Hey Paul, get that ear checked out. Right when covid was hitting, I lost hearing in my left ear. As the line goes in Christmas Vacation, "You couldn't hear a dump truck driving through a nitroglycerin plant." I ended up going to an ENT and found out I had Sudden Deafness....yep, it's a...

I'm here too Paul, but I was busy getting my Lavender therapy from a supermodel. :oo:

I hope your new O-rings fix the problem, but I'll go back to my post above....alignment and joining faces not sitting flush. Please keep us posted.

Just curious, was the glue up of the plumbing done with the valve all screwed together as one piece?

Now seeing this picture, here's my guess....your O-rings are just fine. I think your mating surfaces of the union aren't sitting flush. The reason is all that rigid pipe AND what appears to be a metal strap/clamp just below the valve. This clamp could be torquing the alignment of the union...

Agree, hand tightening should be enough. Definitely NOT vaseline. From HD, plumber's grease as long as it's silicone based. I personally use Leslie's Pool Lube....one tube is a lifetime supply.

I was going to suggest Jameco Electronics. I recently purchased three power supplies for Ecotech MP's for less than what Ecotech wanted for just one. A quick look and their cost is 20-23, plus shipping.

Most interesting....it's a laser and I would have thought the UV, being higher energy than visible light, would immediately zap the aiptasia. I can only guess it's a lower energy. If you pick up a high powered laser pointer (around 5W or higher), it will zap as well, but you stay dry...

I'm pretty sure that's the stuff @radiata and I went to collect a number of years ago. Got a very small amount....were either there the wrong time of year or just weren't in the right spot. As far as store-bought nori....the best and cleanest oriental market I've found is H-Mart. The one I...

NY Aquatics has a couple in stock at 300 each.

I'm on Chrome and no issues. I was also told that additional antivirus wasn't needed for Chrome, so maybe that's your problem.

Sunny, I'll take it all.

LOL....you just made me get up and look at the black bucket I use to store open bags of IO. I got this bucket years ago for someone who had given this to me to carry the stuff I purchased. Even thought I have loads of other buckets, I use this one because I can very easily pull off the lid...

Wait! @amado , if I'm not mistaken, you're in marketing and sales. The number one rule of marketing is "pulling the wooly" on people. There is a very large percentage of the population who want the "best" and are willing to pay. I use to be a motorhead and I'd hang out at a friends parts...

For you DIY Fish food makers, I found this out a couple years ago....be aware of Sodium Tripolyphosphate that is used with prepared seafood, and this is hard to believe, but they do NOT need to list Sodium Tripolyphosphate on their labeling. This would add additional phosphates to you system...

I also have a 20 Tall with stand if that helps....Free.

Looks like you're a little over an hour away, but if you want to make the trip, I have a 55 with metal stand that you can have. I'm in Sayreville. Note, just the tank and stand. I'll throw in PVC pipe pieces if you wish. I've got a couple different variations of these:

Crock Pot American Goulash.....so easy to make and great comfort food on a cold night! My wife calls it Beef-a-Roni..... that her high school cafeteria use to serve! :oo:

I don't know what they are officially called, but I call them Show Scrunchies....you get like five of them for a couple bucks.
