    Kevin, I think your right. However, my comment is true about our site.....I couldn't get to an application.

    I'm not sure what's going on......I didn't get any spam warning. When I attempted to go to the Membership Application, I got, "The requested page could not be found." Hopefully @kschweer , @SeahorseKeeper or @Edwardw771 could help with this.

    I think my MP40 dry-side bearings are shot...

    For what it's worth, if I was doing an MP40 today, these are the two Boca Bearings I'd be using: MR607-2RU TH9/C3 MR698-2RU TH9/C3

    Paint PVC?

    I painted the PVC that is exposed in my tank.....most above water....and it still looks great...other than some salt creep. I painted it in 2008 with the 98 cent spray paint from HD. That portion in the water is covered with algae or scutz. Here is a corner of it, and note the pipe and...

    I think my MP40 dry-side bearings are shot...

    HERE is the link of my experience in changing out the bearings in an MP10. It is the same procedure, but just different bearings. The most difficult part is picking the right bearings. I re-read the RC post maybe 5 or 6 times, making a chart of the bearings, and experiences, and still...

    Red Sea 130D AIO

    I was never crazy about the 9002. The Comline series is a better skimmer in my eye. I most recently had the 9004 and was very happy.

    Here's two quarter rounds in the Philly area: 92 Gallon Corner Aquarium and Stand - $500 Fluval 77 gallons corner Bowfront Aquarium Fish Tank complete - $700 Both appear to NOT be reef-ready.

    Are you looking for a quarter round?

    Red Sea 130D AIO

    My personal opinion.....if they are compact fluorescent bulbs, I think you'd be better off going LED. You can get a kit for less than the cost of the compact hood.....and even less if you DIY it.

    Can you overfeed corals?

    Do you test for nitrate and phosphate? I've know people who originally used Reef Roids daily, and their N and P numbers went through the roof.

    Red Sea 130D AIO

    Here's my recommendation: Put down some tape where you want the hole. Draw a circle that represents the hole (trace the Kessil using a Sharpie). Now either cut out the majority of the hole with a hole saw or cut out the majority of the hole using a saber saw. Cut close to the line...

    Before you buy the hole saw, let me know the size.....I might have it.

    Red Sea 130D AIO

    Marcus, if you wish to replace the fans, and want to bring this thing to Sayreville, I can solder in the new fans for you.....that will look like a professional job, using shrink wrap around the solder job. You just need to buy the fans. And, if you want to use those fans, unless it's hidden...

    Red Sea 130D AIO

    I know you shouldn't judge LEDs by wattage.......however, two 24" TrueLumen Pro strips at 16 watts each isn't much light. Great for a FOWLR, but not for coral. I think the kits for that tank are in the 50 to 60 watt range. Maybe three strips would put you on the low end. You'll have to...

    Red Sea 130D AIO

    If I understand, you've already gutted the hood/canopy. You're choice is to buy a kit (Stevesleds, Rapidled, Proledsupply, etc.), or start from scratch and do a total DIY. I've got to believe there are DIY threads out there that show you how to do this specific hood.

    I agree with @greybolt03 ......put in an LED kit or DIY.

    Red Sea 130D AIO

    Macus, the guts look pretty straight forward. The long rectangular box on the right is the ballast for the compact flourescent bulbs....the small little clear cube just to the left of that ballast (with the six wires coming out) is a relay (most likely to let the fans know when the lights are...
