Rosco's Reefs

Expensive means I went to home depot and they want a fortune for it. Anyone have other sources? Finally, who sells weldon? Thx

I am building a bracket out of two pieces of 1\4" acrylic and would to glue\bond two pieces together on the thin sides to form the top of the bracket. What glue or bonding compound have people use successfully? I could just heat it and bend it but that stuff is way expensive. Ideas appreciated. Thx

I also had a good experience recently and recommend them highly. I have since found more I needed and continuing to work with them.

I agree. That's the one I'm going with.

Thx very much. These look to be "one or the other" products...am I correct, or do you use them both at the same time?

Need some advice for a friend of mine. We are bringing up a large tank and he wants to do it fast so it can be up for early December. I have heard good reviews about the DrTims product but it is EXPENSIVE. Are there other brands for less or should we just pay it if we want the quickest results. Thx Ross

Some responses to your questions about Reef Angel. A blurb from the Reef Angel forum here Another blurb here I asked your question about power detection but must've not understood the question because he said: The data is available on the user portal, on various open source apps, and via either CSV or XML feeds Like any hobby, work expands to overfill the amount of time anyone has to invest in it. My recommendation, regardless of which controller you choose, is to get the basics up, then add one new thing at a time until you have it doing what you want. As to new features, I never cease to be amazed at what the programming wonks discuss on a daily basis on the forum, best of all they share their code as they perfect it. As for me? I have NEVER written a line of code for this thing...I am pretty good at cut, copy, paste, however. Then if I break their code, they help me fix it. Ross

Most any controller on the market will do what you want to do. I have the Reef Angel controller and really like it. It does require a more computer savvy person to do the more esoteric functions but supports all the above plus dosers, skimmers, chillers, automatic water changers, etc. Support is readily available on the forums and I can also help if needed. Much progress has been made on this controller in recent months to make it more "user-friendly," to include installation menus, configuration menus, etc. You do the programming on a close-by computer or laptop; it is a pain to have to move the Reef Angel to the computer. While you are a little far from Gaithersburg, I'd be happy to have you over and show you what I'm doing with mine, if interested. Every time this topic comes up the board goes nuts defending their particular brand of controller; let's don't do that this time. It all comes down to, in my mind, what you like. I am a tinkerer, a DIY person, so I went this route. You will eventually go yours. Thanks.

did anyone cross-post on CMAS?

I just ordered and paid for mine. Times 'a wastin!

All mine is in my sump. I do run two heaters, one on each end of the sump, with the temp and ph probe in the middle and equi-distant from each other.

I hadn't thought of possible ways to use that waste (but clean) water. I live in a condo and cannot bleed into a garden but the washer has some merit. Doesn't an RODI produce about waste water in about a 3:1 ratio? That would be a lot of waste water to try and save. What do others think?

Working with Justin on my questions. I am still in. Thx

Anybody else comment on the drain? I need to install a RODI under a sink that looks almost exactly like that. I guess I could do a saddle drain but don't really want to. Thx

I never cease to be amazed at the levels of expertise that come out of this club...and all for $20 bucks a year! Go WAMAS!

Placing my order now. Thx Avast!

how will you do your drain? Great Post, very timely too

This means if you don't sell ten, you won't sell any at this price? Thx

this is what I am doing for my rodi. My new plan will use the drain from my washer to take the old salt water.

Is the 90G gone? Thx

Aquatic obsessions had a used rodi from water general (the one I have) on sale for dirt the other day. I built a water change station for myself for not a lot of money.

Never thought about it...Is there a market for it? The water cost would be minimal, delivery would kill you, unless you were subscribing to other monthly services to spread the cost.

this is exactly what I did as well. Go to Home Depot, they sell a garden hose splitter for about $3, run the drain into the washer drain.
