    Dan's 150 Rebuild

    I usually use this http://m.homedepot.com/p/Oatey-Rain-R-Shine-16-oz-PVC-Cement-308933/100342516 Home Depot usually has it. I always use primer as well. I have glued a lot of PVC with no negative effects on the tank. Once dry it is safe. I have glued pipes for repairs and ran them within...

    Definitely. You can just keep the ball valve shut on the unused ports. I usually plumb at least 1 extra when I'm doing it so it's easy to add something down the line.

    Lol. It definitely simplifies things. Let me know if you need any help with the upcoming build. I have some pictures of other manifolds I have done too if it will help you at all

    Simply "T" of of your return line and add a ball valve to control the flow and hook up to your reactor. Here's my frag tank plumbing. One feeds my carbon/gfo reactor and the other feeds the biopellets. Everything is run by a mag 5 instead of separate pump for return and each reactor.

    Dan's 150 Rebuild

    Yup it's a return pump. I've had it for a little over a month now. Doing research before I bought it it's the same pump as the reef octopus version and is the same as the gen 1 waveline dc pumps.

    I think I paid about $120. If you look around a bit I have seen them as low as $105 if I remember correctly.

    +1 for the DC pumps. I'm running the jeabo dc6000 on my new tank. It's very powerful, quiet, and energy efficient. The price is pretty good too.

    Sandbed turning green

    How's the pressure at the membrane? My only concern would be dropping the pressure that is reaching the membrane. If the pressure at the membrane drops the effectiveness of it will be lower.

    The 210 tank build

    Great collection of fish guys! I'm loving all the small fish in a big tank. That earles wrasse is amazing, definitely one fish I would like to own one day. The price seems to be coming down as more are making it to the market so maybe one day it will be feasible. Good luck with the new...

    What if any, are your reef resolutions for 2014?

    To take my time stocking my new tank with the fish and corals I really want and to avoid impulse buys so that I can stick to my stocking plans.

    There is a pressure switch that is needed to shut off the booster pump. This is separate from the auto shut off valve. If you bought the booster pump "kit" from BRS it should come with it. If not this is what you need...

    Home Gym Equipment

    Depends on what you are looking to do. Are you gearing more towards free weights, an "all in one" machine or more cardio? If you're looking for free weights and benches or an "all in one" machine take a look at body solid. Very nice home gym equipment. As far as the cardio stuff goes it's...
