    Noisy skimmer air intake solutions?

    in General Discussion

    Here's what mine looks like from outside. All I did was use 1/2" RO tubing, run from the skimmer to the fitting outside (see below) just to ensure I didn't restrict any airflow, since its run ~30ft. Here are pics from outside the house. The white piece is just a 1/2" JohnGuest fitting/threaded coupling. The black circle is just a sealant to ensure I didn't create an entryway for water, bugs, etc..

    Fazio - yeah, that sounds like a really good idea and it must be nice.I don't have that option though....maybe when I get my 330g one day ;-) Thinking smaller scale for now...it's a 46bow with a 15h sump and isn't even on an outside wall

     

    You can do that for any sized system. My intake runs about 30ft until it finally hits an outside wall and goes outside. Its really simple too and can be inconspicuous with clear tubing...

    Looks good! You should try to move the Bubble Gum Monster and that candy cane. They are getting too much light.

     

    Thanks! I would move the chalices, but they are covering a 12"+ base rock. I'm just going to let some of the surrounding SPS create overhead shade as they grow out, which several are already starting to do. Where they are being shaded by other SPS, the colors are just awesome!

    What are people's thoughts on good upper level schooling fish? Other than chromises and anthiases that need to be fed 4x a day.

     

    I am leaning towards both of those actually and just using the auto feeder I already have on the tank.

     

    I love your tank it's absolutely gorgeous...

    Where did you find the 11' piece of wood?

     

    Thanks! I got it from a local sawmill.

    Anyone good with ciruit boards?

    in General Discussion

    Hey Everyone,

     

    I have a circuit board from a Solaris fixture that had gotten a little corroded by salt, where two resistor bridge connections (soder points) have rusted thru. Everything has been cleaned with vinegar etc. to remove salt and corrosion, and has been retested to find that everything is in working order except for one sting of LEDs that are on the circuit with the broken soder points. The actual points where the resistor connections are lost are at the bridge connections, from the resistors to the board itself. Can I just bridge it with a little soder or do I need to replace the resistors as well? The only reason why I haven't tested with re-bridging by re-sodering is because of the small scale and how little soder I will need to use. I just dont want a ton to runoff onto the baord and make the situation worse. If someone is an electrical/computer engineer and wouldn't mind taking a look that would be greatly appreciated. I think it’s a quick fix, just need conformation. I tried taking pics this morning but they didn’t come out, so I will try when I get home.

     

    Thanks,

    -Anthony
