So, Alberto, tell us about what you learned about the reflectors for those of us who weren't there.

 

Thanks

[Re: Freon discharge]

Thanks bcjm, but I don't know the first thing about using the freon manifold thing.

 

I need someone who knows how to do it.

 

I going to have to send the chiller to the factory and have them do it.

 

Thanks

[Re: Freon discharge]

I am in need of someone who can discharge my chiller of freon so I can work on it and then charge it back with freon.

 

Does anyone know anybody who can do that?

 

Thanks

[Reef store in southern MD?]

Personally, I really like Roozens. They have good prices and good selections of fishes and corals, especailly SPS.

 

They have their problems, but then who doesn't.

 

David

[Great purchase alert!]

I have to second that, Alberto.

 

They also have very good selections of big SPS colonies.

 

Very nice store.

Michael,

 

I don't know if what I have is what you are looking for, but you welcome to video it anytime.

Maybe the mandrine is not a healthy fish. These fishes seem to know when one is not healthy and defenseless.

 

Just my observation.

Hi,

 

What would happen if I try to fire up 400 watt saki bulbs with 250 watt ballast (PFO)?

 

Would it mess up either the bulb or ballast?

 

Thanks

Thanks, Michael. If I need it I will let you know.

 

Glenn, I live in MD near UMCP. So it would be nice to find one around me.

 

Thanks

Thanks for your help, everyone.

 

I just got a used chiller (6 years old) from someone in WA state and it came with BOTH in & out take broken. The sender claims it was fine when it left his place and I am stuck with it.

 

It is made by Aquanetics and to be honest, I am very disappointed how it is put together. It is made with sch 40 PVC pipe and they are in bad shape. Not only that, the pipes are there without any support so when the pipes are screwed in or out all the torque is forced on the pipes. I hope I am making sense. They should have made it so that the pipes are secured on the cover of the chiller so the pipes are not stressed when screwing in or out the pipes from the pump. Am I making sense?

 

I think that is what happened. When this guy took it apart, the PVC pipes cracked and it got broken during shipping. I hope that is what happened. I hope he didn't send it knowing they were broken.

 

Anyway, I am in the process of fixing it and I wanted to replace the PVC pipes with the sch 80 instead of 40.

 

Sorry for the long story.

Is that right? I did not know that. Hmmmm....  Something to think about.

 

Thanks.

Thank you, Scott, for offering.

 

Let me see if I can find a Lowes around me first and if I can't I will let you know.

 

I am looking for some 1" pipes and couple of 90 degree angle coupler and few other things.

 

I just want to make this project a lasting one so I want to go with the sch 80 instead of 40.

 

Thanks again.

 

David

[PVC Pipes]

Do all Lowes carry them?

 

I hate to drive to Frederick to just get PVC pipes.

 

Thanks

Hi guys,

 

Does anybody know where I can get schedule 80 PVC pipes and fittings? At Homedepot all they sell are schedule 40.

 

Thanks
