yeah.. you'll want to rinse that with fresh water or alcohol to get the salt out before drying it out with rice. it was RO water... no salt...but valid point
-
another handy tip: After knocking my Tunze wave controller into a half-filled bucked while still plugged in, it started to freak out (leds flickering, not remaining on etc) I took out all the screws, shook out all the water I could and still the problems persisted. repeated and placed it in a ziplock bag with dry rice and sealed it up. Left it overnight and works perfectly this morning! (the rice absorbs the moisture in the bag) Generally I would recommend 24-72 hours just to be sure

The "rice trick" does work on wet electronics...saved a Tunze wave controller last night

Maybe algaebox-ception (algaebox inside another slightly bigger box) creating a buffered grow-zone. Like how zoos have not know a fence between you and the bear, but also a moat.

Since zeovit is an ULNS it would be hard to keep any macro alive, it would tend to have huge die off.

Does anyone have a 1.75" glass hole saw?

+1 on manifolding return, phosban just needs enough flow to keep the media tumbling

I saw...and I had to restrain myself -
A drilled siphon break is unnecessary if: A) your sump can hold the water that flows back through until your return is exposed to air b) you don't use too much locline/have it too deep c) have a check valve (but these can fail) a drilled siphon break is a safety measure

example...I have a DSA neo 90 tank (1" overflow 3/4" return) you will notice in the picture i sent they have all three the same size, however there are 2 overflows...so in essence the return is 1/2 the size of the overflows in that configuration, and it is fine
-
yes...as long as you are not getting full siphon
-
for the return it is just a piece of pipe that fits into the bulkhead then has a 90 that is threaded on one side to accept the lockline depending on the tank size this will probably be a 3/4" - 1" pvc see the center pipe here:

Ok I lied...mine is at ~55 when active, and then trails down to 0 when the auto shutoff kicks in

Pretty sure mine runs around 40 all the time
