    Krish's "Rubik's cube"

    Hi Krish, I was just looking at your sump, and I hate to say this but I think that you are going to have bigtime salt creep problems. Also the water level is set so high by the baffles that you are not going to have much of a buffer zone for when your pumps are turned off. I think that you are...

    Twist lock flanges

    The angle is not real critical, you just need a little bit of ramp to squeeze down onto your o-ring. In reality you could probably be fine with as little as 3 deg of ramp. On the one I made the just sliced a 1" long ramp on the edge that wend about 1/8" deep from one end to the other.

    tonights mistake

    Yup, that is the reason to go with a dosing pump as the way to dose kalk. I decided that I am not going to even mess with kalk at all recently, just a pita. I would do your WC and cross your fingers. How hi has your ph spiked?

    Quarantine chaeto?

    Well I think that it is a great idea to quarantine the chaeto also. I just plopped mine in from the lfs and it did have quite a few nasties like planaria. Luckily my system is so low nutrient that they didn't really stand a chance. So anyway good luck with that, and if you need any chaeto, I...

    Sounds like a custom bent piece of pvc is in order. But you can always redo it too.

    Scooties Project "X"

    Ya sorry that was not real clear, 1.25 thread to 1.5 slip bushing. It will thread right over the bulkhead, just put a little silicone around the threads, and thread it on and away you go.
