One more thing....you don't want that real thin window pane glass like you find at HD or Lowes. I would suggest a minimum of 3/16 inch glass (ca 5 mm).

1. Decide the height of your baffles.....consider wash-back volume from the DT when the pumps are off. 2. Decide on the size of each section.....skimmer sized to fit....return section.....refugium. 3. Consider if you wish to add a sock. 4. Have the glass cut 1/16 less than the inside width of...

Now that's an expensive lawnmower! :D

I could do tonight if it's not too late........I need my beauty sleep.

What day? Again, I'm available Sunday....all day....but would prefer getting it done early.

Welcome Karen....start a tale of the tank! And include pictures.

I would hope not.....it's the only drill I've used to drill a tank:

You need to actually have a reservoir of water so that the bit is sitting in water. I would think simply spraying would cause for hot spots, that once wetted, would cool too quickly and cause it to crack. If you had a drill guide (which I highly recommend), add a little plumber’s putty to the...

Explain.....was it tempered glass? What happened? If you want to bring it to me, I'll drill it.....NO GUARANTEES

I've only rebuilt my MP10.....haven't done the 40 yet.

I originally was a Koralia believer. I had the old school K4’s and complained, like everyone else, of them starting in reverse. But they were reliable, and other then the reverse thing, were good powerheads. They ran forever. The Evolutions came out….I bought four….and thought the...

I can’t comment on kalkwasser…..never have used it and probably never will. HOWEVER, a number of people have suggested using two part. You can buy this at any LFS, online, or make your own. I would also suggest you add testing for magnesium and dose accordingly. You have a...

Kevin, if you come up to Sunny's I'll bring my PC (netbook) for you to do whatever you need to do......assuming I could get online at Sunny's if that is required.

Kevin, that would be great if you could join use. Assuming all is good with Sunny, would you be available late Friday (say about 4 – 4:30), or any time on Sunday. And Sunny, how do those days look for you?

If you followed along with my canopy build, you’ve seen this before……molding. The molding will be very simple lattice, cut to 1 1/16” x 1/4”. This will only be applied to the top and bottom edges of the stand. First is the front “belly,” where I cut groves every half inch about 2/3 to ¾...

Thanks for the comment. However, you’ve brought up another sore point. I was using the house vacuum and that was not appreciated. I had to go downstairs and get the shop vac. As far as doors, I originally was just going to use standard offset hinges, but now don’t believe I will. I’ve...

Sounds good.....come and get it.

Kevin, thanks for commenting. As far as support under the column, that is a good point. I don’t know what code is today, but back in the day a lally column would require a 2’ x 2’ x 2’ concrete footing. I would guess that the basement floor is a four inch slab. I’m speculating that the...

Opinion needed…… Sunny’s new tank is going to run parallel to the joist below. The first four joists (engineered wood I-beams) are arranged, from the sill joist, ca 12 inches, ca 24 inches, ca 16 inches. The original plan was to support the two joists directly below the tank with a triple...

That's not what my wife said when she saw all the sawdust! :o
