[SPS STN I cannot figure it out]

Do you run carbon all the time? Do you need to run carbon? After so many days bacteria is going to setup on the carbon and drastically effect its ability to filter what its suppose too.

 

Why are you dosing vodka?

 

 

I would borrow someones test kits. Also have someone else do a test and see if you get the same results.

I was wondering if someone could pick up a pump for me. Then i can swing by and pick it up from you. Let me know if you are willing to help out.

 

thanks

[The Move is imminent !]

Congrats! Enjoy your time down there!

[Honestly, member how many has or had red bugs?]

I have had them and treated them with intercept.  Been a while since i had them.

[Tap & die set? anyone have one?]

thanks, got someone helping me tomorrow. If that does not work i will let you know.

[Tap & die set? anyone have one?]

When replacing the bearings on my Barracuda i damaged the treads on the barracuda. Anyone have a Tap & die set i can borrow to fix the threads?

Is where i got the bearings. They are were more exspensive then on line but i was able to bring in my bearing and match it up to the correct on. They have less exspensive ones but i choose to stay with the better brand.

[Trying to replace bearings on a reeflo pump]

I Took the bearing to a shop in manassas, got a replacement and installed them last night. I have yet to put the pump back online as i want to be home for a while so i can make sure it runs well. I am going to pick up 2 more bearings today to do the same on my barracuda that is making the same nosie.

There are a couple of different routes. You could treat the tank. Or pull your sps and treat them on their own. That bayer stuff seems to work fine.

Hate to say it but you have red bugs.

[Trying to replace bearings on a reeflo pump]

I have a reeflo dart with a Baldor motor that needs bearing work. I just pulled it offline and replaced it with a Hammerhead/Barracuda Hybrid last week. Post up what you find about the bearings. It may not help me, but it'll be good to have it on record for somebody else, I'm sure.

 

Sorry about the seal video. I'm sure that I saw a bearing video recently.... I'll have to look again.

If your is like the one in Reef addict, i have those bearings. I have a pack of 10. You can have 2 if you want to try. Shoot me a PM.

The bearing looks pretty good and spins smooth, I am wondering if its just that the armature needs to be cleaned.

[Trying to replace bearings on a reeflo pump]

The shaft .you can even see rust inside too

[Trying to replace bearings on a reeflo pump]

here is the bearing .

[Trying to replace bearings on a reeflo pump]

If you measure the inside of the old bearing, the outside of the old bearing and the thickness of the bearing you should be able to order a replacement with those dimensions, yes.  Actually, there are plenty of local places that sell bearings, so if you bring the bearing to them they can match it and give you the right one without even measuring it.  I will look up where I got my espresso grinder bearing two years ago.

 

I searched for local places that sell bearings. Not really coming up with much.

[Trying to replace bearings on a reeflo pump]

Tom, neither of those are the correct one. I used the one from reef addict first. bought those same bearings and they and not even close to the size i need. Mine is and older baldor motor. I have a marlin and a barracuda i need to do this on. I took off the bearings already, they don't seem bad at all. Pretty smooth. But what i did notice is there is rust on the part that spins around in the magnets part. Not sure what its called.

 

btw the first video you posted is for the seal. I don't need that.

[Trying to replace bearings on a reeflo pump]

I do have it apart. Do i measure the inside of the old bearing?

[Trying to replace bearings on a reeflo pump]

Do you have a vernier caliper to measure the shaft? Or maybe the reeflo folks could tell you what size bearing to get?

a what?  No i don't.

[Trying to replace bearings on a reeflo pump]

Yea that is the seal. I want to replace the bearing on the shaft inside the casing.

 

Like this.

[Trying to replace bearings on a reeflo pump]

But i have no idea what size the shaft is. I bought bearings based off Melve reef and it was not even close.

 

My options are :

 

6203 2RS 10 6203 2RS 5/8 5/8" X 40MM X 12MM PRECISION BEARING 1 PC

 

6203 2RS 12 6203 2RS 3/4 3/4" X 40MM X 12MM PRECISION BEARING 2 PCS

 

6203 2RS 8 6203 2RS 1/2 1/2"X40MMX12MM BEARING 2 PCS SHIPS FROM THE U.S.A.

 

thanks for the help and if it works out well i will make a video of another pump i have to do.
