I have been keeping one or two of the 24G next to my tank for top-off water for at least ten years - filled to within 1" of the top (ok - on occasion filled well over the top). They do bow when filled, but other than that no issues. I originally kept two in a special - built credenza that was...

I had Gen build my approx.120G tank maybe 10 years ago. No issues; tank has held up well. He is quite the craftsman - I recall him insisting he flame finish the edges of the top hatches in my front yard, even though I told him they would never be used under my MH lights. I kept those hatches...

Still looking? I have a piece you can have. DM me. I want y'all to consider, and admire, the self-restraint that went into composing this response in a family-friendly way.

The problem with this replacement is that it is just that- an OEM replacement. Looks exactly like you would find in an original EB832. And they fail. Note the branding on the capacitors. Sayeth Fixreef: "Zhuohao are not just low quality, they are the bottom of the bottom of the barrel...

Have one in Daly City. Yours if you want to make the drive.

Marketing genius? IO specifically designed the bags to provide 1.026 in a reasonably full 44G Brute?

So I guess I'm the only guy that takes them into the shower with me and lets my outlaw high - pressure shower head do the work. Eccentricity is but one of the great privileges of old age.

JVU raises a good point. I noted when I first assembled the LifeGard its a bit trickier than what I had observed watching the Pentair BRS videos .. If I remember correctly, it took me two attempts to fit all the bits together correctly, and I can assemble a Jaguar V12 blindfolded. I'll let you...

+1 on the Lifegard 55. I bought mine from a pond supply company, If I recall, it was about 60% of what BRS was asking for the similar Pentair. Excellent build quality.

15 - 20 years ago, never a QT with no issues. Never heard of anyone else having problems. Perhaps it was an issue never mentioned in polite company. With a few exceptions, all my livestock was adopted off Craigslist. When I got back in the hobby last year, I read nothing but horror stories of...

Assuming you have a gas furnace supporting your living area, how about running a vent into the garage? Nat Gas is cheap, and you are burning it anyway to heat the house.

I have a couple in Daly City. I'll hopefully be away from computer most of the day, so call @ 4153856087.

As a heads - up, Yosemite National Park had different rules than CalTrans. You had to have chains in the car during winter conditions regardless of what kind of car or rubber you were riding. The rangers would ask to see them, and I had friends in 4WD's with M+S who were ejected for not having...

PM'd re the shrooms and nem.

Since you have enviable pressure coming into the house, I'll revisit the faucet issue. If your house was built after 1995, or if the faucet was replaced after that date, you have a flow restrictor built into the fixture. The stated mandated max GPM keeps decreasing; California has the slowest...
