hummers.....not the truck

Gezpacho.....

with lohan, I actually think she got hotter the last couple of years, until last year, when she went anorexic. Too bad shes such a train wreck. "hot mess" comes to mind. the olsons both need a cheesburger, and very badly....of course at this point, so does lindsey. How about a new string along those lines..... Megan Fox

breaking the rules, cause that just sounds wrong. What I meant was that they have gotten progressively uglier the last couple of years. Not that I only thought they were hot when they were underage.

ugly once legal

OK, I admit that maybe those werent my real car. Here is what I am currently driving. For really reals this time.

It does make you scared for our future, huh.

Wow, I'm famous!

You mean you saw me driving around? Portland can be a pretty small city sometimes. Next time you see me, honk, my horn plays "la cucaracha". Its sweet. (whistle)(whistle)(whistle)

My Rides, Yo First, is my Acura. Just had the wing custom made. Ridin on 15's.... Then, I got my hyphy Mickey-D mobile. Gets all the ladies...

ohh, should have mentioned this is on my CL. My major concern is to ensure that my pump never has to work for its water, even if some critter or other object blocks some of the intake. Thanks for the idea on the pool/spa store.

yes, that is exactly what they were. And, yes, it was Jordan. I knew I would get it wrong. Funny, I work with a guy named Jordan, so I'd have thought I would remember that name. Jordan - if you happen to read this, sorry for getting your name wrong Heres the problem now. I already have my holes drilled, and once I install the elbows, there is only about two inches of room between them for the mesh. I don't think this will be a problem, but lets test my nerd skills.(laugh) So, where the area of a circle is Pi*r^2 and the circumference is Pi*D, where r = radius and D=diameter. If I have two intake screens that are, for sake of argument, the size of the diameter of the two inch intake, I have 6.28 total intake square inches, as each intake is 3.14 square inches. (3.14 * 1^2) If I do the mesh between the two, even for only two inches, I have a total intake area that is equal to 3.14*D or 2, for 6.28 square inches of intake area per linear inch of mesh. So, if I have two linear inches of mesh, that gives me 12.56 total intake square inches. Roughly double the intake size. Did I get all that right? Too nerdy? I know, its this problem I have.

I figured I would get reduced flow a bit. I have two 2 inch bulkheads feeding a Reeflo Blackfin 6100 (6000 GPH). It has a 2 inch intake, so I figured 2 2inch bulkheads would be fine, screen or not. The guy at waves, not Joel, but I think Brandon is his name (hope I got that right). Anyways, he was very helpful, as always, and showed me a better way to do it if I have dual intakes. I probably won't lose flow this way and can use plumbing parts. Basically use two elbows, connected with a section of gutter guard to create an intake area for both holes. gonna see if I can make that work, but will have to get two more 2 inch 90 elbows from Harrington

Shoot, no luck at Waves. They only have 1.5 inch ones. Might have to try something else. Anyone else know of a place? I will check Harrington too.

Yah, I found those - that site has a ton of stuff, but shipping is ridiculous. Really, though, the fact that the 2inch bulkhead screen is 6 inches in diameter killed it for me. That is just too huge. thanks though : )

will stop by on my lunch - thanks for the possible lead. Gives me a nice excuse to head up there anyway

Wondering if anyone can give me a source for low profile bulkhead screens? the kind that screw into the bulkhead and lay flat - not the ones that extend out into the tank, like Savko sells. I need them for a two inch bulkhead. Thanks

yup, from seattle. Click the installations link and then on aquariums, pretty cool way to do a fowlr.

I'd like to give a big shout out and a thank you to CHEWIE. I read your post in Joel's thread. I called Harringon Plastics, talked with Jason there. Very helpful and they will have my part for me in 3 days and the price was fair. Thanks

Ironic, as I just read Joel's post looking for plumbing parts too. I cannot find the piece I need locally. Maybe someone on here can help me. I need to find a: 2 inch 90 Elbow. MPT x SOC or MPT x FPT I would prefer MPT x FPT. Has to be two inches. has to have a MPT end. Tried several Lowes, HD and called George Morlan, but no luck. Anyone know of a place in town? Thanks

Hi, Looking for some crushed coral. Would like to spend as little as possible, but shoot me a price. Thanks

I am not sure about coral-specific shipping supplies, but try Carton Services downtown. They are off of front street, kinda up toward the industrial area. If you have no luck there, I used to buy shipping supplies for my company from two sources. Cheswick and U-line. Google them. Depending on what you need, one or other is cheaper. Good luck.

Thanks for the sump! HE IS A GOOD SELLER GUYS - the sump was in great shape, just as described, and he was super easy to deal with. No problems whatsoever, and the price was great.
