If you know someone who belongs to one of the "club" stores, you can pick up the 13.5 pound bag of Arm and Hammer Baking Soda for about 6 bucks.....which will make about 12 gallons of Alk solution......dirt cheap!!!!

Sorry, Bill Wann in Wisconsin has this little 8000 gallon tank beat by a long shot. Bill's tank is 20,000 gallons....and yes, he needs to dive in it to clean it. Google Bill Wann Aquarium....you'll be amazed. Thanks for sharing.

Greatly appreciated....that will save me. I don't know what speed it's in.......I've got to believe some safety mode speed....but it's not that fast, and it's non-controllable. This is the second Vortech controller that's crapped out on me....the other was a much newer MP10. I did crack...

Don't know about Finnex. I will tell you that my second choice is Sera. I'll use their heaters when a Jager won't fit......that's my one complaint about Jager's, they are long.

I have the smaller Sicce Syncra on my biopellet reactor (I think the 1.0)....I believe they are all built the same.....they come apart very easily, so take it apart. There is a rubber o-ring around the faceplate of the pump. EDIT TO ADD: HERE's a video on taking apart a Sicce

I don't know Apex, but I'm surprised that it doesn't actually control your heaters. I have old school ReefKeeper 2 and it controls my two heaters from 78.0 to 78.3....never fluctuates from these temp's unless it's summer and I haven't turned on the air conditioner. Go Eheim Jager......twice...

I think they are just testing your email for when you decide to run for one of the positions on the Executive Board. :eek: Actually, I have no idea. I did just check my email and the only notifications I get are for PM's....otherwise, nothing else. By chance did you go into your...

Let me know what you find with Dow Flakes....I've never found it locally. Note that Dow also sells their calcium chloride to others for that company to market and sell......I know Panther Industries is one of these companies....but they're Canadian. I've been using Prestone Driveway Heat...

Well it's happen again! I'm wondering if this is a sign of the controller crapping out? Going to reset it and see what happens. EDIT TO ADD: I answered that question.....it's crapped out! Just attempted to do the reset.....four times, and on restart, immediately went to the red light.

FYI, Monti is SPS....but it's a good beginners SPS.

I'm sure I have some as well.....and I'm just across the river from Edison. I should be home on Sunday afternoon as well.

I'm liking it! Pictures? The image in the OP isn't showing up. EDIT TO ADD: OP image now showing up. Could we see images of it not lit? Where did you hide the power supplies? What heat transfer compound did you use? Is it set up in Series of Parallel?

Brandon, I'm interested in the 55 gallon package, but the earliest I could come would be Sunday. I've also never heard of a 55 long....what are the dimensions? This will be perfect for a QT with all the fish I need to replace.

RJ, two suggestions: 1. HERE's the DIY write up I did....for about $13. If interested, I could do the soldering for you....or actually assemble the whole thing if you buy the parts. 2. Option two is to pick up Aquahub's Premium kit....for $40.....still requires assembly, but no soldering...

Marcus if you would like purple Monti cap, even though I recently did a clean out, I've got some you could have for nada! I'm trying to get the green, orange and purple monti cap out of my tank.

I say bare bottom.....all the way around. :rolleyes:

Bob, I never had a snail guard on a horizontal float switch....considering I have this in my ATO reservoir in RO/DI water....with no snails. However, on vertical float switches, I've used little plastic jars with a wide-mouth lids were I've drilled holes in the side of the plastic bottle...

This was listed as "Bad Nursery Ideas" Looks good to me....I can only guess they didn't have proper lighting! :eek: :D

I'm a DIY two part'er. Right now I'm dealing with excessively high calcium by relying on an expired test kit.....Doh!......I should have known better. Waiting for three new Salifert kits to arrive......First time using Salifert.....can't wait to try them. And yes, I dose DIY mag on an as...

HERE is the actual float switches I used. Note, it takes a couple weeks to get these things from China.
