    Dan's 150 Rebuild

    I’m not sure how long those shrimp will last with the trigger. I have a blue throat, and use to have a very large coral banded. It use to be amusing watching the coral banded square off to the trigger. Those little claws would go way out, making him look big, as the trigger would come...

    Anyone here an electrician?

    George, I must say, I wasn’t thinking cooties with your above comment, but was thinking that you were going cookoo on this one. I had to re-read this thread three times before I finally saw the picture that I think you are referring to. I never actually looked at that picture for...

    HOB overflow vs Drilled

    I think what he’s talking about is using a rigid J tube as his return line, that would be hooked over the top lip of the tank. I see no problem with that, as long as you have a siphon break in there. I come up over the back of the tank as well, but I used rigid PVC with Loc-Line pieces on...

    Anyone here an electrician?

    Oops! You're right....You'll have to excuse my mental slip, it's been over 30 years since I did this kind of stuff. All that I know is that I recently went to buy a 100 foot of wire and had to sell my first born to afford it. Man, has the cost of wire gone through the roof! It use to be...

    John, if you have room in the box, go for a 20 amp / 14 gauge wire.

    PH dropping overnight

    Get rid of the pH probe....or don't look at it. This is taking the ostrich approach to things, but I feel folks focus too much attention on what otherwise is a normal pH swing, especially during the winter. As already said, this isn't bad...and 7.9 is just fine. You can try what Mike...

    I'm also looking at those bulkheads....why do you want new ones. I'd figure out my plumbing plan and cut that existing pipe to put in unions....and go from there.

    I'm currently using a MAG 9.5 for a 90 DT, but you could go a bit larger having the 150 DT. I'm also now considering a DC return pump with manifold for the near future.

    By my eye, it looks like a 1500 gph Glass-Holes overflow. Give me a minute and if I can get to the back of my tank, I'll measure the ones I have....I have that same overflow. EDIT TO ADD: As I’m pulling out the tube to measure, I’m thinking, you have the black elbow with the hole in...

    How do you change your water?

    George or Jim, with your RO/DI in the garage, don’t you have to worry about freezing, especially with the last few days we’ve had?

    HOB overflow vs Drilled

    Glass-Holes......the kit comes with the drill bit! Otherwise, I will make a prediction......"I see a flood in your future."
