Ah, it was worth a shot... Sorry it didn't work outI actually have one of his magnets. It did not do the job. I reached out to a magnet company. He explained that because there is a magnet on both sides, they need to be an equal match.

maybe it will.... staying optimistic....Ah, it was worth a shot... Sorry it didn't work out
progress!Excruciatingly painful and subsequently slow. Lots of working under the stand which is murder on the neck - at least for me. Some progress was made. I found the least of all evile for the Kasa strips. Not my first choice but the cords are so short! UGH. I mounted the ATO . For whatever reason the holes for the dosing tubes in the Trigger Sapphire were too small to accommodate either the ATO tubing or the dosing tubing. That was nerve wracking drilling a new sump.
I moved both of the Sicce SDC XStream wavemakers from the 90 gallon to the new build. All of the ATO pumps and the SDC were given a good vinegar cleaning.
Tomorrow I need to go get more 1/4" tubing to finish the ATO / AWC. I hope to move the RODI from the bathroom to the stand. I think once that is done, I'll be able to route the line for the AWC into the drain. If I can that accomplished, the stand can be leveled and filled.
For now ... I'm getting an ice pack and some meds.
Thanks for checking in on me. Tomorrow is another day.
Glad to hear it!I got 6 straight hours last night! I think I am figuring out that if I take each of the meds individually and space them out by about an hour, they won't cancel each other out.... or maybe I was just that tired. Off to do my actual job!!! Hope you all have a good day!!!
I got nuthin'.Just got back from a client appointment and got my first X-ray knocked out. Came home to find 12 boxes from my company sitting in my driveway (thank God for my husband and his hand truck). Also have my cable clips to finish running my RODI hose. Looking like I'll have a productive night.
Bummer though, I had bought two BRS 1.1 ml dosers used on the Marketplace but I had only installed the ALK on the 90. I just tested the other one last night and the previous owner never ran clean water through it when he was done. The nozzles and tube are just compacted with calcium and it won't clean out.
So, now I have two choices, go buy the part from BRS or take it as a sign that maybe I should drop $200 or so on a 3-4 nozzle wifi doser, so I can expand to dosing trace elements and maybe phyto at a later date. I saw Coralbox has one on Reefbuilders $180 new - shipped. I watched a video that said it can mount vertically or horizontally. I've been doing BRS two part up to now but I'm actually adding corals beyond softies now, so the BRS 2 part + balling may be worth considering. I can always buy the part, too, and then resell the pair to another new reefer - pay it forward.
Thoughts??
My tank eats ALK like my dog steals cookies. Lately, the Calcium went off of the rails, too. Probably has a little to do with the higher levels of evaporation given it's Florida and the sump is still in the garage.I got nuthin'.
I'm not a doser.
Nice progress!RODI lines to the ATO reservoir working .... no leaks. 95% of wire management managed. Power tested all equipment that will run dry. Identified soon to be location for the ReefDose 4 when it arrives. Ordered three skinny jugs and Balling compound from BRS. Checkity check check check.... what is left to do until the parts are available for the skimmer and the Dose arrives? LEAK CHECK!!!
Got the bad boy wet today. Still a lot of water to make and then yeah.... sand rinsing... and canopy building.... but hey .... it's been a LONG time coming. There is finally some water in the tank. Once I get her half full tomorrow, I'll add a wavemaker and bring salinity in line. Tonight, I'm just going to be happy of I don't wake up to a puddle.
Gotta go fire up the resume writing I've dodged all day.... going to build on the positive momentum.
THANK YOU!!!Nice progress!
Went to check it, it was still dripping. Grabbed the pliers to tighten some more - cracked the bulkhead on the emergency drain. Naturally, I have no more unions. Thankfully, I did have a spare bulkhead. With some creative elbows, I just reinstalled the emergency drain. I do not know how long I need to let that glue set before I can water test, so I guess I'll give it a rest while I google it.I'm sorry to hear of the troubles, especially after the last flood! I hope it wasn't too bad to clean up
