My local HD has a very large selection of tubing fittings. I'm sure they would have this common 1/4 inch elbow. I recently picked up 3/8 elbows, NPT on one end with the quick connect on the other.

You guys are killing me will all your comments. For those of use who don’t use a grounding probe, Method 1 is how we usually find out about stray voltage. For all those that wish to use a grounding probe, you have protected yourself from a little tingle, but will not know you have a voltage...

Since standard household line voltage is 120 volts, you will want the "200" scale.

Identify the culprit by unplugging one by one. Once found, take it out and carefully place it on your driveway. With a large sledge hammer, beat the living crap out of it. Oh, and now you need to replace that busted up piece of equipment.

There are two methods: 1. Standing in bare feet and preferably a little damp, stick you hand in the tank. If you feel a tingle, you’ve got stray voltage. 2. Using a VOM (Voltage/ohm/meter…..also called a multimeter), set it to read AC VOLTS. Take one of the probes (and it doesn’t...

You're confusing pH and Alkalinity. :)

Mr. Ignorance here! So both of you were seeing RTNing were also running biopellets. Where was the alk number? It’s my ignorant opinion that alk needs to be on the low side when running biopellets. Could you be seeing alk burn because of “relatively” high alk with the pellets? I’ve...

I would highly recommend the Red Sea Pro Multi Test kit that tests Alk, Calc and Mg.

Justin, if you want I could stop by and check your numbers using a Red Sea test kit.....OR you could bring a small volume of water to me.

My bottom was open. However, it was more or less buried in sand with some rock around it. Closed would work as well. I also drilled a couple holes in the reducing coupling to allow air to escape. Oh, and obviously my drain lines coming down from the DT are 1 1/2 pipe. You will need...

I’m typically a slow-as-you-go type of person with the tank. However, your alk is burning high. It’s damaging! So I personally would start with a 50% change to get it down to something less “burning.” I say this with ignorance because I’ve never had 19dKH, but that is coral-damaging...

I'd like the Reefkeeper 2....assuming it comes with the DC8.

Here’s the bubble trap I made for the incoming pipe in the refugium. It was made using a 3” by 1 ½” sanitary tee with a 3” to 1 ½” coupling in one end and a short length of 3” pipe on the other end. The 1 ½ hole in the coupling was slightly widened using a rasp so that the 1 ½ pipe could be...

Happy Birthday Rich.

I have to agree.....nice pair of cans! I had to make my photobucket accounts "private" because of the threatening comments I was receiving, and not being addressed by photobucket.

Also check Pond Supply places.....MAG's are popular pumps for those guys as well.

I've got plenty left. Let me know when you'd like to stop by.

I agree with George…..all for adoptions. However, if I want a German Shorthaired Pointer because I’m a hunter, I’m not going to find that at a shelter. If I lived in San Diego, I’d just have to drive to the next county to buy my dog. Don’t punish legitimate breeders because San Diego has a...

I have one over my JBJ28....cranked down to about 50%. Great light!

Kenpa, I switched from T5’s to LEDs for the same reasons you mention……The cost of bulb replacement, cost of electricity, and heat…..and I couldn’t be happier. Did some stuff “color morph?”……YES. But I still like what I got. On my 90DT I’m running two Apollo’s and on the JBJ28, a...
