My reef slightly overflowed yesterday. I knew because I put in my magnet glass cleaner and water overflowed down the front glass. I quickly removed 5 gallons of water. I tested the salinity and it was so low that I could keep bullfrogs or Duck Billed Platypuses. It was my fault because I...

Diana I know you read much of this nonsense I post so you may like this...Maybe not. This was from a few years ago and is about gender stores, one for men and one for Women. It is a true story....Sort of. :cool: We really need gender specific stores. because Men, like me have no patience. How...

Malachite Green was for the next day. My wife uses it for permanent eye shadow. :oops: I went to the pain Mgt Doctor yesterday and she got me up on the table. There were two other people in there, one was the guy who aimed the Death Ray, I mean X Ray thing and the other "female" I wasn't...

I have mixed feelings. I actually think it makes the pain worse but that may be because I cranked it up all the way while I had my feet in my tank. Good thing my electric eel went dead. :confused2:

Good Morning. Going to the pain management Doctor today to see if she can get me to walk upright like a normal person. :giggle: After my spine ablation a few weeks ago my sacroiliac joint in my lower back got jealous and froze up and doesn't want me to move. That is a big crack in your pelvis...

I received all the parts to build the small diatom filter. This one will be rather expensive because the "frame, supports and base" will be 1/2" acrylic sheet. One square foot of the stuff is about $25.00 and each filter uses one square foot. This one is just for me to experiment but if I...

Thank you Diana, I hope you and your family had an excellent Christmas. :) :D

I am building a smaller one that doesn't use powder. I should get the rest of the parts today but it will have to wait until after Christmas. Christmas is also my birthday and my Grand Son is a couple of days later. :)

Just now I see I have a dead fish stuck to a powerhead. I almost never see a dead fish. It was a file fish I have for a couple of years. I noticed yesterday that he was very fat. I didn't think he was pregnant because I never had a pregnant filefish although it isn't that odd to have one...

A manifold t do exactly what? Remember it is only for occasional use and you don't want to run one of these continuously. They would clog anyway.

A diatom filter will not strip any nutrients, it only removes particles, nothing dissolved.

It seems I am going for another back procedure so I can stop walking like a blue lagged hermit crab. They are going to knock me out again to make a few small holes in my to inject my sacroiliac joint on both sides. I am not sure why they have to knock me out for this but I think it's...

I just ordered parts for a half size diatom filter but this one has a one micron cartridge and it doesn't work with powder. It should work perfect for people concerned about parasites (I am not). I can't find a one micron pleated cartridge to use with powder. I want to see how this one works and...

I am building another one half the size just for fun and it will run with the 0ne micron filter cartridge. I am curious to see how well it works. :)

What he said......I would imagine. But that housing is $55.00 for just the housing. The housing I used is only $23.00

OK the thing is finished This is the base of the pump and the 4" PVC Pipe end cap screwed to the plastic board. These plastic boards are from Home Depot and it's 1 X 6 used for outdoor moldings. I tapped the end cap for 1/4" X 20 screws to keep the filter housing in sturdy. If you can't do...

I may build another one of these diatom filters but half the size that uses one micron filter element with no powder. The smaller pump is almost the same price and pumps 250GPH instead of 500GPH. I already have the half size filter housing and am looking for something to build but it will...

I don't remember either. Maybe I bought the thing, I don't remember. :confused:

I know, that picture was my last house and I don't know why I had so many. I know the two smaller ones were part of my electrician tools and one or two look like antiques. The rest are anybody's guess. Here in my workshop now I have 3 of them. :)
