WOW! WOW Don….this has been like three months. You are lucky!..... For you and your tank. Glad that you found the problem.

I be the man! If you want me to come by and clean your pipes, just let me know! :o :grin:

It’s hair and soap that have formed a waddie in your pipes. Unscrew that one little screw in the screen covering the drain. Be careful not to drop the screw into the drain. Remove the screen from the drain. Now unscrew the two screws holding in the stopper level….the one that opens and...

This never-ending project continues…….handling excess condensation. Since I’m going to build a new stand, I used one of the grates in the current JBJ stand to vent the canopy. I cut into the upper back panel and applied a small amount of silicone. I’m going to try this passive approach...

Ryan, if you're up to it, see if you can get 10 to 12 members who want to get in on making a full batch. I will tell you your house will smell like a fish market.

Dan The Man was the last to do a group mixing of DIY food…..and it was Eric Borneman’s recipe (maybe with slight modification.)

Happy St. Valentine’s fellow reefers! :love_heart: During this past snow storm, my neighbor returning home in his work truck backed his truck into his driveway. My wife heard the beep-beep-beep of his back-up warning, looked out the window, and then announced that Marco (my neighbor)...

I resurrected this post because I must respectfully disagree with the K1 being identical to the nano (425). The nano is flat faced while the K1 has an ovoid face. I actually pulled my Koralia Nano 425 out and here is what the impeller and shaft look like. Note the shaft is about as long as...

Wow! This is neat. I can take my crappy looking photos and make them look fantastic. (I wonder if it works on pictures of my wife? :o) I actually have been cursing out the new photobucket, being an old fart and not liking change. I still don’t like that the new cropping features don’t...

When I had the JBJ hood on there, I was still putting in maybe a cup a day. Realize I'm a lazy SOB and want a "set-it-and-forget-it" kind of tank.

This really is turning into a never-ending project. The condensation is so bad (and by the way, the standard JBJ hood condensed like crazy as well), that water is dripping off the bottom of the doors. Now I closed this up to minimize evaporation, but now I’m going to have to open it up some...

That one you linked looks awfully small. Might work OK for a nano. HERE’s a link to Paul B’s DIY scrubber.

I'd be curious about the price. A company I worked for made a slip coating for the bottom of boats. Cost us a few dollars to make and we sold it for $160/gallon.

I recharge DI......it's pretty easy to do if you're interested. Look HERE. I believe you're in the Somerville area???

You want to mix salt overnight (OR for shorter periods with very high agitation) for three reasons: 1.) Completely dissolve the salt and other goodies in there. 2.) Stabilize pH. 3.) Aerate the water with oxygen. My guess is that your pH was high (typical with some salts when first mixed...

Welcome back Paul. Dance Looking good. Get some water, a heater and the MP in there to get that rock curing. Don't need the sump for that.

George’s post above reminded me about this little experiment. About a week ago I finally got around to cooking these blades. They received a light coat of Canola oil and then suspended in a 425 degree oven for one hour. After cooling, I went to wipe off any excess oil, and they were...

I went to ThomasNet.com and typed in “Waste Oil,” Southern New Jersey, and got 21 hits. I know a bunch of these are probably no good, but some might pan out. HERE’s the link, if it will work. Otherwise go to the above site and type in “Waste Oil.”

Pictures! Woo Hoo! I like your worms….. (now there’s a line you don’t hear frequently)

That new house will look fantastic with a beautiful reef tank and a couple folding beach chairs.
