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.
As I mentioned above, I cleaned my biopellet reactor for the first time, and boy, was it clogged up. I thought I had a bad pump, but it was just schmutz stuck in the small ports within the reactor. This thing is swirling better than when I first set it up. I have the pump totally closed...
You will hear folks stating you need 10X volume for your return pump. However, that's not necessarily true. With some systems, 10X would be very noisy....and potentially too much flow, especially if it's a small sump. You'd be just fine down to 5 times DT volume, or even less. Either...
Interesting thought @njtiger24 aquariums . I actually have shrink tubing that would fit around the threads. However, what's unknown (to me) is whether or not it would act like telfon once the tubing protector is threaded on. If that was the cause, I'd go for it. But for now I'm going to...
So I've been playing with my float switches over the past couple days. I take them off....they work....I put them back in, they crap out....I take them off, they work....I think you get it. Did this three times, but I think I've discovered the reason. The top of these switches can't get...
Just heard back from the eBay seller and he was willing to change to the PP15's. However, I've also read a bunch of reviews and what scares me are a fair number who are saying things like, "They died in 1 month...2 months...3 months." Seems like quite a few of these types of reviews. I'd...
Did you drill a hole in the elbow? If you didn't, you'll get repeating siphoning on and off.....and noisy.
Your other option is a Maggie Muffler.....and you can easily DIY them if you wish.....just google DIY maggie muffler.
Thanks Sunny. I purchased these off eBay and just sent the seller an email to see if he'd be willing to change the order to the PP15 models. He has them as well for an additional $20 per. Have to wait and hear from him.
Bit the Jebao Bullet
After seeing Herb's (@HerbieK ) tank today with, what someone counted....12 powerheads....I really questioned the mere two MP40's I have in my 90. In talking to @Sunny, he talked me into a Jebao WP25. Well, I doubled that, and just ordered two for under 100 clams...
Looks like the float switch on my ATO crapped out. Heading over to Herbie's for the Merry Fragging Christmas meeting, so the fix will have to wait. Luckily I have the backup float switch that saved me from a flood. It's always something!
Have you tried googling the fix? I've done this for screen replacements on both laptops and phones....dare kids! They are step by step so that idiots like me can get the job done.
