    Kschweers rebuild. 57g rimless

    Luke, my son (I mean Kevin), don’t be drawn into the dark side by these Bogan deceivers who think that that monstrous black box is the way to go. Believe in the Force……….Glass-Holes! Knowing that the glass is not tempered, you’re 90% of the way there. Drilling is a breeze…..you keep the...

    Dance Glass-Holes Dance The only way I'd go with a tank. Those behemoth conventional overflows are a joke.

    Adding potentiometer on Chinese LEDs?

    Kevin, not a problem. Let me know when you'd like to take the trip. Also, have you watched any of the Glass-Holes videos?

    Adding potentiometer on Chinese LEDs?

    This isn’t coming from me, but from Der Wille Zur Macht over on RC who is an LED guru… You (typically) CAN NOT dim or control a typical LED rig by adding a resistor or potentiometer (sliding or otherwise) to the DC output, i.e. in series with the LED string. 99% of commercially produced HP LED...

    Dow flake and such

    John, again, it’s been a few years, but I purchased it from Edison Millworks and Hardware (a True Value Hardware store) located at 9 Old Post Road, Edison, just off of Woodbridge Avenue…..(732) 985-2700. Check True Value stores in your area. I’ve seen Prestone Driveway Heat in a number of...

    Dow flake and such

    I could not find DowFlake when I started using Randy’s two part a couple years ago. I ended up buying Preston Driveway Heat, and I’ve been using that since. It’s anhydrous, and therefore you only need two cups per gallon to make up the calc part. Randy does mention Driveway Heat as a...

    Quieting Overflow

    Back when we had an HOB, we had the same problem. Noisy! Built a durso style shorten stand-pipe that simply friction fitted into the bottom of the overflow…….a simple and inexpensive solution. I’ll go down into the basement, and if I find it, I’ll post a picture.

    Stainless Steel plus Saltwater Equals Rust

    Update: Correction – My wife was actually cooking something when I did the ramekin baking of the blades and see actually turned the oven up to 450. I didn’t know that until now. Just pulled the wire-hanging group out of the oven, and 350 wasn’t hot enough for Canola oil. I just have hot...

    Stainless Steel plus Saltwater Equals Rust

    I’m a Reef Gadget user. If you’re not familiar, this is a little piece of plastic that holds a razor blade, and it is glued to your Mag Float. It makes cleaning your glass a snap. I couldn’t live without it. It is actually my second most favorite purchase I’ve made for my tank...

    Oh no he didn't, oh yes he did 180 gal build

    Three months???? This is Brandon….”oh yes he did!“ He’ll be full blown reef by the end of February. In three months he’ll have a complete frag system set up, being fed by that complete reef tank.

    DIY MP10 Bearing Replacement

    Bob, I think you might be right. I just don’t think that post over on RC has found the right bearings for the MP10. These are radial bearings, in an environment of a fair amount of lateral forces. And I think it’s the lateral forces that are causing the problems with these bearings.

    Oh no he didn't, oh yes he did 180 gal build

    I knew it wouldn't last long.....what was it, about a week or so. :grin: So I'm guessing we no longer have a FOWLR. :p

    Paul’s petit réservoir d'eau salée

    Dance Brian, have no fear, these are not high powered Cree LED’s or the like. The total wattage for all 18 LED’s is 1.1 watts. Even at that, I’m sure it will still be on the bright side. Dance

    Paul’s petit réservoir d'eau salée

    The light I ordered doesn’t have moonlights so I ordered an 18 LED moonlight off ebay for less than 10 bucks. I’m actually curious how this inexpensive thing will work out. I’ll let you know when I get it.
