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 don’t have a pressure gauge, so I’m flying blind. Maybe my next RO/DI project, where I’m considering adding another membrane to reduce my waste water volume, I might add in a pressure gauge. I’ve been on this “green” kick this past year or so, even though the financial analysis would...
George and Ryan, here’s the story. I’ve always known that I’ve had low water pressure. We considered a lawn sprinkler system a number of years ago, and the guy said we only had thirty-something pounds of pressure, and would have to put in multiple zones for it all to work correctly.
So...
John, thanks for your generous offer. I do have a phone that does all that stuff and more. But realize I’m an old fart and only know where that little green button is where I say “Hello.” I believe your response, and the one from Taz, and the fact that I’ve now made ten gallons of good...
Sorry John....I can't figure out how to post a video.
Yea, it's not real loud. Reminds me of the piston action aerator I had on my freshwater tanks back in the 60's. I just wasn't expecting this thing to make noise.
I just finished installing a booster pump for my RO/DI unit. I’ve never seen these in action, so this is all new to me. When I run this thing it makes a putt-putt-putt noise and has a bit of vibration to it. Is this normal? Here’s a short video (turn your volume on). Unfortunately the...
Thanks Mike and Nikki. The new tank and fish room are fantastic. It also amazes me on the variety and amount of food and drink. Also thanks to Zippy (Pete) and Daniel (Daniel) for their generosity. Good stuff!
Boy I hear you Nikki. I’m Irish and it reminds me of Uncle Sheamus, who became a lot more stable when he “wet his whistle” as well. The alc seemed to calm him down and certainly made him appear to be more stable. Unfortunately Uncle Sheamus liked tipping the elbow a bit too much and...
Hold your britches.
I am reaching back into my little beanie-button, but what I remember is that the impeller fits with the cover of “A” and “B” MAGS. Can you check with Danner?
Bob, you might want to reconsider propane when you look at the consumption on generators. From Sandy, I heard some folks went through 6 – 7 hundred dollars of propane in a week of running their generators. I had gasoline and would guess that I used considerably less than 100 dollars in gas in...
How big is the DT and what size sump/refugium are you considering?
If the sump is between 10 – 75 gallons, I prefer glass tanks. They are easily and readily available at reasonable cost. As far as baffles, I personally prefer acrylic because I can cut and modify it very easily. However...
I’m sorry, for some reason this one slipped by me for a week.
My lights are about 12 ½ inches off the water. Realize I’m trying to light a five foot tank with two lights.
The best $300 I’ve spent. THIS little generator from Sam's was run 24/7 for seven-plus days during Sandy. I ran my entire tank, refrigerator, boiler, television, and a few lights. My only complaint is that it is a bit loud. Next time (if there is one), I’ll locate the generator further away...
Now the next question is whether it's a 9.5A or 9.5B model. It's my understanding that the impeller and cover are the differences between the A and B models.
