Oh, so it doesn't go all the through into the inner portion of the box? Mine can have a 1" pipe slide all the way through.
I can't for the life of me figure out a way to go from this 1 1/4 threaded bulkhead to a 1" non-threaded 1" pipe. Any help? see picture below...
Hmm...I'll have to toy around with it.
That pesky water finds a way lol. I was contemplating doing what you did until I asked a plumber if it would leak. His response (in a "duh" tone),...
Gluing any soft coral is pretty much a waste of time, it will release itself after a few days.
Jeff, I think it's leaking from the overflow. The pipe (1"?) is going straight through the bulkhead, right? I think it's leaking down the side of...
Interesting. How would you compare its effectiveness compared to GFO or the like? Do the corals benefit from the bacteria (i.e. food).
No worries, I would like to hear more about these bio pellets. Not entirely sure how they work.
Could be iron (?) or perhaps your nitrates are high?
Thanks. So something in the 100 gph area?
Yeah, I've seen a few people post that they think the GFO has provided an iron source for algae. I don't know how accurate that observation is,...
What are the downsides to bio pellets?
I've always been told, "the customer is always right". However, I would have certainly suggested that those fish, in experience, will not cooperate...
It seems as if GFO is being used less and less in this hobby due to algal issues from the iron. What are people using now for nitrate/phosphate...
What size pump is necessary for the reactor to function properly? There would be 1-1.5 feet of head loss.
I have one concern. I have the overflow line going down below where the water level will be to reduce noise and splashing. will that cause an issue?...
I sure have. I decided to hard plumb it since I had everything I needed to hard plumb it down in the barn. I plan on gravity feeding the float from a...
Stand stained and sump in it's hole.
I tested the gravity driven float and it works like a charm. I will put a ball valve on the return so I can dial it down. I do not have a pump yet, I...
Great work. Looks good.
