Those type of connectors are only rated for 12 to 24 volt systems.

Yes, there appears to be a problem. My e-mails to RC have remained unanswered. Maybe for those that can access RC,would you be kind enough to post somewhere there is access problems. http://www.canreef.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10353

They sure look ugly in the nightime don't they. When I first saw mine at night I thought it had died and started to decompose. Wonder why the dramatic molted color change at night?

I utilize the remote DSB in my tank. the main tank has about a 1/2" layer of fine crushed coral and the refugium has a 5" to 6" layer of sugar sized sand. Works fine for me. I don't test for nitrates but no appreciable algae is present.

Somehow this doesn't seem right. I weigh 220 lbs. I am exceeding the 40 lbs /sq foot rating by a factor of 5 as I stand.??

Problem, is where does one get the steel template?

It MAY be strong enough, but the acrylic will bow out considerably adding a lot of visual distortion to the tank. Basically the tank will be a big eyeball?

Assuming you have already pre-cut and routered a circle with the proper diamater, here is how I made a flange. Glue or tape a piece of graph paper over the acrylic circle. In the centre of the circle drill a small hole 1/16"(explain later). From the centre 1/16" hole use a compass to draw a...

Kind of hard to explain, but basically you create a fence that runs perpendicular to the blade. At the far end of the fence is another fence that runs parallel to the blade. Basically a three sided box The height of the fence is larger than the diameter of the tubing. You place the tubing...

Out of curiousity, how do you plan on sealing the acrylic pane to the wood pane?

Lye, should be in any decent sized Supermarket. Muriatic Acid at any decent hardware store or a pool centre as it's used as a means of lowering PH.

Well, for those old enough to remember. A lot of people out there would pay good money for a smooth rock in a paper box. Come on guys remember the pet rock in the 70's.

Do the Gemini's make any noise at all when running. I was wondering if they might be a bit noisy because the motor is out of the water.

Anybody have any comments which is a better powerhead the Gemini or the Aquaclear 5000. From the specs they appear to pump the same volume of water (950gph). The Aquacear is a bit cheaper nd can be completely submersed.
