HD also has the O-Rings, HERE.

If you still have the O-Ring and it's in one piece, put a little plumber's grease on it. I actually use Leslie's Pool Lube...it's the same stuff at a fraction of the cost. You need to buy that in a Leslie's Pool Store. In your area, there is one in Hamilton (950 Highway 33, Hamilton, NJ)...

Thanks George...the hover thing clicking on the X did it. NJRC is now number one and R2R is number 2. Thanks.

News Flash! Four men fell through a dilapidated front porch while delivering a new 135 gallon fish tank. No serious injuries, but the tank was a total loss. :o Congratulations Matt. Will be following along with this tale.

Wow, Earl! You get eight website icons on your Chrome page. I guess size does matter….I only have a netbook, so I only get six. But that’s the page I’m talking about.

Epoxied in the broken piece. When the epoxy cures, I’ll sand off that excess you see to make it nice and smooth. This might work! Love that JB-Weld Epoxy. With a little extra left over, I fragged the Bird’s Nest…..And my wife says I get nothing done during the day! Now where are the...

George, let me see if I can explain. When I open Chrome I have a page that shows six websites…and again, I assumed these were in order of “most visited.”….it certainly seemed that way. About a month ago I noticed Yahoo was first on this page, and NJRC got pushed to the right. Now Mapquest...

What’s going on with Google Chrome and the order of websites. NJRC and R2R were always number 1 and 2 when I opened Chrome. I was under the impression it was because they were the two sites I visited the most. Over the past month Yahoo is now number 1 and Mapquest is number 2. I go to...

Anyone else see this problem with their Ecotech MP40’s? I am doing my quarterly cleaning of the MP40’s, and when I take one apart I find a small sliver of plastic broken off the Wet Frame. This is the second time I’ve had this issue. You can see the finger-nail shaped piece of plastic to...

THIS one might be a little better in understanding the relationship….and it has pictures! And HERE’S another good read…..suck down a box of Ex-Lax and get back into the bathroom to read this one.

Following along with this build…..nice documentation. I like that spray bar at the bottom of the tank. Once you get this going, update to comment if that works. I have a barebottom JBJ28 and you wouldn’t believe the stuff that accumulates on the bottom.

Sagging Floor Saga So here’s the latest thought process on the sagging floor due to the fish tank. But first I want to reflect on the advice given to me when this tank was first installed. I questioned the weight, and was vehemently told that there was no need to sister the joists…that a 90...

Paul, if you're in the Sayreville area, I'll give you some King Midas zoas....no trade needed.

Jeff, thanks for the comments. Here is my thought process right now….and it’s been changing faster than the weather: That room in the basement still has open studded walls (or still waiting for studs)…and it’s a little over 8 feet wide. I’m thinking two small steel I-beams perpendicular to...

OK, I’ve investigated further. From within the fish room the floor pitches to the tank. So the tank is deflecting the floor downward. I then did a foot-print drawing to see were the tank was sitting: I then went down into the basement with an eight foot straight edge and put it up...

George, I am the Master of the house. I know this because my wife told me I could be (when see wasn’t home.) Actually the only time she goes into the fish room is to dump stuff that she believes belongs to me. She does the same with my shop. So for her,it’s just a dumping ground. In...

Your link didn't work and found that you left out an "s" in waters.....this one should work: http://www.murkywatersaquariumsupplies.com Anyway, never heard of them, but i'll be checking them out.

Let me better explain the picture…..and I’m talking about this one: I am in the basement looking down the length of the joists that are parallel to the tank immediately above. You can see two copper pipes going across the view that bend upward. Those are to feed a radiator in the...

Pete, you are correct that wood shrinks and swells with changes in humidity. Woodworks are aware of this in building cross-grain furniture. I just had to fix an antique cedar chest that wasn’t constructed correctly. The people before me would continue to add more nails to the cross grained...

George, it’s the floor! That first picture of a level is on the floor right next to the tank. From the wall, the floor drops off a quarter inch or so within two feet. It’s verified in checking the plumb of the tank. It’s leaning away from the wall. I’m also not crazy about jacking the...
