  1. A horse of course

     

    I added another horse to the stable. I didn't need another car, but didn't need the quad that I had either. Former owner was the second owner and approached me with a trade. Started restoration 8 months ago, have no idea if I'm going to drive it daily, park it for weekends or sell it. Here is the 1955 low milage chevy 210 wagon. Added HEI ignition, split the manifold and running duals, repaired/replaced several panels due to rust, went through the mechanical systems and tossed a ton of new glass,chrome,stainless,tires and by Feb 1st will have all new uphoulstry.

  2. baffled?

     

    ""I have a few micro bubbles in the display, guess I did a bad job on the baffles and the pump area seems way to small now. Time for a new sump ""

     

    Jacob, can you shoot a better pic of the baffle area? it looks like the last baffle -to- pump box is at a 45 degree angle and is causing a cascading effect into the return. The baffle chamber before that area seems clear in the pic. If so, eliminate the 45 at the top and see if that helps. You could also stack another full piece in the design which may help.

  3. Look at gas bubble disease. There are several versions of it and how it affects horses. I used some extra fiber material to cut down the micro bubbles in our tank and has helped after the first one passed.

    You have a PM regarding rehoming a seahorse

  4. I have seen his set up and it is NICE!!! Everything is well thought out, routed and hospital clean. The display, empty, would be a nice show piece with the doors open!

     

    Mark; Where did you move? Still have your bike? If you need help posting pic's email them to me? Start a thread on the tank sale....pic's don't do it justice I know, but it will get the ball rolling.

  5. Roger, use a 1" wide piece of acrylic 12" long, heat it in the oven at 180 for 10 min ontop of a 2x4. Pull it out and make a 1" 90 degree bend the 1" 90 bend at one end to hang over the sump. At the other end bend a step large enough to drill a 7/16 hole for the mechanical float switch. Zip tie the line to the bracket in a large loop and hang it in the sump.

  6. From what I have read on here and other forums in laymans terms it's like dog food. If you have a dog with a sensative stomach ( corals and fish are sensative) and you just switch foods on the dog, you can no longer clean up the backyard with a shovel and must use a spatula or hose. I haven't heard of killing anything other that one guy that experienced zoo's melting, but couln't pin it on the new salt switch. Everything just retracts for awhile until the shock wears off. I just try to ease in the mixture and keep the shock load down.
