Have you tested that brass 3-way connection on the rodi unit? I bought one of those and hated it. Is that the one where you push the little pin inside the tube and then screw the nut on to clamp it down? I kept having my tubing burst off the nut every time I turned the pressure on.

Looking great! 3d printing is going to advance so much stuff in this world. Or at least make things more accessible.

Hey there! Welcome to the forum. Check out the classified section to see what people are selling. You can likely find what you are looking for at a decent price.
October 19th we are having our monthly club meeting that will feature a key note speaker with a specialty in cold water marine. You will not want to miss that!

Hey everyone,
So I posted this before, but I wanted to see if there were more opinions. The Salifert test kit comes with a calibration fluid that is 6.7 dkh. You are suppose to add the titration fluid until it turns "from blue/green to an orange/red or pink color, whichever color is observed first)."
This is my problem. When I use the calibration fluid and add enough fluid for it to be 6.7, it looks very purple.
When testing my tank, I always continue adding until I get a legitimate pink color. The difference between purple and pink is not huge, but it is about 1.0 dkh. Here are some pictures. I added the benadryl so people could compare colors with some kind of constant. The purple is the calibration fluid and the pink is where I test to. Who uses these tests and what color do you shoot for? If I had a different test I'd compare them, but I only have Salifert.

Hey Ken, I'll be seeing Micah this weekend so I could pick them up for you (if you decide to trade for them)

Use a siphon hose and scratch/suck the bubble into the tube.

I've got the TECO mint cream and sailor's warning. Although the latter is a bit washed out atm. If you've lost those I could trade you, but it'd be a month or two.

Sorry for the stupid small pictures for some reason they wouldn't go bigger.
Use photo bucket to link your full sized pics.
The setup is looking awesome!

I keep a heater in a hang on refugium. If a tank leaked far enough to expose my heater, the heater would be the least of my worries. Maybe it could explode and shatter the tank? Possible, but not likely.

Use pvc and glue?

Yea buddy! I'm glad everything went great today!

Maybe badxgillen can help you out.

That has got a real nice look to it!

Yea buddy! I'll see you in a couple hours. Happy birthday!
I feel like I should just post your address and create an impromptu meeting at your house
-
Hahahaha! I guess it pays to be tech savvy. Gonna find me an app for that. I feel this is something that could be useful.

Happy you found yourself something to keep the hobby alive in your home. Looking good!

I had these little polyps showing up that I didn't like so I just put a piece of hydno next to it. Problem solved...Although I've got more so maybe it's time to move the hydno again.

"Hydnophora, that freak show of an acro should have it's own class." Haha! Great response![emoji2]

Manzanita is a California thing, but it creeps into the Oregon area. I can connect you with this guy that sells and ships manzanita all over. Great prices and shipping is usually around 20-25 depending on size.
Additionally, there is the best hook up on the way to Newport. I don't know if the person is still there (he was selling his property the last time I was there), but on the Corvallis highway, about midway between Corvallis and Newport there is a house with a big sign that says "Exotic Wood Furniture." That guy sells awesome pieces of manzanita for really cheap. I've bought wood from him three times for my planted tanks. On a side note, his wood furniture is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Way out of my price range, but still great to look at.
