  1. Made more progress over last 2 weeks after graduating from University of YouTube and got some tips from FB groups. Sink is fully functional and plumbing leak tested. Ran out of dry wall mud to finish patching up the wall. Next steps: paint, water seal, replace carpet with hardwood, then I can move the sump in and connect to my fish tank.
  2. It looks a bit on the thin side. I would try to fatten it up with some high quality flake food like Cobalt. Feed it 3+ daily. Hopefully with more nutrition, it's immune system can help it recover.
  3. We got a lot of snow in Redmond, WA.
  4. I love that idea. Thanks for the tip.
  5. Worked on sink drain plumbing. Waiting for amazon to deliver washing machine outlet box to finish the drain system then connect to sewer line. Plan is to place the skimmer waste line into the washing machine outlet box drain. Then use a solenoid to "flush out" the drain line daily or just use RO waste water to flush out the drain line.
  6. Making some progress... Just the right size sink for tiny sump room (AKA Harry Potter's room). 🤣
  7. 1 free ticket for Barrier Reef Aquariums. Thanks
  8. PLA is fine. It's biodegradable but only in commercial composting. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/X_Gh-3PQhiE
  9. My Achilles is so chill. He will eat flakes off my hand.
  10. I'm planning to add them to my new system. After tearing down my old system with just skimmer in the sump, there was so much detritus sentiment (not so miracle mud) in the sump. With sump being so low on the ground, it so difficult to siphon out and wet vac fills up too fast to be useful.
  11. Just saw this post... From your pic, your AC power adapter is constant current so it varies it's output voltage to provide constant 1.27A. The link from Amazon is a constant voltage power adapter, so it have a constant DC output voltage of 48V but various the current up to 1.25A. So unless your LED just happened to need 48V at 1.27A, it will not work. Either find/buy a constant current power adaptor with the specs required, or you can MacGyver it with the 48V constant voltage power adaptor from Amazon then add/design a DC to DV constant current converter. Please be careful taking apart AC power adapters. Even DC at 48V can be dangerous. I agree with previous comment that it's probably not worth fixing.
  12. Very cool build! Sorry if this was already covered but I didn't see it. How are you venting your fish room? Are you venting with negative pressure in the fish room or do you have some sort of balanced venting system?
  13. Power was out for 14hrs. Lesson learned... tankless hot water is great till there's a power outage. Haha
  14. Production delays due to new product development. ReeFi Uno are being packaged up with eco-friendly materials. Will be on pallets in next few days.
  15. This bubble coral is insanely bright. Even when the lights have dim down for the evening, it's still glowing.
  16. I found the overflow design Mike send me:
  17. I have 2 1000lb dolly lift tables and some glass suction cups to move the tank.
  18. I'm thinking of selling my custom 235gal (72"x30"x24"H) rimless 3 sided starfire glass tank. I paid $3800 new and was built by Mike from Oceans by Design. Asking for $1800 for tank and wooden stand. I have custom CNC polycarbonate top (cost $400) that I will include as well. Tank specs: 235gal (72"x30"x24"H) Rimless 3/4" (19mm) thick glass Euro braced bottom 3 sided Starfire clear glass Black back and black silicon Center overflow with 2 1.5" drain and 2 1" return ~500lbs I will empty and clean it. Here's an old pic before tear down:
  19. I've been netting out stars for my harlequin shrimps when I first got them almost a year ago. Now that they're bigger, so much easier when they're in the display tank. Glad my fishes do not bother them.
  20. Yes, Scott did a great job on the stand.
  21. Filled with 400gal, raised the skimmer, moved more rocks from old tank... until I get a sump, daily top off 3-4gals is becoming a chore, so I got 2 polycarbonate sheets to cover the top. Put 3 ReeFi Uno prototypes as temporary lighting. I also transfered my 2 harlequin shrimps from frag tank. I wasn't sure how my 3" yellow Corie wrasse would react to them. Only my Regal angel showed some interest for first 2 mins.
  22. Not much progress... Just added more water. Now at 250gal. Fishes seem happier to have a little more water height.
  23. I got 5 2.5" holes drilled. Picked up silicone seal and Great Stuff to seal the gap between floor and PVC pipes. Also started tearing down my old tank. Moved all my fishes over to their new home, but it's an AIO now until I get a sump and finish prepping the sump room. I always wash my hands and arms before working on my tank. Never thought I would be washing my feet and legs too. Haha
