I used egg crate and zip ties for the stand for my biopellet reactor:

Yep, I'm talking about the engines as well.....check you instruction book for the type of oil....and follow it. Typically engines that do not have oil filters have to use non-detergent oils.

' Hold up Jim, I believe generators and things like compressors need to run with non-detergent oils. So make sure you read the instructions for your genarator.

Brandon, don't be concerned, there is a second donkey just for you. Look HERE.

He has a manifold.....just take one of the manifold lines, put a short hose on it, and run it back into the sump. Adjust the valve to reduce the flow to the DT.

Unbelievable! I love the DIY stuff and this metalwork is fantastic. Forget about the tank, I'm looking forward to the stand and metalwork being finished up. Great job.

I thought you were setting up a Herbie? Anyway, the siphon action going on with right side is likely from the little hole in the top being clogged of the height of the durso not set right. Check the hole, and if that is not it, raise or lower the durso to adjust the siphon action. EDIT TO...

You certainly can use two separate drains, but here's what I'm talking about:

Hopefully someone who has first-hand experience can comment, but running two one inch drains into a tee that remains 1 inch doesn't sound kosher. Will these durso style overflows still work properly? EDIT TO ADD: Upon a second look at the picture, I'm not sure I'd tee off the one return...

It doesn't happen overnight.....I think I'm still seeing changes. I probably could have sped up the process by removing cheato and hair algae, but I didn't . The cheato melted away pretty fast, and then maybe three months later the hair algae was pretty much gone. Where I really noticed...

I'm going to preface my response by first stating my opinion about tools and equipment. I buy the quality of the tool to the expected use. So when I know I'll use it frequently, or for a long time, I'll pay the extra to buy quality. When I know I'll use it rarely, if not just once, I'll...

I'm a biopellet user as well.....JNS Alpha 2 with BRS pellets....started June 2013.....and I'm happy. If you haven't purchased a reactor, and are interested in a JNS, check out MatteZ's sale, if he still has it.....it's a deal! If you get this reactor, I still have more of the cover...

I'm going to sound like a broken record.......I was wondering what had happened to you. Welcome back Brandon! We'll talk again in another six months. :grin::grin:

I have the JNS Alpha II Biopellet reactor and love it.....and at $80, that is a deal and a half. Someone needs to jump on this. GLWS

Here's what their site says: Store HoursMon – Sat 11:00 am – 8:00 pm Sun 11:00 am – 5:00 pm Just give them a call to verify hours: (201) 516-1000

Somehow "Consumer Input" malware found its way onto my computer. It gets me that these spyware programs can self-load without your permission. Anyway, I looked up how to remove this, and it was a nightmare of manually deleting files and registery items. I wasn't ready to do this. So I...

If they are "controllable," I'll have to let those folks who have done it with controls to answer that one. I have non-controllable LEDs.......and I also need to tell you I'm overly anal....so I build a Rube Goldberg where I started the lights all the way up at the ceiling. Every week I'd...

And I thought you were going to be the first club member to try Ken Nedimyer's hanging coral methods. He had found that hanging corals grew faster then ones that were mounted: This is the method he now uses in his coral nursery in FLA.

Pete, looking good. I like that appearance of the corals floating in the tank…..or, a still shot of them raining down. So how are you doing that…..with monofilament (ala Ken Nedimyer)? Are you giving Ken’s system of suspended corals for maximum growth a test run in your tank?

Welcome Elfrida Ross. You've found a great resource in learning about the hobby and asking questions, that I'm sure you will have. Since it appears that you are new to saltwater, I would not recommend going "big," with your first tank. Yes, water parameters are a touch more stable, but I...
