    Leave of absence is over!

    I can't help with the baffles and any recommendations for folks up north. The overflow with 1 inch drain and 3/4 return is normal. Your drain is by gravity, and one inch gravity is around 700 gph. The return is under pressure, albeit fairly low, and with the Tunze rated at 792 gph (at 24...

    DIY Float Switch on the Cheap

    Marcus, everything you've seen so far is ATO applicable.....especially what you're about to see.....dual float switches. What you are seeing is very similar to what you'd get with an AquaHub Premium Kit for about 40 bucks. Well, that didn't last long! I decided to splurge and spend a...

    DIY Float Switch on the Cheap

    My wife always complains that I'm cheap, and still have my Communion money. Here is my shot at a DIY for a float switch with minimal expendature. Note that this could be used for an ATO by simply adding a small pump, such as a Tom's Aqualifer. I will give as much detail as I can...

    Horseplay's 105g Rimless

    I'm on a computer and don't see the pictures????? (In both posts 82 and 83) EDIT TO ADD: Just went on my phone and don't see the photos there either.

    Any mechanics???

    I'm still at a loss why leaving your key on would cause a BCM problem??? However, it certainly sounds like that's the problem. Give me a 54 Packard (that came with no electronics), that simply had two wires going to the engine. And here's the bizarre part, you could disconnect one of...

    Thanks. I'm just wondering if it's too much black.

    Filter Floss in BRS Dual Reactor

    I've only been running carbon in my BRS dual reactor....because I also run biopellets and didn't want the GFO to strip out all the phosphate. What I've noticed is that my carbon would clog up with detritus, and have to be cleaned out prematurely. I would usually run carbon for about two...

    Looking to upgrade lighting

    I guess you can't see it on a phone, but on a computer, the bottom of his post states that he has a 65 gallon tank.

    Looking to upgrade lighting

    New baby on the way and daddy needs new lights! Ouch! :D RJ, @Olivier was selling two Apollo's.....these are the same LEDs I have.....I think for $100 for both. I've tagged him here, but you might wish to send him a PM as well. If you wish, stop in and I'll show you what they look...

    Let us know what you find out about the place. I'm now sort of curious. Happy shopping!

    I've never been there and don't even know if they sell livestock, but there is a place on Rt 18 in E. Brunswick that is run by that guy (can't remember his name) originally from Somerville.....I'll see if I can find the name and location and get back to you. FOUND IT! Aquaridise 415 NJ-18, #8...

    Same here Kevin. Not originally planned, but when I put in that false wall with nothing incorporated into that wall.....and the light spilling over into this section........and with having the similar open panel in the sump door of the stand, I thought it would work out well. I'm liking...

    Inherited 90

    I finally got around to finishing up the equipment cabinet by finishing the doors. The doors have no hinges. They are attached by having two dowels on the lower portion of the door that fit into holes on the faceframe. On the top part of each door, centered on the inside portion of the...

    String in MAG Pump - Doh!!!

    Thanks everyone.....it helps. Bob thanks for your kind offer but a couple things....the original MAG is still going strong (but with four of the six screws), I already have a back-up MAG, and @BuGG gave me the heads up of a guy in Edison selling a new MAG 9.5 for $50....so I'm set for...

    600+ Gallon tank build!

    Darn! That's a nice looking tank. But then again, anything big looks good. :eek:

    String in MAG Pump - Doh!!!

    I think you might be right Joe about O2.

    String in MAG Pump - Doh!!!

    Even with two MP4o's going? I will state that the Butterfly was always out and about. When lights when out, everybody disappeared, except the the Butterfly. He'd stay out and swim around non-stop, so maybe he was using O2 more.

    String in MAG Pump - Doh!!!

    Thanks @saltkreep88 , @BuGG , @kschweer and @Hawkeye . It would now appear that I've also lost my Coral Beauty as well. Haven't seen it all day....and no body. A simple 6 degree change in temperature and two fish die! I was really bummed out today. Maybe I should be happy that...
