Reviving an old thread. I am debating refurbishing some old mp10s I have. I need to replace one dry side for sure, another is kinda loud, and I need to replace a wetside. Dry sides cost almost as much as one of these jebaos. Anyone have a long term review? MP10 equivalent and MP40 equivalent...

Somewhat joking, but assuming they grow fast like normal zoas, the other option is put on gloves & goggles and crack the rock with a chisel and hammer. The rock should crack or shatter, and you then have a bunch of frags. Likely would damage some, but they're zoas and will grow back anyway.

Caveat that if you're doing acrylic glue-ups I believe you're not supposed to use a laser cutter. It doesn't give an appropriate edge unless you do post-processing. Might matter less for this sort of use-case though versus something holding water.

That is so large I don't even know what I'm looking at. (that's what she said)

Lol, thread race. That's almost exactly the one I bought and have sitting in my garage. Do you run it on a smart plug? My plan was run my booster pump and that valve off the same smart plug.

Valve -> first round of filter -> booster pump -> solenoid pressure sensor-> ... -> float valve in reservoir Something like that is my setup. I can't remember where exactly my solenoid is connected. I like to have the valve manual. I find I get a small trickle periodically without it. I also...

Pegboard is Ikea Skadis. I designed a pass through that's screws tight. I 3d print them and drill a 1.5in hole through the board, then install to route cables behind. I can just barely get full size plugs through that. 1.75in would probably be better, or ovalized. I installed the pegboard on...

Went out of town and inadvertently had let my ATO reservoir empty. Luckily I have RODI lines run so my neighbor just had to flip on a valve at the sink. Unfortunately took a long time to get her to the point she could do it. Partially because recently I'd created this giant mess...

I'd manually test the alk to double check. Very possible for the alkatronic to get a weird set of readings too.

Don't be me.

Cabinet looks great! If possible, consider moving the power strip and electronics onto the cabinet. The most likely water spill is over the edge of an aquarium and onto the stand. Once on that stand it then will waterfall off the edges. If the electronics are on the edges, they then get water...

If you're ok in a little overhead, especially if you have any original proofs of purchase, I've had a lot of good success with AI warranty support. I would almost guarantee if you sent them in they'd offer to let you swap for new ones for a fee. Then can sell em. Bit of a rigamarole, but nice...

Awhile back I bought some Quanta Pros from @CaseyP. Initially I was using them as lighting for my garage holding tank while I slowly moved things back into my main display. Now I'm finally putting them on their actual target home, which is my frag tank. On that tank I have a RMS Rail, and while...

For the skimmer line, go on AliExpress and look up silicone tubing. Ideally use a caliper to measure your current one, but a ruler should get you close enough. Err on the side of the outer number being slightly thicker and the inner number slightly smaller than you think if you can't guess the...

I was hardcore team rimless. I now would love to join team eurobrace for all the same reasons.

I have mine dumping directly into the sump, with a power head that turns on for a bit after that dumping to help with mixing. No tube. Don't use the pump that came with it. I therefore never clean anything. Well, except for the one time I had water spray everywhere in my sump and into the Avast...

Wait, your plank has different openings? I thought all the planks are just augers that dump out whatever. I did buy mine second hand though. Are you referring to the mixing pump level or is there actually some sort of setting I'm unaware of?

I couldn't even consider stealing that amount of joy from you! I'll drop mine off tonight! ;)

Those guinea pigs look too happy for you to get rid of them. I think a better idea would be to get two more! I will, mournfully, PIF two guinea pigs from my house to you! :)
