I agree with Jason. Unless you are using thick, big “L” channel aluminum, it will flex with the glass. That is, you will need, at a minimum, a center brace. As far a tempered glass, HERE is a simple way to determine tempered glass. I used a netbook with a pair of polarized...

With the water change tonight, cleaned out the skimmer section of the sump. I guess I’ll have to add this clean-up to the schedule.

Nick, sorry to see this….but I can understand. :( Folks, this is top shelf….and a fantastic deal! Please, someone jump on this.

Wow! This is a head-scratcher for me. My new sump is coming up on its one year anniversary. So I’m doing a little house cleaning today. My skimmer sits up on a plexiglass shelf about six inches above the bottom of the tank. This area below the skimmer is quite dark and therefore I never...

I’d prefer having a tank ready to go. HERE is a free tank on craigslist or pick up a tank at Petco at a buck a gallon when they have their sale.

Ed, I’ll bring a really nice birthday cake…..with candles. Come on, this would be the best birthday party for a one year old! He’ll think all those people are there for him.

Olivier, let us known when you are ready to move the tank back in. I'll be by tomorrow morning for breakfast.....I love cold pizza. :grin:

Olivier, Thursday will work great for me. I actually have a soccer game up in Far Hills at 2:00PM…….should be finishing up around 4:00 – 4:30, so on the drive home I could easily stop in. I’ve never seen your tank. What kind of a move are we looking at…..stairs, tight corners, etc? If...

Your older Koralias were not meant to be turned on and off repeatedly. The other point is that you shouldn't be fooled by the term "wave." A stand-alone powerhead does not produce a wave. It will turn on and off and provide alternating flow, but no wave. I am not familiar with the JBJ's...

Put in the biggest tank that will fit below the stand and still allow you to get a skimmer in and out……a 40 long would be ideal….48 x 12 x 16.

Bob, say the word and I'll bring over my generator....I'll PM my number.

Bob, check your oil level. Most generators today have low oil shut-off.

Wow! I can understand why many are losing power tonight. I just went out to take out our recycleables and this is looking back up my driveway with cherry trees on the right and some evergreen on the left…..drooped over with heavy wet snow.

Dave, you make it sound like I know what I’m talking about! :grin: First let’s take a step back. Car batteries are DC….as are the batteries George has. My comment about connecting two 6 volt batteries together was to get to the same voltage you mentioned in your power source for the...

If you "daisy chain" them is a series circuit, volts are additive, so yes, you will have 12 volts. A series circuit of batteries is like two D size batteries in a column flashlight.....positive to negative ends. That is the positive pole of one battery is attached to the negative pole of the...

Phil, I got gas two days ago at the Hess station on Route 9 in Woodbridge....the Hess Corporate headquarters. I don't think I waited five minutes. And the best part, they weren't price gouging.....only 3.19/gallon.

Olivier, sorry to see this. I can help you move the tank to clean.....and also help to carry it back into the house when you are ready to set it back up.

Thanks Taz...again, I'm the lucky one. Here’s that original picture I posted of our boat ramp just before Sandy, showing the extremely high tide….you see those nice floating docks: And here’s what it looks like now…..ALL the floating docks are GONE! My guess is that the height of the...

Sorry for those who lost their tanks….or even worse. Certain areas of our town got hit pretty bad….many houses flooded and a couple lost….knocked off their foundation. I spent today helping friends in the flooded area. What gets me is that home owners isn’t covering anything and they now...

Lost power at 4:00....started the generator.....power came back on.....maybe off for three - four minutes. phew.
