Haven't been checking tapatalk lately, but saw this thread and decided to play. Picked one up at lunch today (I think it's the same, and there were about two left and maybe a few sections to the right). Seems like this would be another nice BAR grow-out challenge :) Left is WD from Tim TFP...

The Ultra Reef reactor looks interesting too.

Tried Acropower for a few weeks, then started up my Calcium Reactor. I think my sps are more happy. Probably from reactor though.

He did list bearing information, but for the motor, and not the head. I guess it should be similar though. The pump heads probably vary in bearing type and size between models too I assume. Motor bearings from rc thread. - Front Bearing, 608 Double Sealed - Rear Bearing, R6 Double Sealed...

Looking to replace my bearings on my Masterflex pump head. Have no idea what to get, and have this shop near me: https://www.applied.com/categories/bearings/ball-bearings/c/84 Anyone know which I should get, or just any whatever is the exact same size as the old ones? Price ranges from cheap to...

I'm around 8.0 to 8.2. I only started tracking pH about a year ago for the heck of it since I had a port there on the apex. Never needed it the six years before that on the same system. However, now it's a safeguard for the newly added calcium reactor if it were to fail.

My tank is at my office, and the sump and equipment is in the storage room behind it, which isn't insulated and is adjacent to the concrete exterior wall. Not there in the middle of the night, so wanted to see how cold, or hot during the summer, it gets back there. I do have a nest thermostat...

Doh! Noticed I had a slight leak between solenoid and metering valve. Now I’m getting steady gauge readings when it’s flowing. I just set the metering valve to 3, and adjust the main regulator in 1/4 increments. I was trying to go by bubble count but it’s too fussy, especially since I have a...

Looking to keep tabs of my sump and equipment room temp. I read that the Neptune Temperature Sensor can be used for ambient temperature readings, but not optimal. Some people place it in a cup of water. I could put it in my RODI brute tank at the bottom. Wondering if someone has wired an...

I read somewhere anything under 7.4 ph will dissolve, albeit at a slower rate. But I was just testing the bubble rate and it settled at 7.07 overnight and it’s weak. Alk dropped from 8.1 to 7.8 overnight. Readjusted to 6 spb and ph is stabilizing around high 6.7’s right now. But need to wait...

Yup, I’ll shoot for that. I remember you told me 30 ml per minute effluent was good to start at. That’s what I’m trying now. 12 ml is pretty slow, but I’m sure it would work too if I just decreased bubble count.

Set my regulator psi to 6, bubble count to about bubble every 7 seconds. Masterflex 6 rpm. From 5 pm to 11 am, kept it around 6.5 ph and below but solenoid shut it off till back to 6.7 ph. My Alk went from 8.0 dkh to 8.1 dkh 18 hours. Usually dose 80 mL prior to starting CaRx. Lowered my psi...

On a separate note, I did just install some Solatubes since my living area and bathroom didn't have good natural lighting during the day. Now we don't have to turn on lights during the day anymore. It is expensive though, $1000 installed, but has 30% tax rebate. Also came with free solar night...

Finally got water flowing through calcium reactor and no leaks. Got a few questions before starting up the CO2. In particular, I've got a dual stage regulator going into a Avast Marine CA1 reactor with secondary effluent chamber reactor. Main chamber is Reborn and secondary is with ARM coarse...

I have an acclimation box, but I needed a second one for my frag tank, since I had to acclimate new fish to both display and frag tank at same time. Thought of using my spare gutter guard and zip ties. Also had spare acrylic to use as a top, but you could use a dinner plate since most people...

Bump... acrylic Tank and stand still up for grabs. Want to clear up the space.

Cheap ebay Blue led strips. About $60 each not bad. Bolts onto my ATI with the included bracket.

Any updates on Vibrant?

Howdy!
