Jon, thank you to you and your wife for opening up your house to a bunch of strangers. I really enjoyed the small group....made it feel very homey. Tank looks great and can't complain about the raffle.....everyone was a winner.

I just picked up a new computer and would like to transfer the files (pictures and documents), from the old to the new. What’s the easiest way of doing that? Can I simply attach a cable from one to the other, or do I need software or knowledge? Obviously, I don’t have the knowledge! I...

It’s only “approved” for DVW…..(Did I get those acronym letters straight, or is it DWV….whatever, it means Drain, Vent, Waste….not sure of their official order.)

Just like Mike, I’ll be bringing a little “dish” with me too. :o However, my dish will be Walnut brownies. I would imagine most of us will be coming via Route 1. Just watch for all the red-light cameras. There are a boat load of cameras along this stretch of the road, and they’re set...

Just to clarify, the pipe is actually 1 1/2 inch pipe. I used rigid PVC. Make sure you throw in a couple unions in there just in case you need to take it apart.

Paul, I tried to find the original posts about your sock monkey, but eventually realized this was back in 2010. Let’s say that this website crashed around June 1, 2011, where all post going back about 1 ½ years were lost. So the posts about your sock monkey were lost. Anyway, maybe this...

George, that's not story...it's a tome! Please straighten out PaulB's picture issues.....I can't take all the writing! And they say a picture is worth a thousand words....hopefully that will cut down on the length of these posts. :o :grin: Glad to see you re-found us Paul. Is your...

Oops, my bad! I’m just a wealth of mis-information. When I looked up the game info, I didn’t realize I was looking at the 2013 game schedule….so also, no pink. Sorry. Game is on Sunday at 3….if I looked it up right.

Karen, Just an FYI if you do end up going…..It is the annual WBCA Play 4Kay Pink Night, in memory of the late Kay Vow, former coach at North Carolina State. Fans are asked to wear pink to the game. But wait.....you signed up for the monthly meeting, and I think the game touches off at 4...

+1 Just skin contact can be cause for major problems.....I know first hand.

ABS is safe to use in you tank.

I did a quick search, so I'm not sure about color. I will tell you that two of the split returns I have (Chinese Loc-line), costing $6 each, with free shipping, and are black. But realize, this was back in 2008. It might take a little creative searching on ebay.

For Loc-Line, if you don't mind the "Chinese" knock-off, search ebay for "flexible pipe." Here's an example I quickly found that was only 8 bucks...with free shipping:

If I was doing a tank today, I’d be using Jabeo’s as well. I think people who spend the money of Vortechs are idiots…..I own four of them! :o

I’d prefer if you lie to me, and told me you weren’t stealing the idea! :p If you’re up in the area and wish to see it first hand, you’re welcome. And it’s not a ton of flow because I don’t run the MP’s wide open….they eat their bearings if you do.

Yep! Two MP40's and a Koralia 1400.

Yes.....running along the top of the tank, but dumping in at four locations. The return line comes up to the top-center of the tank to a tee. The tee goes out left and right, to a respective other tee, and ends with an elbow. Off of these tees and elbows are four Loc-Line returns. This...

Yes.....or you can drill the tank for the returns as well....they sell those kits as well. However, I prefer coming up over the top....that's what I did. Here's the picture from the back side showing the two drains and one return:

I'm no expert, but doesn't Quinine also wipe out your bacteria? I thought it had to be used in a QT/hospital tank because of that.

I can’t count stages, but I’d use, as a minimum 1. Sediment filter 2. Carbon block 3. Carbon block (or chloramines, if needed) 4. RO membrane At this point, I’m in agreement with Lostinthedark…….I would put in a Tee and send one line to the DI unit (to be used for the fish tank), and the...
