What did I get for Black Friday……I got an education…..to NEVER go out shopping again on Black Friday.
You first need to know that I never go shopping. I haven’t bought cloths for myself in 30 years. I have a shop-aholic wife who buys me everything.
Somehow my wife got me to go out...
Generator shed
This is Jim’s (Downbeach) fault….that’s all I can say! :o
Although I’ve originally commented on HIS POST about a “New Generator”, since it’s been too long since I’ve updated this Tale, I decided to continue the discussion here.
I originally was going to set this shed up...
Great idea using large pavers. That should work just fine….and relatively easy to do.
I’m fitting mine between two trees and the large pavers wouldn’t fit unless I cut them…..so I’m going with the pressure treated wood foundation. Here’s the base of the shed showing how close the two...
Jagers are the best!
Unfortunately they run a bit long to compensate for the added area needed because of the extra thick glass. I would have preferred Jagers in my tank but they didn’t fit into my sump. I have a 90 DT with a 40 sump and run two 300 watt heaters My second choice on...
Jim, I’m impressed! Looking good.
I too picked up the same mini-shed on Black Friday…….in the boonies of North Carolina. So I had to haul it back to NJ on the roof of the car:
I’ve also changed direction. I’m not going to set mine up to run the generator therein. I’m only...
James, I believe you misinterpreted what Roger said. What he basically said was that if you live in a country with 50 hertz, you’ll automatically get the three-blade impeller…and if you live in a country that has 60 hertz, you’ll get the six blades. Here in the US we run at 60 hertz, so that...
Just to finish up this saga, I noted that the only impeller shown on Tunze USA’s website (for ordering parts) was the three blade impeller. So I had one more question for Roger of Tunze…..How do I order my six blade if I need a replacement? And here is his want Roger of Tunze had to say...
I’m a Randy’s DIY two part user….pretty much since 2008.
If the above posts are claiming BRS two part is super cheap, then DIY is super-duper cheap. I just did a cost analysis and a gallon of calcium costs me 82 cents while a gallon of alkalinity costs 55 cents.
In THIS LINK you will...
I saw that Frigidaire's were on the list....that's what got me on my hands and knees. But my model (FSD704DUD, and serial number KN12411490), weren't on the list. Actually the Serial had to start with a "1" for it to be a Gree for the Frigidaire's.
Again, thanks James! I guess I did win...
Geewiz James, can’t you give me some good news….like I’ve just won the lottery!
I’m sitting in the room with the dehumidifier running almost always at this time of year. And now I’m down on my hands and knees checking the model and serial number for this Frigidaire that I have:
Woo...
Gus, sounds good. As I expressed before, not in any rush, but wanted to make sure you didn’t forget about me. I’ve already purchased the replacement display screen for that ReefKeeper. Please just let me know when you’re ready to let it go.
Thanks, Paul
I’ve got two more photos to throw at you……under moonlights.
I have two 4 foot IceCap LED moonlights.
So here is Moonlights – No White Balance
Moonlights – White Balanced
Still too yellow….and low light.
Conclusion: With my crappy camera it’s best to take pictures...
Gus.....you're on-line. What's the status of the dimmed Reefkeeper? What would be a good day to pick up? I don't work, so i'm always available.
Thanks, Paul
So Blues came on….but I’m going to repost everything so you can compare.

Roger of Tunze responded to my request to explain the six blade impeller I have:
The 50Hz impeller has 3 long blades, the 60Hz impeller has 6 short blades. The impeller spins slower at 50Hz so the blades have to be longer to pump the same amount and the number of blades is for balancing at...
