Got another reply from Francois: - He will replace the panels that are damaged, but he needs them to be shipped from Italy (that's fine by me) - He wants the existing stand back so he can try to repaint it, but I'm pushing for him to just order one that's already white from italy, since we'd be...

I've tried many DC pumps in the past, Simplicity and Jebao as well, and nothing has been quieter than a VarioS pump. I've even used a pretty decent decibel meter to prove it. The VarioS pumps are nice, but they can't take much head pressure. My VarioS-2 would suffer pushing water through a...

They're very close together, I don't know if there's going to be clearance. I will be changing the plumbing to hard sched 40... hopefully that will help.

Ah sounds good, thanks!

Is there a reason why you wouldn't let the salt mix in the tank itself? I've done this and I do get some residue on the glass, but it's easy to clean off.

Hmm I like this. When you say Bob, is that a specific person?

I guess maybe the better question is, how do you guys initially fill a tank with RODI? I usually just stick the RODI in, and set a timer and I keep going back to check. Once it's full, I'll finally mix in the salt. This is for a brand new tank, nothing in it yet. Having the float valve on a...

The way my existing bracket works, it kind of mounts the flow valve vertically, so my valves I have that work, actually would be TOO tilted to work unfortunately. The bracket is just going over a 1/2" rimless glass, so really doesn't have to be too accommodating. The shallower the better, but...

I need flow sensors for my return that has a manifold for my UV to run in parallel. The UV is 3/4" and the return pipe into the tank is also 3/4". My return pump has an outlet of 1" I'm thinking the flow sensors would be right at the manifolds (after the ball valve going to the UV, but before...

Can you add dual drains to a ReefMat 1200? I know it has two "inlets," but there's two for convenience depending which side you want the drain to go into. Would it be possible to just buy another "hose connector" and attach that to a second drain? Also, my second drain is an emergency drain so...

These are the only two I've found so far, but I think I have the Eshopps one, and it doesn't work (though mine is old and might just be faulty). https://premiumaquatics.com/products/eshopps-float-valve.html https://premiumaquatics.com/products/icecap-magnetic-mount-float-valve.html#slide_14602...

I need a float valve that I can clip onto the side of my tank to fill from the RODI system. I have a bunch that require drilling a hole into the side of the thing that's being filled, but I just want something that can be held by a bracket instead. I used to have one, but the valve wouldn't...

Yeah, he mentioned there were rocks from the "DT" so I'm guessing this was definitely the "QT" Sorry to hear!! Bellus is my favorite fish too. I used to have one in my old system, hope to get one in the new one too.

Yeah, maybe I’ll just measure the actual length I need and goto the Ace hardware with the originals on hand.

Some of the bottom edges of the panels I thought were just dirty adhesive turns out to be really rough damage that’s weirdly yellowed. I tried to clean it off, but I’m thinking it’s actually just busted. Some of it definitely shows on the outside of the stand, especially because it’s yellow...

Awesome tip. Thanks!

Bad photo but I just found the inside of panels also with grime spots all along the sides. I wonder what caused it. I’ll just keep scrubbing

Yup I have a dremel with a cut wheel. I can set up something to clamp it while I cut (I have a skeleton set, at best, of tools right now). But I think Francois still owes me some stuff to send, so I’ll see if he has the actual screws and can just add it to the next package of things. If not I’m...

And this is the last spot on this piece. I had already spent 30 minutes getting it this clean lol.

I hate that my build thread is just complaining, but a brand new tank that I paid over $7K for is really killing me. Just spent a day cleaning the panels. They’re dirty and caked with dirt and grime. I’m thinking… I would do less work on a used tank. Did I really pay thousands for this...
