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.
Another FilterDirect buyer here. Ours is running along just fine with 0tds. We're pleased as punch with it. I also didn't get the holding tank. I'm filling 5g containers with it, not pouring drinking water. If you were going to use it for drinking water you'd get old waiting for a glass to fill...
Would have helped had I checked to make sure those pics all worked! D'oh!
The one thing that was a major oops was that we fashioned it after our current hood. When we did that the top piece was recessed from the moulding around the top edge. The piano hinge wouldn't mount properly that way so...
I've only been working on this hood for 3 months now, lol, but here is the current state of it. We need to do some bracing, stain it, paint the inside and install the lights Hopefully that won't take as long as the first part has taken. I think the scariest part was getting ready to make that...
Hey, anything we can do to help! Let us know when you're ready.
Congrats on the Sun Coral. Mine is one of my favorite animals. Just beautiful.
Thanks Mongoose! They really are beautiful. We're very excited to be able to be offering them.
What holds the jumpers in the tank if you don't have glass over it? Right now my PC fixture sits on the glass (again, I'm waiting for the new hood to install t5 retros for my actinics). Yet another reason I like being home while they're on. Work in progress... (but then again who's tank isn't?!)
D'oh! I didn't say it was a long term solution... I'm building a new hood for my tank because the standard Oceanic hood I have puts the MH closer than my comfort zone away from the water surface (well glass right now). So while I'm waiting to finish the hood (now I just have to stain it) I...
GH, why would the heavy duty time be a problem for the MH? I'm using regular grounded for my PC lighting. I don't have timers on my MH yet. I have a WaveMaker for the PH.
There was a post not too long ago on RC about a house fire that was caused by a Coralife timer. There were several other people who chimed in with similar (or not quite as disasterous, but could have been) results from that timer. I took mine and threw it away. Take your warning and run.
We're a mere one vote away from quorum in both the Bylaws election and the VP election. When the bylaws get accepted we will be able to file for Incorporation and our Non-Profit Status. Two more giant steps in moving the club forward.
He's actually attached to a piece of rubble right now (talk about having the tiger by the tail, lol). I wonder if he'll move from the rubble to the clamshell.
I think GH might be going to the meeting. Does he live near/drive past you? If so maybe he'll deliver? Anyone else in the White House Station area going to the meeting? You're about 40m from my office (but if you don't drive that's an awful long way away)!
