Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Joe (?, I'm assuming that is you),
First off, welcome to our club forums! Glad you decided to sponsor here and appreciate you stopping by to comment in my thread. :grin: I've sent you a few emails and you provided me with good replies. I've seen just about every vid made by your customers and...
I like the concept, I just don't think it's fail safe. If for some reason the siphon break tube pops out of the hole in the elbow... your return pump is going to be spraying water all over.
I wouldn't be worried about the lil bit of flow that gets lost back to the drain pipe. That's a minor...
Kevin, I don't know why, but whenever I see your avatar it makes me think all of your posts are jokes. I'm sure some of them are meant to be serious, but that avatar tricks my brain, lol. :)
According to the Hydor product page these pumps are "timer compatible". Mousing over this icon shows a popup stating: "CONTROLLABLE - Can be connected to a timer and can work on intervals of sec, min, or hrs."
I think that means that you can plug them into a timer to turn them on/off at certain...
That's probably the case Brian. It wouldn't suprise me at all because I can't see any other reason why the Engineer's at EcoTech would intentionally put the fan on the bottom. Even if it's intended to be 12" (or whatever "safe" distance) above the water... it's still a better idea to put the...
Thanks Jim. I don't know anything about coding with Arduino, but I have some limited experience with programming and can learn it if I want/need to. Besides that, there is a forum over there that I'm currently viewing and it seems like just about any request for specific coding is provided by...
Has anyone here used one of these controllers before?
Reef Angel
It looks like it can do just about anything an Apex can, even more if you know anything about coding or the Arduino programming language.
The cost of this thing is cheap at $219 for the basic package, although it can add up if...
Oh, gotcha. Talk to Daniel. I know he knows people at WM. Maybe he can have them sell you a different cup with the nipple in it? Or maybe they could at least send you the nipple and you could drill and install it?
From what I understand, WM is pretty good with custom orders and such so they...
Kevin, isn't this what your skimmer looks like? If so, the white thing hanging down in the middle should be a drain tube connection for your collection cup.
Yea, and Merry Christmas to the person who used our company's Lowes card and made out the $13,431.17 worth of merchandise over 5 purchases in November. We were shocked to find our January statement that included interest and late fees on the $13k statement for December... which we never even...
Welcome to the club Joe. Looking forward to seeing some pics of your tank... maybe you can start a tale of the tank thread for your rebuild?
Anyway, Happy Holidays to you too.
10.5" ? That's good. I'm going to make a canopy for my new LED's and just trying to get an idea of how high I need to make it. Most likely getting the Sol Blues, but still contemplating a possible DIY build since it will be hidden in the canopy anyway. Your lights don't appear to have a...
