That one you linked looks awfully small. Might work OK for a nano. HERE’s a link to Paul B’s DIY scrubber.

I'd be curious about the price. A company I worked for made a slip coating for the bottom of boats. Cost us a few dollars to make and we sold it for $160/gallon.

I recharge DI......it's pretty easy to do if you're interested. Look HERE. I believe you're in the Somerville area???

You want to mix salt overnight (OR for shorter periods with very high agitation) for three reasons: 1.) Completely dissolve the salt and other goodies in there. 2.) Stabilize pH. 3.) Aerate the water with oxygen. My guess is that your pH was high (typical with some salts when first mixed...

Welcome back Paul. Dance Looking good. Get some water, a heater and the MP in there to get that rock curing. Don't need the sump for that.

George’s post above reminded me about this little experiment. About a week ago I finally got around to cooking these blades. They received a light coat of Canola oil and then suspended in a 425 degree oven for one hour. After cooling, I went to wipe off any excess oil, and they were...

I went to ThomasNet.com and typed in “Waste Oil,” Southern New Jersey, and got 21 hits. I know a bunch of these are probably no good, but some might pan out. HERE’s the link, if it will work. Otherwise go to the above site and type in “Waste Oil.”

Pictures! Woo Hoo! I like your worms….. (now there’s a line you don’t hear frequently)

That new house will look fantastic with a beautiful reef tank and a couple folding beach chairs.

Well today is Sunday? So Monday it is! :grin:

This is a difficult decision that obviously needs to be made by you. Realize that you’ll be lucky to get 50 cents on the dollar for your setup. It’s not going to pay for much! The big advantage over others that have moved is that you won’t have to take the tank the same day you move all...

And here is the plexiglass cover held in place by a frame. I originally said ¼ inch, but it’s actually 1/8” plexiglass. I remain having a slight bit of concern over the amount of condensation on the inside of the canopy. Just have to keep an eye on it. At least the light will...

Home Depot has a slew of John Guest like fittings. They are made by Watts and labeled quick connect fittings. Come in ¼, 3/8 and ½…….and fit clear tubing. You can see where I used quick connect elbows for a sight tube in THIS diy. Not sure of your application, but I tapped it...

POSTING PICTURES: If you take the web address (http://blah, blah, blah) and place it between this: You will see the picture within the post….. EDIT TO ADD: For some reason that didn't work....maybe because it's a secure website....https. Let's try making the thumbnail a picture...

Nice! I can even see your reflection in the glass. :o There are loads of differing RTV's........What RTV did you use on this build?

Darn you Zippy! If you hadn’t mentioned this, it wouldn’t have happened…….(this is a proverb from the Book of Ostriches). I checked the canopy/light fixture for moisture this morning and this is what I found on the front wood piece: And the light was dripping condensation...

Check out your head loss HERE. I use a MAG 18 to empty my waste water from the RO/DI. In the summer, most goes on my lawn, an approximate seven foot head. Now it's only going through 3/4 inch pipe/hose. I have to run that pump at least a half hour to empty the 55 gallon drum.

Now hold on one minute. Let’s analyze this…..you’ve got Nikki (a woman); a bottle of wine; some chocolate treats; whipped cream (not necessarily used on the brownies)……........doesn’t sound like a fight to me. I think Mike needs to worry about what’s going on here. :o :grin:

Thanks everyone for the compliments. Now if only I could get the tank looking good. Matt, Mike (greybolt) had the answer.....hardware stores, even HD or Lowe's carry these. They are called plastic cable clamps.

Wow John! Looks real good. I like it. I also had a little deja vu episode with the RTV reminding me of my engine rebuilding days. That stuff can take major abuse with hot engine oils and still hold up. I use to use blue and yellow RTV.....good stuff.
