    Not sure what you are showing, but you need two polarized sources…..one in your computer screen or telephone and one in a film or pair of sunglasses. You put your computer/telephone on one side of the glass while on the other side is a polarized film or pair of polarized sunglasses. Your...

    DIY Nano Cube Stand

    Assembly of the Skeleton The 2 inch uprights were cut to length and pocket holes were drilled into each end. Top and bottom braces were cut to length and the four frames assembled. The frames were then glued and screwed to the top, and glued and screwed to each other: The arced...

    DIY Nano Cube Stand

    Side and Front Frames Here’s the rough design and cut diagram for the side and front frames: And here are those pieces ripped to proper width: I also noticed that it’s not truly ¾ ply…..it’s 23/32. So I’ll have to fit the front and back frames….no big deal, I would have done...

    The 210 tank build

    Have you considered Bayer Advanced Insecticide? I think it's more effective than Revive. Some say it kills eggs as well. Although I've only been using it a year of so, I've never had a problem with a coral.

    DIY Nano Cube Stand

    DIY Nano Stand I am very happy the way the DIY Nano Cube Canopy came out, I’ve decided to now build a similarly designed stand for the JBJ 28. There are other reasons I want a new stand as well. 1.) I’m not real happy with the stability, or lack of stability, of the stand. When I...

    Koralia evo makes noise on start up

    It is normal for the Evolutions to make a clicking sound on start-up. It's the impeller hitting that little rubber tit on the front cover. It keeps it from starting in reverse. I would suggest you take it off of the wavemaking function. Even though they tout them as being able to do...

    Stainless Steel plus Saltwater Equals Rust

    George, without question, this coating is protecting the blades. Going on three weeks and not a spot of rust. Actually as I type, I have four blades cooking at 450 degrees while I’m cooking up some spiced sweet potato fries. You have nothing to lose.....cook your blades with a little oil...

    Any plumbers?

    I be the man! If you want me to come by and clean your pipes, just let me know! :o :grin:

    Any plumbers?

    It’s hair and soap that have formed a waddie in your pipes. Unscrew that one little screw in the screen covering the drain. Be careful not to drop the screw into the drain. Remove the screen from the drain. Now unscrew the two screws holding in the stopper level….the one that opens and...

    DIY Nano Cube Canopy

    This never-ending project continues…….handling excess condensation. Since I’m going to build a new stand, I used one of the grates in the current JBJ stand to vent the canopy. I cut into the upper back panel and applied a small amount of silicone. I’m going to try this passive approach...

    Fish food

    Ryan, if you're up to it, see if you can get 10 to 12 members who want to get in on making a full batch. I will tell you your house will smell like a fish market.

    Happy Valentine's Day

    Happy St. Valentine’s fellow reefers! :love_heart: During this past snow storm, my neighbor returning home in his work truck backed his truck into his driveway. My wife heard the beep-beep-beep of his back-up warning, looked out the window, and then announced that Marco (my neighbor)...

    Koralia K1 Impeller

    I resurrected this post because I must respectfully disagree with the K1 being identical to the nano (425). The nano is flat faced while the K1 has an ovoid face. I actually pulled my Koralia Nano 425 out and here is what the impeller and shaft look like. Note the shaft is about as long as...

    Some fun with Photobucket's editor

    Wow! This is neat. I can take my crappy looking photos and make them look fantastic. (I wonder if it works on pictures of my wife? :o) I actually have been cursing out the new photobucket, being an old fart and not liking change. I still don’t like that the new cropping features don’t...

    DIY Nano Cube Canopy

    When I had the JBJ hood on there, I was still putting in maybe a cup a day. Realize I'm a lazy SOB and want a "set-it-and-forget-it" kind of tank.

    DIY Nano Cube Canopy

    This really is turning into a never-ending project. The condensation is so bad (and by the way, the standard JBJ hood condensed like crazy as well), that water is dripping off the bottom of the doors. Now I closed this up to minimize evaporation, but now I’m going to have to open it up some...
