    Bulk head cracked, dripping and a fix

    I think I have the worse luck with bulk heads as the first ones I install always seem to fail on me. Today, I noticed a small drip coming from my return bulk head. It has been running fine for the last month with no issue. But sure enough a hair line crack formed. I was very care on the...

    I switched to Tropic Marin getting brown residue

    Stand strength - just thinking

    I have to admit I took great pride and joy building my stand for my 45 cube, but as I continue to do research for my upgrade, I'm seeing more pictures of the Elos stands which are a fraction of the build that I have used to hold up my current tank. Elos is considered top notch, and I have read...

    Anyone know which gasoline stations are open in the Summit/Union Area? I waited 1 hour to get $30 worth this morning in at the Gulf on Main in Chatham. I'm down to 10 gallons and many are closed. I'm also going to retrofit my generator in the future for propane or natural gas. In reading...

    Has anyone tried the mod to replace the ball bearings on their mp's? One of mine has a hum which I would like to reduce. I'm past my 1 year warranty so I'm thinking about doing this. The only part I'm not sure of is pulling the ball bearing. Some say a bearing splitter is the safest bet, but...

    Ph Extremely Low - Windows are open, but next steps?

    Over the course of the past few days, my Ph, which has been pretty steady at 7.9 has dropped to 7.00. Thinking it maybe my probe out of calibration, I did calibrate it and still the same.
