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.
I would say that 1 inch PVC is a bigggggg hole.....about an inch and a quarter+. I'd be looking at 1/2 inch CPVC....it's a light tan color and smaller than regular 1/2 inch PVC. My local HD no longer carries it, but Lowe's does.
Brandon, if I could, I would offer some helpful tips as well. Unfortunately, the only thing I was ever good at fixing on a TV were the knobs. So if your TV has a problem with the knobs, I’m your man! (You can also see in the picture I know a couple antenna tricks as well.) Call me if you...
Olivier, I’m sorry to see this post about you getting out, but I fully understand. :(
I am interested in the BRS dosing pumps. You don’t mention, but the pictures show two pumps…….I would like both pumps please. Let me know what works for you about picking up.
Thanks, Paul
I’m not convinced you need a new membrane. Knowledge of you ejection rate and in coming TDS will easily tell you if you need a new membrane. The best ejection rate I’m aware of is 98%, and the worst I’ve heard is 75% (go figure?). If you have a 98% membrane and your incoming TDS is in the...
Brian and Mrs. Fish Brain, thanks for opening your house to this month’s meeting. I know my wife would have been having spasms seeing the cottage-like home you have. Also can’t complain about the great weather we had. Good seeing some old faces as well as a bunch of new faces. Thanks...
Wire Closet Closing Mechanism
Below are the details on how the wire closet will be kept closed. With the wire closet in place, a hole was drilled to fit a ¼ - 20 thumb screw (slightly larger than a ¼” hole). This hole went through the closet cover flange and the stand leg…..located about...
Can someone help me out, just in case I might want to do this in the future. I’m not sure what went on with this group buy. I thought it had something to do with a “grow out.” And then I see that everyone is paying something like $240…..times something like 10 people…to buy coral...
Kevin, you're too kind.
A fellow reefer stopped by today and commented that he didn’t understand the scale of the wire closet in the above pictures. There was an “ah-ha” moment when he saw the stand. Here’s a picture of the entire stand, where you can see the location of the wire closet...
NOTE TO SELF: Stay away from Apex and stick with the old school Reefkeeper 2 that I have….designed for idiots! :grin:
Good luck getting it all straighten out.
Wow, with a bar sink! From the size of that propane tank, someone does some serious pipe sweating! Add in one more tee on the cold water line so your RO/DI will be right there.
Looking really nice; keep the pictures coming.
Wire closet
Made a wire closet for all the electronic stuff. A trapezoidal box was made with ½ inch ply top and bottom….1/4 ply all sides. Here’s a front/top view:
And back/top view:
Trapezoid angle was 30 degrees.
This box fits into the back side of the stand by one...
Thanks Brian. I’m not familiar with this ATO, so I set it up with a light plugged into the controllable outlet to check its functions. The first thing noted was that one of the float switches was DOA. So I now only have one anyway. But verifying what Brian said, after a couple minutes...
I picked up a used JBJ ATO to use on a JBJ 28 tank. My interests were to set it up using both floats to turn the pump off when they “floated”. I basically want a two float system to assure when one switch went bad, the other would still turn off the pump to the water reservoir.
So I’m...
First off, I thought filefish were iffy when it came to coral.
You might be onto something here.....either all that aptasia X and/or all that death of the little devils.
I'd do a relatively large water change....in the 30% range or higher.
How long have you had it and where is it in relationship to light and flow?
Have you changed anything….lights, salt, dosing, reactors?
What do you do to dose and what are you alk, calc and mag numbers?
What’s the frequency of water changes and volume? What is your nitrate looking like...
