    True union ball valves

    Vaseline contains petroleum and should NOT be used in reef tanks. I will grab a tube of this stuff tonight ahead of replacements tomorrow. https://www.homedepot.com/p/DANCO-0-5-oz-Silicone-Faucet-Grease-88693/203193536 Thanks!

    True union ball valves

    Anyone have an experience with these leaking on new installs and have tips to fix? I bought 4 from supply house instead of the cheap home Depot ones. Glued them all in place tightened the crap out of them with a large wrench and they leaked at the threads. Tightened them further and they...

    Tank Moving

    Upgraded the fish circuits from 14 gauge to 12 gauge last night, with 3 dedicated outlets. Only for the temporary location as I get closer to finishing the basement, I will run two completely unique circuits. I am going home to pick up the entire water makeup system tonight. Let the fun begin.

    Tank Moving

    Thanks for the tips! I am very excited, going home Wednesday to get my water system set up and running! I really don't feel nervous about moving the tanks, I have gone through the process so many times in my head. I like your idea about plywood to offer support - I will take that into...

    Tank Moving

    My frag tank is bare bottom and it resulted in more issues than the sand. Granted the tank is mostly just frags, it's understocked bio wise. I just like the look of the sand.

    Tank Moving

    I'm transporting the tank with the sand in place, it shouldn't be disturbed at all really.

    Tank Moving

    Did you remove the sand? I don't plan on disturbing the sand really. Additionally, I turnover the sand every 3 weeks when I do my water changes.

    Tank Moving

    Howdy, It's time to move my tank (s) I want to get everyone's experiences and tips so I can complete this task with no headaches. I am moving the tank 30 miles, not a long trip, but a decent one. I am going home this week to grab the water makeup station so I can ensure I can successfully...

    Anyone lose power?

    Just got my permit and it comes in May, I don't see anyone around my neighborhood with one. I'll be installing it myself so saving a ton but I'm starting to feel like mmh I could have gotten a bigger tank if I didn't get this LOL

    WTB Water Storage Container

    Howdy, I am looking for a 30 / 40 gallon water storage container, can't fit 2 55 gallon drums, but I want a better mixing container than the current brute that I am using.

    Apex?

    I can't speak high enough of Apex. I have had a Jr. a classic and an EL now. I run 2 tanks and have two separate Apex systems. I don't think the full Apex is necessary as Amado mentioned the salinity probe is finicky plus you can addon the modules if you really wanted. I currently don't live...

    Anyone lose power?

    Luckily not even a blip. I am starting to feel like this 10kw Generac wasn't needed ;)

    Storm Watch

    There was a lot more snow out there than meets the eye. Took me a good while with a blower. Wish I had my tanks in this house so I could do a large maintenance day.
