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.
Sorry about this. When you're ready let me know and you can stop in for whatever I have too much of. I've got Bird's nest galore....grows like a weed in my tank. Originally from @downbeach .
Thanks Marcus.....that's it, but needs to be 1/2 inch.
I thought I found it at Grainger, but after reading the specs, the Quick Connect side is 1/4"......poo! (Also found it with 3/8 QC.) FYI, a 90 elbow valve would work as well.
Thanks Joe.....but what you raised is my issue. I can't fit that conventional Murlock (Quick Connect) valve along with two adapters on either side of the valve....between the manifold and reactor. So I'd have this valve:
and two of these connectors to tie into the reactor and manifold...
I'm looking for a 1/2" ball valve with a quick connect on one side and male pipe thread on the other. Basically this fitting, but with a valve in the middle:
I have a very tight space off my manifold and can not fit the quick connect adaptor, and then the valve....it all has to be one to...
Also realize @Army_Recruiter7 that it is metal halide, and will require a chiller. I too have never heard of anyone using a JBJ hood on a BioCube. I've got to believe it wouldn't fit.
Dan, I work on most Sundays, and will be leaving my house at about 10:45AM, and returning at about 5:15 - 5:30PM. If you wish to come before or after these times, that's fine with me.
The other options are: 1. Club Meeting - I'm trying my darnest to make this months meeting at Mark's...
New Pump Arrangement for New Saltwater
Since I've switched out my MAG return pump for a DC Waveline, I now have three MAG 9.5's sitting around. I'm still planning on using the MAG's as backups for the Waveline, but I really don't need all three......I better not! :eek:
I'm currently using...
Joe, I couldn't agree more about the use of unions....you can never have too many unions. However, I have a rather unique situation.......Two reasons. 1. My backup pump is a MAG 9.5 that would not have enough flow to run the return and manifold (this could probably be argued.).....and I...
Switching Teams: AC to DC
I've made the switch from an AC MAG 9.5 to a Waveline DC6000 DC return pump. (Thank you Tommy for a great deal) In the process, with the extra flow, I built my first manifold....a single pipe feed to my dual BRS reactor....does that still qualify as a manifold...
Not to mention that I think the smallest length of Pex is 100 feet. :eek: Although I wouldn't be a bit surprised is someone sells it by the foot. Go PVC!
Thanks to JakeAndAmanda over on R2R, HERE's an additional 10 dollar rebate for a bucket of IO or RC. I had to save the image to my computer and open in Acrobat Reader for it to all fit on one page.
Thanks for the heads up. I purchased the one and only bucket of Instant Ocean from the East Brunswick store. As of 3PM they still had one bucket of RC.
