Grandmaster Reefer (9/13)

  1. GE Silicone I (without mold inhibitors) is fine to use. Can be found at Home Depot / Lowes. I will say that over time, the silicone becomes milky white. Not sure if the comparable Aqueon silicone sealant stays clear over time, but it generally cost 2x more.
  2. My six line killed a newly added flame angel over night, then all of sudden started picking on my 2 clowns that it was fine with prior to the flame. Couldn't catch the six line, so I put the clowns in the fuge for a week. Attempted to put them back in and the six line still nipped. I eventually put the clowns in an acclimation box for a couple weeks and now the six line leaves them alone.
  3. Good point. Confusing description at best. I measured 12.23mm with my calipers. I've only used John Guest fittings for the RO/DI tubing. Would they connect securely to drain cup nipple? I was originally considering a rubber elbow similar to the CoralVue version.
  4. I do have calipers... Will measure to verify. That elbow has a 15/32 ID, so I assumed the drain nipple on the cup had a 15/32 outer diameter. Thanks for the suggestions.
  5. Yes there's a drain already. Skimmer is a Reef Octopus 152s. The drain might be a 15/32 diameter.
  6. Anyone know where I can find something like this locally? Haven't checked HD or Lowe's in store yet, but couldn't find anything searching their sites. https://www.coralvue.com/drain-line-elbow-adapter Thanks
  7. This looks amazing. Can you tell us about your tank... water parameters, lighting schedule, dosing routine, maintenance etc? Thanks
  8. It can use the same SSID, but in reality, it's still two separate connections and running the same SSID won't allow you to pick and chose which one you want to connect to. For the device closest to the extender, it should automatically pick up the stronger signal, but if you're connected on your phone and move about your place, your phone could continue to maintain the weaker SSID. I don't know if your router and/extender has the ability to set minimum RSSI to release the connection so your device can connect to the stronger signal. However, it shouldn't be a problem for your Apex because it's stationary.
  9. Powerlines are generally better than extenders. With the extender, you'll have another SSID you'll need to connect your wireless devices that need the "boosted" signal. You'll have to run ethernet from the apex to the extender. The extender is connecting wirelessly to the router. With powerlines, you're using your home's electrical wiring to connect to your router (more stable and generally faster). You could add another router to the powerline and create an access point. If you wanted to keep it really simple and depending on how far away the apex is from the router, you could run a long ethernet cable and use cord covers.
  10. Welcome! That's true dedication moving the tank from Louisiana.
  11. I concur. The aquatic section at this Petco is one of the better ones...
  12. Where did you get these from? Looks kinda similar to the Apex ones. I have the Apex ATO and a just a bit of salt creep from water splashing in the return chamber caused the sensor to stay "closed." This was over the course of several months... My fault for not wiping it off periodically.
