LOL….at first I didn’t get this (I don't get out much)...…searching quotes, I have a response: You know what Pretty Boy, I do want you to express yourself, okay. And you don’t need 37 pieces of flair to do it.

Brandon, your sluge jug will sell….I guarantee it! Really, how many people on this site have a 12 inch saw, tap and dies, and the tools to build this? I can only think of maybe three….and I’m guessing at what they have in their shop. You have your jug fairly priced and it will sell. For...

Thanks Taz! On another forum I was asked what the cost would be if I included the stuff I already had (4” pipe and the float switch.) Well 110V float switches with the amps to drive motors are pretty costly, so here’s a cost breakdown using a relay with float switch from Aquahub. The other...

A BIG +1 All this photon talk brought me back to the original Star Trek days. :p The photon is a photon comment needs a little tweaking. At a fixed wavelength, a photon is a photon. Realize that photons are produced at any and all wavelengths and that there is an inverse relationship...

I haven’t seen too many back-room filter systems for LFS’s, but this is the first that I’ve seen that has, what appears to be, a swimming pool sand filter as part of its system. Also looks like they’ve got a gigantic UV sterilizer there as well. Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

Greg, glad to see you’re still alive. I’ve missed you witty repartee. Hope you made out well with the little blow from Sandy.

PREFACE I currently collect my skimmate in a one gallon fruit juice container that sits in a cut-down five gallon salt bucket that contains a float switch to kill the skimmer if the fruit juice container overflows. Functional, but big and ugly. I looked into purchasing a commercial...

Drill....drill....drill! Drill a small hole towards the top of the sump to pass a tube out from the skimmer to the locker.

Now this is a serious DIY’er who installs his tank backwards so that he can show off his handy-craft over what is in his tank. :grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::o Very nicely done Brian. Well you know how critical I am…..my only comment, if I see this correctly, is that you...

It isn’t Festivus without it. To quote Father Festivus, "Festivus is not over until the head of the household is wrestled to the floor and pinned." Let’s Rumble!

I don’t know….maybe it’s the angle of the photo….but looking at the baffle height, the skimmer looks like it’s too deep into water. Won’t you have to elevate that skimmer a bit higher in the sump. And even if you didn’t, you could always drill a hole in the glass for the tubing to reach the...

Kevin, I think you’ve got it. Being a newbie, I’ve never heard of them before, but looking at a picture, I think you’re spot on.

Possibly a nudibranch???? They come is all different shapes, colors, etc. What size and movement are you seeing?

Prior to Christmas is Festivus….for the rest of us. So happy Festivus, for those of us who don’t believe in the commercialism. I’m mulling over my “Airing of Grievances,” as we speak….and the pole is up….although I couldn’t afford aluminum, and went with galvanized. :grin:

Good news Ed.....but show his handy-work.....where are the pictures! I'm curious....just is case.

I don’t have the address for the new store, but it is right next door to the International Deli, whose address is 702 Bound Brook Road, Dunellen, NJ 08812.

But do you understand what I'm saying, or would you like further detail? The open-ness of that hole in the downtube to the tee-hole controls your foam height. When the down tube is pushed into the tee, you won't see that gasket. It seals the down tube in the tee.

If you are talking about the hole opposite the black nipple, that’s a breather hole for the bubbly water exiting the skimmer. I must have missed English class when this vernacular was taught. However, if I translate this into Klingon, I think I understand what you are asking. That...

Thanks George and John. Mods, lock this one too!

Thanks Kevin and Brian. Mods, lock it up!
