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...

I was thinking maybe it sticks out, but has enough clearance. Nope.

Francois also sent me new screws that are supposed to not stick out. But they still stick out a lot and won’t work. You can also see an example of how bad the paint is. Sure this is the inside, but it’s like this throughout.

I guess the width is right, but that’s it. He said next step is to send him the covers back and he would make a new one that matches perfectly. Still no details on the overflow/drain specs.

Francois did send me a new overflow cover since the one that came with the tank was really damaged on one end. Hilariously this is the new cover. The hole isn’t even close and the length of this is much shorter. I guess ELOS is just having distributors cut the overflow covers? It’s so weird.

Thanks again for your thoughts. It's always good to see all the different perspectives. It varies quite a bit, so it's nice to hear what others think of similar situations.

Your point of view is valid for sure. Earlier I did question if I'm being too picky about it as well. The paint options are interesting, because Francois didn't have a white stand on hand from ELOS directly, so instead of ordering one he wanted to sell me the gray stand, but I elected to go...

I've been buying salt in boxes for awhile (cheaper per gallon) and actually bought buckets from Home Depot =(

I did pay via credit card. Though he did respond to me, just didn't tell me anything about the Quiet Drain and I'm sure he's trying to get out of this mistake as best he can for himself. He's definitely not doing everything to try to make it right, but trying to test to see what is the least he...
