    Free dry Rock and RODI 150GPD with new diaphrams

    Sounds good. Most of the rock is brand new from Reef Cleaners. A few pieces are the ones that I rebooted with and then dried them out again. Shouldn't leech. They weren't in the tank long enough.

    Free dry Rock and RODI 150GPD with new diaphrams

    I was going to bring this stuff with me, but i decided it wasn't worth the space in the move. I have: 50-70LB very good dry rock and some seachem pond media RODI 150GPD unit with brand new RO cartridges and carbon media I will not hold anything unless you are committing to it and leaving your...

    Freshwater Tank Waterfalls

    That looks like a fun project for sure. You could do all sorts of interesting things such as put this in the corner of your tank and then place ultra thin acrylic in front of it to reduce flow from interfering with the sand. I bet course aragonite would work well.

    That advice is generalized. It all depends on what you are building for. Plugging the EB8 direct into the wall will allow me to connect to my apex remotely when something dies and trips my gfci. Honestly I could care less what a career electrician advises to save a buck because he or she doesn't...

    I disagree. For me, I absolutely need some of my individual outlets on gfci and others, not. It all depends on what you are building for. My requirement is redundancy and fault tolerance. Sent from my LM-V350 using Tapatalk

    Just took a look on Amazon. Looks like you can get boxes for $5. I know i got mine much cheaper at the time from home depot.

    Got mine in a multi-pack . I think they were about $10 ea Amazon has a few 2 packss for $20 right now. I'm guessing how much the box cost, but I dont remember it breaking the bank.

    Yep. Exactly. I have several of them. I run 1 of them for a return and skimmer. I run the other on my backup return. I run yet another one on an entire EB8 in the garage for a bunch of random stuff. Each one cost about $12 to make. I just cut the ends off old computer cords for the pigtail.

    I plug my EB8 direct into my wall and run a home made GFCI pigtail on my "wet" ports. In fact, I run 2 GFCI pigtails off of a splitter on a single port of my EB8. This allows each return pump to trip an independent GFCI without killing all flow. Attached is a picture of my simple pigtails. All...

    Julius' CDA 150 Build

    As others said. And just to summarize. I put the gate valve on the smaller diameter pipe which i'm putting the siphon drain on. The larger (emergency) pipe is wide open. I also have a gate on that one in case i need to close off my water drain for maintenance, but i always run it wide open...

    Coral reefer’s 360 gal system. 225 display and frag tanks

    You may want to consider getting the barrel plug adapter for those and run them in the backup port. This allows them to run at very slow speeds when power goes out. I love the belkins as well. I have them on everything. Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk
