Finally finished my water station. Thank u all again for your help. Presently testing to see if there are any leaks. Only took me an year to start working on it but glad it's done now

Found one here but looking for something local

http://www.premier1supplies.com/detail.php?prod_id=136&cat_id=8

Made a cheap DIY "Julian's thing" the other day from stuff I had laying around. Cost nothing.

10 mL syringe.

2' length of airline tubing

1" length of hospital auction tubing

1.5' length of rigid airline tube.

I straightened the airline tube by warming it with water an putting kabob skewers through it and letting it cool. It stays straight enough.

Used super glue to join it with the flexible airline tubing using the little 1" suction tube. Like joining two PVC pipes. It was a perfect fit. Then the airline tube meets the syringe.

Now I can spot feed each lps coral without gettin my hands wet. Reaches all the way to the bottom of the tank.

Saved $40

Where can we find the big syringes? My wife said that she saw them once at a concert with Jell-O shots. I tried walgreens and cvs and they looked at me wierd like why do u need something that big

Thank u all. I have a water softener in the garage that I can try the split way described above once I can make space. But for now I will try aquatek or river city. If they don't will order from brs. Thanks all for taking the time and helping

Got mine from Bulk Reef Supply.

I got mine at Home Depot.

I am not having very good luck with the metal connector that they sell
in lowes. The water keeps leaking from the top where the tube goes into
the adapter. the picture is attached below of what i am using.

Sorry been busy with Christmas - hopefully I can pull it off the computer tomorrow

No problem. I am not going to start for a couple of days

Thx Nicole. That would be really helpful.

Thx to all that responded

Where did u buy the ones with the removable lids?

Thx victoly and Tim.

Tim do u have any pictures of ur setup that u can share?

How did you get it clean? Just rinse it out with water or do I need to do anything special. The guy I bought it from said it was sweet tea concentrate that was in it. Just wanted to make sure that I do it right on cleaning instead of rushing to setup

Got two of the 55 gallon barrels. But after buying realized the top won't come off totally. It just has two openings.

Does any one have the same barrels setup for RO and salt mixing? If so can u post some pics

Is there anyway to open the tops and still use them to cover the top

I am thinking of adding an outlet at the bottom of barrels so I can easily fill them in 5 gallon buckets. But not sure where I can find the spigots.

These are the pics of what I bought

I have an ASM G2 skimmer that works great but the pump got some thing in it and the impeller got stuck. I can include the pump if you want. I am buying a new bubble magus curve 7 so selling the G2.

PM me with offers. No low ball offers though. I can just replace the pump for $70 and keep as backup. This is well worth the money.

I see mike already claimed skimmer.

Mike - if u read this, if ur not in urgent need of skimmer can I please have it. My impeller got stuck on my asm g2 and can't get it out. I am running a hang on back small skimmer but I already see a lot of algae. So if u don't need a skimmer right away please let me know.

Thx

I need a skimmer really bad. Mine gave up. Plz let me know if u still have it. Sent pm also

It's jammed pretty tight. Tried pulling it out but it won't budge :-(

Does anyone have the sedra 3500 pump or a skimmer that u want to sell?
