I recently had to upgrade my electric lines at home. My previous contractors electrician left one hell of a mess in a subpanel that controls half of my house. While I know how to change a socket or switch, I leave the heavy stuff like circuits and panels to licensed electricians. For those...

I was at the Costco business center today and noticed some 32 gallon husky trash bins for alot cheaper than what I just picked up a couple brutes for. They even get the wheels separately.

After today's 7.0 quake, I hope all is well with you and your families. After checking on you gas and waterlines, when you get around to your tank and find yourself in an emergent need for a pump, bin, rodi water, or temp holding tanks, please don't hesitate to reach out, as I have quite a bit...

Curious if anyone has had an Ecoflow, or any other back up battery, plugged into their EB832 as an emergency power source for equipment. In my case, I was thinking of having two gyres plugged into the ecoflow then have the ecoflow unit plugged into the EB832. In the event of a power outage...

Greetings yall! Back at it again and finally getting something setup to jump back in. I took a break for 10 years and jumped over to FW planted and plants for a while but couldn't find the same satisfaction I did with a reeftank. Started at this in 95 keeping a bubble coral and 2 aiptasia...

Anyone taking the leap on the new Osmolator from Tunze? The 3155 has always done right by me in the past, but new technology is always intriguing. looks like they done away with the float switch and have a thermal sensor built in with the optical.

Hey all.. I'm looking to relocate my RODI set up to my garage and use the washing machines feed asy source. When looking at the valve, it has a water hammer installed where I would tee it off. Does anyone have any experiences with doing the same? Are there any issues I should be weary of? Not...

So i've been eyeing the ReefBrite pendant for quite some time now and was ready to go down to aquatic collection and make the jump, until i started having second thoughts of DIY a fixture myself. Ive always been a fan of lumenarcs and feel a LM mini would fit my 50 cube perfectly, but it lacked...

Yep. Just heard the news when i got in to work today. Xanodyne pharma issued a recall on Darvon (darvocet) due to it causing abnormal heart rhythms. If anyone is currently taking this PLEASE contact your MD or Pharmacist to make arrangements for alternative treatments.

Summer FINALLY came...11 am and already 82 degrees inside the house here in Union City. Looks like i'll be running my AC on overtime today.

My brother in law makes functional movie props as a hobby and decided on making my younger sons halloween costume this year. He was going to do IronMan but went with WarMachine because, well...he looks cooler...haha..heres what hes got so far:

So I had to pick up another Sicce pump to replace a burnt out one i had on my BM-250. While shopping around for the best price i noticed that there's alot hype behind optional needle wheel impellers. I know they have fewer restart issues compared to the mesh, but is that the only advantage? I...

Im trying to plan out my piping for the new tank build and noticed i had a bunch of schedule 80 and misc. parts. One of those parts was a new 1.5'' true union swing check valve. The return piping will be 1''. If i use reducers to fit the 1.5'' check valve onto the 1'' piping will it have...

So im getting ready to break down my 180 and set up a 50 Gal cube. Disrupting the sandbed (about 2'' of medium to fine grains) is last on my list right after pulling out all livestock. My question is, how do i reuse the old established sandbed from the old tank? Should i rinse it out in some...
