Not as many as one would think. RC airplanes are worth about 10 cents on the dollar when sold. I was able to purchase a decent handgun to mount a defense in the event of a home invasion, and a hunting rifle or two. Nothing to brag about or show off and definitely not a large collection. I...

I used to fly RC planes. I sold them all in 2014. The hobby changed drastically with the advent of brushless electric motors and lipo batteries. Also, around 2005--2008 a new generation of "entitled brats" entered the hobby and turned it into a whiney snowflake fest. All my friends got out...

I'm not a diesel expert, but I know enough to be dangerous. That being said, FASS fuel filter is just that, a fuel filter. They come in various screen sizes. The FASS fuel/water separator is supposed to separate any water from the fuel so it doesn't go through the engine. It's like any...

I really cant justify the cost of an Apxx system for a 40g breeder. If you REALLY add up the total cost to make it do everything, you're into thousands of dollars just for the controller system. I wanted to get back into the hobby and was trying to embrace the new LED and DC technology on a...

I'm bulding a new 40g breeder. I only want LPS and zoas. Nothing requiring high light, such as SPS or clams. Will this work? It's 2 strips @ 36w each, so 72 watts total - don't know if that makes a difference when talking about LED's. I've never been able to figure out how to convert watts...

Thanks for the help. It's going to be .... hopefully... fully automated. I already have a DIY ATO that I saved from my past history in reefing. I want to get it set up with auto water changes as well. Even if it's just a push button actuator that I have to stand there and manually press it...

As the title says, I'm building a new 40g breeder tank and need help selecting equipment. I've been out of the hobby for several years and a lot has changed. DC pumps are interesting for sure. The tank will be a mixed reef with mainly LPS corals. I don't plan to have a very many fish, as I'm...

Sounds to me like you're moving kinda fast. From reading your post, it appears the tank is new - perhaps only a month or two old? I'm currently gathering equipment to build a 180g reef. I'll be sitting here looking at an empty tank cycling for probably a minimum 8--10 weeks before I even...

I'd transport live rock in a plastic tote(s). Put the tote in the back of a pickup. Remove live rock from tank and place in tote. Get a submersible pump and some vinyl tubing. Run the tubing to the tote and drop the pump in the 29g tank (or just use a 5g bucket) to transfer some water to the...

Welcome back! I'm starting over after a long break as well. Your tank looks great!!

Kroger - that explains it. Colorado has King Soopers - a Kroger company. They are AWESOME. There is also Safeway in Colorado. Higher prices, but better produce usually, and better sales. It depends on how you shop. My wife and I shop the perimeter, for the most part. Fresh produce, meat...

My wife and I were just talking about that. From the looks of it - the pump we have right now must be at least 10-15yrs old. It's definitely NOT a newer model, and isn't going to last forever. We could see a significant electrical savings with a newer model.

Thanks so much! I think I can catch a game this fall. A football game and a dog sounds like a good time. It doesn't feel like home yet, but we're adjusting slowly. There's a ton of good seafood, pizza and Greek food here. We love that! Entertainment is waaaaaay cheaper than Colorado...

The tank arrived early! :celebrate: Here's da first pic @saintsreturn 72x24x25 and the darn tailgate wouldn't close.... by like an INCH. :duh:

Thank you! Thanks!

I didn't upgrade to a larger tank. I'm getting back into the hobby after a break. :woohoo:

Hi!! I had to get rid of my reef tanks and frag tank during the recession. Life has changed an awful lot since then. Got divorced in 2014. Met a nice gal. Got re-married in 2017. I moved to Florida in April 2018 with my wife. She got a massive promotion (3 levels up the ladder in one...

Which model is it? Is there an outlet adjustment so you can adjust how much water comes out?

Place frozen milk jugs in the sump

I have the Filter Direct RD102 that was in your first link. I've had it for about 5yrs. Not a single problem with it. Works great. I did purchase the booster pump with the unit and I'm very happy I did. I think they work best at MINIMUM 60-65psi. Call Oscar at Filter Direct and ask him for...
