This is what Ecotech uses for Versas and Vortechs. A tube is expensive, but will last you a long, long time. You can start with just lubricating the rollers, but if that doesn't work, then you can consider taking it apart. https://a.co/d/0yq7dW3

I shared a video I made a couple years back that shows exactly this as well as Hanna's video. I like to crease the package before pouring as it seems to me to help control the powder better as you pour it into the cuvette. Obviously, I'm careless with the PPE. Don't follow my example on that...

Gawd really? That what this discussion is going to amount to? My blah blah is bigger than your blah blah. No thanks. Edit: and the sad part is, this kind of post from you kind of proves what irked people about the intial thread and list of rules.

@Turkeysammich How long do you think a BigR Walt Disney has been around?

Walt disney frags do not cost $400.

Alive for who? If the criteria is so selective that it only involves a few people and frags to be given out has no where else to go, what's the real point of having this a DBTC for BAR?

And then your DBTC will die there. So what's the point? It's definitely not with the motto of the club.

Look, I'm happy to see people share corals through DBTC and appreciate people going out of their way to do so, but when rules are so strict that something like 2 people are going to be able to be "approved," what really is the point?

You'll have drama if you make drama. Ever wonder why it's always the same people that get caught up in shit like this? If that was the feeling that was portrayed by the DBTC rules stated, I don't think there would be an issue @Coral reefer. If that was the intention, it most certainly did not...

Been a while since the last update. The CC 21 tails has been doing good and chugging along. It's up to 5-6 heads, but all the flesh bands are still connected together. Once they separate, hopefully soon, I'll get some frags out. I still got the barber shop spirals going on. The Barber Shop...

I gotta be blunt. I get it, it's your DBTC frag and your rules, but with rules this strict, you're probably better off finding a select few reef keeping buddies that meet your strict requirements to bank your corals and swap amongst yourselves. I don't know you, I sometimes add some flavor to...

That's a buttload of frags! You're going to have to frag every other day soon to prevent them from attacking each other. ;)

Not ideal, but you can either crop the image a little bit to decrease the file size or change the settings to capture in 12MP vs 24MP.

Where was the silicon used? Silicon's ability to resist ozone really depends on the environment. Ozone typically will not have an affect on silicon in water or when in low concentrations in air. But if exposed directly to high concentrations of ozone or ozone with really dry air, it will break...

Appropriately sized UV sterilizer. Black out for 3-5 days (including fuge). If nitrates and phosphates are zero, bring them up to something reasonable can help. Blackout isn't always necessary, but it can definitely speed things up.

Did it look they were rotating/rolling over on an axis? If so, it's ostreopsis.

Perhaps KZ have created their GAC in a special manner that they recommend hot water flushing before use. However, that's the first I've ever seen any company recommend flushing GAC in hot water before use. If you do something to the media that you're not supposed to do and get unintended...

Is there a reason you're rinsing with hot water? Any source material that says you should be doing this? GAC is really only for use with cold and room temp water. As far as I understand, hot water can degrade and decrease its effectiveness...

Your gasket already looks like it's may have an imperfection in it. It's too hard to tell from the angle of the pic, but if the chip doesn't go too far past that first raised ring in the gasket, it's probably not your problem. After you hand tighten, are you using a channel lock wrench or...

Also, since the tank is away from the wall, if you just use the gasket that came with the bulkhead and not use that gasket sheet, you should be able to see if the drip is coming from the tank or the overflow box if you fill the tank up to the bulkhead with water again.
