    DIY Nano Cube Stand

    OK, so this is George’s fault. He questioned how I was holding the ReefKeeper to the stand and I commented that four stainless steel machine bolts would hold it on. I had already drilled the holes and purchased over seven dollars in stainless steel hardware. So with further thought I...

    Oh no he didn't, oh yes he did 180 gal build

    That means I've warned you. You might want to pick up earplugs so you can get to sleep.

    If two, 15 A outlets meet your needs, than you’ll be fine. You should also know that these inexpensive generators are very loud….very loud. The further you can get it from the house, the better off you’ll be. This will be the cheapest 328 dollar insurance policy you’ll ever buy. Mine...

    Nice! 6000 watts, you could run your entire house. I have a 3650 watt and I ran it 24/7 during Sandy and powered my boiler, refrigerator, television, entire tank, and a few lights. You’re not done spending money. That middle plug I think is a 30 three prong circular outlet. You most...

    Aptasia

    I ended up using boiling RO/DI water because I had quite a few in a small tank (JBJ 28) and was concerned that any chemical means (including lemon juice), would poison the tank. I first started using my turkey baster, but the heat made that cheap dollar store baster crack its entire length...

    Water changes

    Actually I’ve had some recent issues with RC and I’ve been doing some research….part of which covered the mixing thing and how long you could keep the saltwater. Here’s what the good Dr. Randy Holmes Farley had to say about sitting saltwater: "Depends on the salt mix and whether it has...

    iTzJu's 90 Gallon Mixed Reef Adventure :)

    Judeo, not sure if I’m seeing the picture clearly, but it would appear that the stand is assembled with screws supporting all the weight. This isn’t a good thing. You ideally want a design similar to this: This is easily fixed by cutting more dimensional lumber that snuggle fits between...

    Cant get my TDS meter to work.

    I would suggest you set up your two sensors this way....one coming out of the RO, the other coming out on the DI. This way you'll know when your membrane goes and you'll know when your DI is shot.

    Cant get my TDS meter to work.

    They would be "normal" numbers assuming 86 is your tap water TDS (actually fairly low), and 2 is coming out of your RO. Now if you also have DI, 2 would not be acceptable....should be zero.

    DIY Nano Cube Stand

    Thanks George. To answer your question; not sure if you are familiar with ReefKeepers, but they have a flange on either side of the controller display were each flange has two holes: Each of those holes will have a #6 – ½ stainless steel machine screw with nut. If you look closely in...

    Cleaning power heads

    I don't dilute....use it straight and let it soak at least overnight and scrub with a small brass wire brush. You can find these at the dollar store alone with a stainless steal and plastic wire brush in the set.

    Can't find dow flake

    First off did you see the shipping costs…….33.56 for a ten dollar bag. Ouch! I’d be skeptical for two reasons: 1.) The label says 77-80% pure. Now that might be the actual calcium chloride content because it’s a hydrated form or it might be “crap”…..you don’t know. If I were to...

    DIY Nano Cube Stand

    Picked up another used Reefkeeper 2 last night (Thanks Rudy), so I now have three of these controllers. These are my favorite controller….easy to use and just the right amount of connectivity to the internet. :grin: This controller will be mounted in the front of the stand through a...

    Best salt mix

    Jason, the salt group buy is this month (March) and hopefully we will be doing better than what you've posted (We have in years past.) Hate to deflate your bubble! :p And it better be soon because I'm running on fumes for salt. Definitely ordering an extra box to get through next year.
