Got it, thx. Did you do something different?
Nah, was pushing too close to closing time for West Marine. I may have to wait until Saturday morning to pick it up.
Had I told ya that we were planning to stick around at this house for another year when our lease? Well anyway, that's why I had been working on wanting to get the 120g going again since I really really want to take the 50g down. Well low and behold I think we may have come across The House that we've been looking for. Build may be back off lol. I'm starting to feel a little bi polar with the whole thing.

Actually, I had walked it this morning before we had spoke. The wife was insistent that I go see it asap. So we had another discussion tonight. I'll shoot ya some pics on the phone...you're gonna die when you see the wood work in this house.

ES are the 26 watt capable chips
RS are the 52 watt capable chips
I was leaning more towards the 26 watt ones. These generate a lot more heat than their smaller 3,5 and 10 watt counterparts.

Yeah, Sodium chloride and Hydrogen peroxide react instantly to produce salt, water, and oxygen. Careful, the oxygen content can be quit concentrated so don't do it near any open flame.

Thanks guys!!!!! I had mentioned earlier about looking into the Loctite Marine Epoxy and found wasn't suitable for our application, but here's a product that people have been using with good success......

Smoking will kill you anyway so you might as well.

The bleach bath has begun.......Water is already started to get a little murky, but that is expected with the bleach removing the organics......

 

[2quills]

So what's the plan, soak them in the bleach solution and then bath them in a hydrogen peroxide solution?

 

[acrylic51]

Not sure about the hydrogen peroxide......The bleach will kill a lot more than the peroxide would......I might go to a quick acid bath or possibly a vinegar bath.....The vinegar is a bit less aggressive than the acid bath......So far the bleach bath is decent.....Water a bit cloudy still, but that's what I was expecting......I have to dig up a chlorine test and a phosphate test and run in fresh water and see what the results look like.....I'd like to get my hands on some Seakler and called the local pool places, but they are all closed for the season........
