The locline in my experience is pretty hard to print right. You really need to have on hand some of the original size pieces to test fit against, because the fit has to be perfect. Also the filament is more brittle and therefore less forgiving when handled roughly, such as when you're trying to...

Also as an added option, let's say I setup a really big reservoir at my house, for now define that as 30 gallons. I don't want to dose from a mega long line to my frag tank, since my worry would be it'd not be precise nor accurate over the 30ft of tubing I'd probably need. If I kept a second...

@JVU : the mixing with a paddle by hand is what I'm seeing if I can avoid. That's equivalent to me by hand carrying jugs and dumping from high up to mix it, but less water carrying (just stir). @Srt4eric : maybe the middle ground on what you and @JVU are saying is I figure out how to setup a...

Since everyone knows Kalk is the best dosing solution in both that short term and long term :), I continue using it very successfully in my frag tank. I'm debating setting up my display with Kalk too, especially now that I have lines running through my wall externally and can put a big reservoir...

My understanding was the main difference between the brutes and other kinds was the plastic type. My recollection being the Brutes were food safe, and are used by commercial kitchens for mixing. Edit: looks like these are USDA approved; not sure if that means the same thing...

It'll be LVP most likely. Tank upgrade honestly is something I have considered in this. It'd be silly, but also if I was going to go it, now is the time. Have flooring ripped out. While flooring is ripped out have subfloor ripped up and extra support installed in the crawlspace. Run an...

We might get some flooring redone in the area my display is. Any suggestions on how to handle this? I'm guessing I'll have to handle it as a tank move. Get big troughs. Transfer everything. Pull all sand out. Move tank. Move stand. Flooring install. Move back. I'd really prefer not to do all...

Worth doing an optional pre-reg process for these ultras? My assumption being the natural progression is: Casual --bad actor ruins things--> Manual last moment process --backup in processing--> pre-reg So maybe an opportunity to short circuit...

SG. 100% your call. Be careful using sizable water changes to manage things like Alk. For basic corals and stuff no big deal, but that strategy is effectively saying "I'm going to let my alk drop every day, and then once a week I'll spike it way back up all at once". Completely feasible to do...

I have no skin in this game, though Michael did buy it off me, but I feel this might be getting overcomplicated. It'll be a new tank, hopefully sitting through a bit of a cycle and then getting really basic starter corals and some livestock. Even if it mixes up at 14dkh @ 35ppt it'd be fine. If...

For feeding the copperband while your were gone did you just have the avast going? What food?

Nitpick: having a GFCI doesn't mean there are grounding wires, nor that the outlet is even grounded. You can install a GFCI outlet anywhere. The proper thing to do if ungrounded is install the GFCI and label it as not grounded. Having GFCI without grounding is safer than nothing, in that the...

Definitely the way to go. Old houses are the ideal place for electricians. Though unfortunately they're also a cash cow for electricians. Good to take free expert advice.

It's possible, but it's probably unlikely that you've got a bunch of outlets (or every outlet in a place) that someone installed modern wiring in, but installed old 2-prong outlets. Usually poking around at things is fine and an interesting learning experience, but with electrical it can be...

Actually, I think these are bigger than I really would be able to fit. I'm still interested on if you use them for saltwater mixing, how you handle it.

I'm interested, but I'm not clear how I'd use these for saltwater mixing. Do you? My plan would be put them on the side of my house. One for RO. One for salt. One I would try and run my gutter downspout to so that it stops draining against my house.... I just yesterday crawled into my crawl...

Actually your question made me remember other stuff. Again, not an electrician. I think there's some variation where you're allowed to swap a 2-prong outlet for a 3-prong, as long as the new outlet is GFCI (turns off if it detects electric going though something it shouldn't, like you) and you...

Also regarding 2-prong versus 3-prong, there isn't any normal difference between the two. On a 3-prong, just like a 2-prong, all electric flows through the 2 slots. The round, 3rd, hole is the ground. That should normally never have any electric flowing through it. It's there in case something...

I don't think this is diy if you're asking here if it is :) possible. I'd think first time electrical diy is more like outlet/switch replacements or wiring a garage/shed. I would get a clear expectation from the landlord on their expectations around permits and such. Worst case pricing scenario...

Serious question, let's say it is the storm drains, why would it matter? Not saying it doesn't, just looking to understand. Regarding the other message about what this is generally attached to, it's a French drain system. Gutters and some drains connect to a sump, whose pump, pumps out...
