If you can remove the bulkhead and clean the glass around the hole. Also just to be sure the gasket always goes on the inside (where the water is). Tighten the bulkhead as tight as you can by hand and then only 1/4-1/2 turn with a wrench. Over tightening can lead to leaks too
Welcome joe. You picked a great meeting for your first one. My first meeting was also at mike and Nikki's house and I had a great time. There system is awesome and loaded with some of the nicest corals around. Also sunny is donating the frags for the raffle so that's another bonus
When the dosing pump is not running the liquid in the tube may be "falling" back to the reservoir and when the pump comes back on the air that's now in the tube may be getting pulled through the punp
I agree as well. The frags are bought and paid for so the owner can do whatever they would like to do with them. The colonies are "the groups" si they should remain with the group
I have the deep blue 30g rimless frag tank and I really like it. I have had it up and running for about 2 years now without a problem. If you end up going with a deep blue make sure to buy new bulkheads. The ones they come with are very cheap and brittle and also have "barbs" for poly pipe and...
Hey guys. I have something going on with the thin branched colony I have. From this morning to when I jus walked into the house from work has rtn'd pretty badly. It's weird because its the only one. Can anyone pick it up or possibly meet me tomorrow
Thanks Jim. One more question and I will stop derailing Edwin's thread. My ATO is the avast marine one and is hooked up to a small powerhead which sends the water to the sump. It's a small tank (about 45 total gallons) and I evaporate about 5g a week. Should I be concerned about a pH spike...
Hey Jim. Can you elaborate a bit on how you dose calc? I have been thinking about dosing it via my ATO for a while now but I'm just not too sure about it. Thanks
Those Jason fox insane rainbows are an awesome paly. Got a 5 polyp frag from him at the swap 2 yrs ago. Before sandy I easily had 30-40 polyps. Down to about 10-15 now. Glws
There are a few methods to help reduce the amount of water going back to the sump when the power is out. First is a check valve. This is a one way valve that will let water flow through but not back. Second is a siphon break which is a small hole drilled into the underside of the 90 that your...
This can be a common problem with the Venturi on any skimmer. I recommend cleaning all pumps about 2 times per year to keep them functioning properly. I will usually run my skimmer pump in a bucket of vinegar and hot water for 1/2 hour to an hour and then disassemble and clean. I do this for...
