    Marks...Back to the Future..Reef Aquarium

    Just ordered the Reliance panel for backup power. I found some L14-30 power chords on Ebay. Is 40 ft too long to run power from a generator to the panel? I have a choice between a 25ft and 40ft, just concerned the longer one might be too long for running power.

    Plumbing...you knew it was coming...

    The Herbie (silent) flow method relies on a full siphon (totally under water) that needs a gate valve to adjust the flow. It's designed with a dry emergency drain as a backup to prevent any overflow situations. Its extremely safe. The return pump will have a ball valve for adjustment back to...

    Plumbing...you knew it was coming...

    I'm working on the plumbing design and parts list for my DT down to my basement sump. I have some questions, I plan on going Herbie with full siphon and dry emergency. The central overflow came with two 1 inch bulkheads and two 1/2 return bulkheads. In-regard to the drains is there any...

    Flow to a GFO/Carbon reactor?

    I was thinking of how I was going to setup my GFO reactor in regard to flow. I most likely will get the BRS setup. In regard to flow, can it be feed from the return pump? Or even the gravity drain. My return pump should have more than enough flow to handle it. I asked the guys at BRS and they...
