Really thin shim. Does the stand sit level when the wobble is gone? I'm not convinced it is possible to protect a HW floor for any length of time. If you can get more of the floor you have, stockpile some for eventual replacement. Other than that, just consider replace/refinish a cost like...

Will the tank interfere with access to that panel? Love your optimistic timeline. It's going to be a lovely tank!!

Arnold, thanks for setting this up again! Tank tours are so much fun. John / aqua-nut / viewing / cookies / anytime

Welcome Colin. I'm also VP of WCR, your really local reef club! :) I encourage you to become a member of both clubs. Great people in both. And thanks to @Enderturtle for the WCR mention.

I used it on my 120. Worked as advertised.

Impressive plumbing! Lots to fit in a small space.

Salt creep is just another way of saying leak! :) No problem with the threaded fittings. Since we are essentially doing no pressure plumbing, this is not hard. I do about three wraps of t tape, finger tighten then no more that two turns with a wrench. A great video of the process: I...

That doesn't sound right. I used the threaded connectors but mine came with both. I just checked and my slip connectors are very tight around the pipe. I can't fully seat the pipe in the fitting unless i force it or glue it. Does your pipe bottom out in the slip connection? Maybe you have some...

I'd still give the shims a try.

Thanks

I also have a JBJ ATO and it does time out occasionally. Any chance you have a link to the CB tweak?

Have you seen: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2266751&highlight=stand+and+canopy+done+right There's also the thread: http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1355576 There might be something worthwhile in there. It's only 90 pages long! :)

I've found small quantities at 'Pet Club'. Do you have a PC near you? The rest of the store is like a not cute Petco. Serviceable but not my first or second choice for a LFS.

Good. It was only a typo! You could also use some of the 2part to raise Alk. BRS has a calculator on their site.

I don't think I'd trust granite as a structural part of the stand. If anything the stand will have to be stronger to support the heavy granite top.

That looks fantastic! Well the first pic - the second looks a lot like my Apex. :eek: Is the tank between stand and cabinet the ATO res?

Sorry, I don't have one you could use but I do have a bit of advise! After cleaning, I sometimes get error messages. They go away if I cycle power on the controller. You might try that.

What Vincent said! Having the ATO know that the tank was over filling wouldn't really help since the return pump is the item needing to be shut down.

I have an EB8 and a EB4 just to have enough low wattage outlets. All my stuff is under the tank with the sump. Since I'm the only one messing with that area, if I wet it, it's my own fault. So Mola, you have some wires going from stand across the gap to the lower cab? I'd put some protection on...

Interesting discussion. Does anyone know if SF is purchasing water from other sources during the drought? If they do it might change the mix enough to be an issue.
