Chris, great to see you've got this problem licked. Now I know who to call when my Apollos crap out. Note, I would have loved to see pictures of this fix. I'm an idiot when it comes to electronics. EDIT TO ADD: Interestingly, I just looked at my two Apollos, and one of them has one LED...

Again, I use the Python hose to pump fresh saltwater into the tank. My guess is that it's 5/8 to 3/4 inch hose. EDIT TO ADD: If you are talking about the tee, I'd use 3/4 pipe all around. Here is the tee I did on an older tank. Note the valve is out of the picture to the right.

Wait one minute....a MAG 9.5 has NPT threading....national pipe thread. I've made this little things to convert NPT to "Hose" connection since I use Python hoses, which have "hose" threading. These converters are simply made with two pieces of CPVC fittings. Note, my local HD does not...

ACC is not far from Mike and Nicole's place...and I'm pretty sure phyto was one of the choices in their food bar.

You could always build a box fairly inexpensively to hide the Brute somewhere in the house. The box would be a bit more presentable than the plain Brute can. Or if you still wish to keep it in the garage, make the box slightly larger and insulate that box.

I would put more trust in the mercury thermometer than the "temp probe." I'm assuming the "temp probe" is some probe attached to a controller. If that is the case, it can and should be calibrated.

Chris, I sent you a pm.

I have both the MRC I and II......where are you locating the skimmer? The reason I ask is that MRC slimmers are beckett type skimmers and are quite noisy. If you're doing a basement sump area, I'd highly recommend one....if you're planning on putting it under the tank, there will be noise...

Home Depot epoxy...like THIS one.

It looks like you've lost your paid membership status. Check your paypal to see if it has auto-paid your membership.

I've gone to IO.....because it ocean water.....same parameters. I dose to maintain alk and calc.

Horseplay is located in Holmdel.

What a story! Note to self.....Take eels off my Christmas list! :p

Always love seeing the "wood and nails" part of a tale, being a hands-on, DIY type of person. Not quite sure I understand what's going on with the rectangular piece of wood, but that will just make me waiting for more pictures. The pine plank subfloor and BX wire does tell me the house is...

I too strongly believe the only true fix is to cut it out and redo the plumbing. The leaking water has contaminated the two pieces and now getting cement to attach would be difficult. Here's what plumbers do to make sure their glue-ups don't leak: * use cleaner on both pieces being...

It is possibly it's my old eyes or tiny netbook, but am I seeing a gasket between the bulkhead nut and the tank? If that is the case, regardless of how the bulkhead is installed, the gasket always....always....goes on the flange side......never on the nut side.

Chris, the OP says 07104.....and that's Newark.

The day is here! Enjoy the bird and remember to give thanks.

I was certified in the late 60's using the New Brunswick YMCA pool, which is now gone. I know nothing about THIS place, but believe it's the closest to you. They use the Y in Rahway for their classes.

Paul, with your years of experience, I'd figure you'd dip you finger into the tank and taste it and know the numbers. :p Actually nitrates of 30 is OK for a FOWLR, but a touch on the high side for corals. I've got to believe the water changes helped, but you need to do more!
