“I love the smell of fresh concrete in the morning.” Is that that famous quote or am I barking up the wrong tree? Mike looks good…one question…it looks like you “painted” your way around the stairs. How did you get out of the basement after you were done?

This thread was rightfully moved to “Retail Experience,” which is “members only.” Since he does not have access, Michael, at NYAquatic, has asked me to post this for him: I would like to take this opportunity to clarify a couple of points with my now-famous disagreement with Ryan. To me, there...

FYI, I talked to Will at Aquatic Obsessions and they will be suppling the corals for this month’s meeting…I’ll be bringing them up. If you haven’t signed up to attend…do it NOW!

It’s not a matter of one being better then the other.  Here you wanted to get as close to the bulkhead as possible.  If you were to do this threaded, you would have to use a nipple (a short piece of pipe with threads on either end.  You would a short section of pipe between the bulkhead and...

Dave, after responding and then walking back to throw the valve and bulkhead back into the parts bucket, I was playing with the valve and turning it back a forth. One concern I have is that it takes a fair amount of torque to turn that valve. If you are mounting this in a Rubbermaid Roughneck...

If you are attempting to get the valve as close to the bucket as possible, here’s how I suggest you do it: First off, I’d use glue-up bulkheads and valves (versus threaded ones). Install the bulkhead with the threaded part facing into the bucket. Make sure the gasket is on the outside of the...

Mike, I apologize if you are already in the know…I just don’t know of your knowledge of concrete.  A common mistake of novices is making the concrete too watery.  You don’t want to do this…it weakens the concrete.  Add water slowly and go for a stiff mix.  The concrete will still look...

I hope you’re not mixing that concrete by hand (that is, in a wheelbarrow with a hoe).  Your arms will be dead by the time you get to bag 7 or 8.  Go to your local rental place (or Home Depot…they rent as well) and rent the small barrel mixer (Electric..holds a bag of readimix).  Bring it right...

You're an attorney...tell me something I don't know!

Bill, I'm sending you a PM...any time after 3:30 tomorrow or any time the rest of the week.

Eric, I be at the meeting so I'll bring it along with me. See you then. Note, I have a bunch if anyone else would like some.

Harvested the upper 40 today and have a wad of cheato. If you need some, let me know.

Always do it by hand. I don't need any more tools!

Thanks for the link. I wouldn’t call it curing though. This guy is cleaning off any surface contaminants (which could be plastisizers, mold release agents, etc.) while also oxidizing the surface of the plastic. This guy would have been better off asking if you WASHED your plastic buckets before...

IC Gel from the group buy...the best!

I’m sorry…..do I know you? Hey, enjoy those kids…before you know it, they’re giving you crap, and asking for money.

What????  As a chemist, I need to ask one thing...cure what???? I apologize for the abrupt response, but unless the chemistry of plastics has changed in the past couple of years, it’s just a long chain organic compound that, once formed, has reached its final structure. It’s not like, as an...

Won’t work…….That happened when she said “I do.” Does that make you a dealer?? Sounds normal to me! The rent will be there next month, but the skimmer is needed now.

OK, it went through a few iterations, but the final fixture is option 1, all in a row, with the addition of 2 IceCap LED moonlights, for a total of eight bulbs. Here’s a picture with the 430 ballast bulbs not installed (bulb 2 and 5). And here it is on the tank…the timer on the left of the...
