I've only rebuilt my MP10.....haven't done the 40 yet.

I originally was a Koralia believer. I had the old school K4’s and complained, like everyone else, of them starting in reverse. But they were reliable, and other then the reverse thing, were good powerheads. They ran forever. The Evolutions came out….I bought four….and thought the...

I can’t comment on kalkwasser…..never have used it and probably never will. HOWEVER, a number of people have suggested using two part. You can buy this at any LFS, online, or make your own. I would also suggest you add testing for magnesium and dose accordingly. You have a...

Kevin, if you come up to Sunny's I'll bring my PC (netbook) for you to do whatever you need to do......assuming I could get online at Sunny's if that is required.

Kevin, that would be great if you could join use. Assuming all is good with Sunny, would you be available late Friday (say about 4 – 4:30), or any time on Sunday. And Sunny, how do those days look for you?

If you followed along with my canopy build, you’ve seen this before……molding. The molding will be very simple lattice, cut to 1 1/16” x 1/4”. This will only be applied to the top and bottom edges of the stand. First is the front “belly,” where I cut groves every half inch about 2/3 to ¾...

Thanks for the comment. However, you’ve brought up another sore point. I was using the house vacuum and that was not appreciated. I had to go downstairs and get the shop vac. As far as doors, I originally was just going to use standard offset hinges, but now don’t believe I will. I’ve...

Sounds good.....come and get it.

Kevin, thanks for commenting. As far as support under the column, that is a good point. I don’t know what code is today, but back in the day a lally column would require a 2’ x 2’ x 2’ concrete footing. I would guess that the basement floor is a four inch slab. I’m speculating that the...

Opinion needed…… Sunny’s new tank is going to run parallel to the joist below. The first four joists (engineered wood I-beams) are arranged, from the sill joist, ca 12 inches, ca 24 inches, ca 16 inches. The original plan was to support the two joists directly below the tank with a triple...

That's not what my wife said when she saw all the sawdust! :o

I finally got back to doing a little more work on the stand. Attached the sides and cut out the excess plywood. The way I did this was to first glue and nail (1” wire brads) one side to the carcass. From the inside, I then drilled four holes, one hole in each corner of the opening. This...

Anyone else?

I thought Davy Jones came with both a pingpong ball cut-off and float switch???

Your wife! :o The Board can thank me later and maybe visit Tri in the hospital.

Congratulations and best of luck to the incoming board. Dance

My first though was as others have suggested….paint it black. However, with a tad bit more thought, it being a peninsula, it’s got to go! Ligershark has nicely outlined how to go about doing it, but I’m not convinced you need to change the bulkheads. I’d leave whatever you have (probably...

Don, I’m loving it! I also like the toilet trick. Being of Irish heritage we use to do similar “green” things for the kids when they were young. They would expect it on Saint Patrick’s Day, and run around the house until they could find the items that the leprechaun had turned green. I...

Welcome Joey. Looks like a great start. I'm also a 90 galloner....with a 40B sump. Where are you located? And certainly ask away with any questions you might have.

+1. Ethan does nice work.
