM as well. If you wish, stop in and I'll show you what they look...
