theishkid Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Well, I measured the screen frame to fit within the clips, so it rests on the the clips. I cleverly glued black tubing to the top of the acrylic back wall, and use 2 clips, one on each side, and the screen sits perfectly... Cad by J.L Photography, on Flickr Did those clips come with the tank? Mine are completely different for mine and wouldn't work like that. Quote Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Diesel's are awesome for fuel consumption. What size tank does the TDi have? Well, I pushed one tank to 16.5 gallons, I believe the tank holds either 18, or 18.5 gallons... I filled this last tank right when the light came on, with 15.6 gallons, so I'm pretty sure that I could've squeezed 750 out of that tank! Did those clips come with the tank? Mine are completely different for mine and wouldn't work like that. They came with the tank, yes 2 Quote Link to comment

We just moved into our new house a few weeks ago and after I set up My new tank I took over a big closet in the basemeny set up shelves and everything is in there and she still complained about that... I laughed and walked away Quote Link to comment
theishkid Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Thanks for the reply… they've changed the type of clips they use now so I've got to find some other option now. Quote Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Just changed the tube on my bubble magus doser head for alk, it was leaking like a sieve... what a pain in my ass to get the head cover off, jesus lol Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Hi Tron, I'm looking for that window screen frame in black like yours and online at HD and lowes they either have brown, white or aluminum. Where did you get your black frame from? Quote Link to comment
Ecospire Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Hi Tron, I'm looking for that window screen frame in black like yours and online at HD and lowes they either have brown, white or aluminum. Where did you get your black frame from? Kat, I know that bulkreefsupply has the black frame on their site. I was at my local Lowes the other day and didn't see any black in their store either. Also, Tron, could you snap a photo of your filter sock mount in your first chamber? Since StevieT is dragging his feet on coming out with a mini34 basket I want to trade out my egg crate basket for something else. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I saw that, too much $ IMO Kat, I know that bulkreefsupply has the black frame on their site. I was at my local Lowes the other day and didn't see any black in their store either. Quote Link to comment
Ecospire Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I saw that, too much $ IMO Yeah it is slightly on the pricy side compared to what you can find locally. Quote Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Hey yall.... my lowes carried only the black screen frame, like for a sliding door, or window. Oh, for that I just add a layer of Floss directly on top of the blue Sponge. The carbon is right under neath... We desperately need those baskets. 1 Quote Link to comment
tlombardo Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Was browsing the CAD Lights site and came across your tank. I'm assuming you are aware that it's there and probably posted about it here at some point but I enjoyed randomly seeing it there. Maybe they'll put up an updated FTS eventually http://www.cadlights.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=46 Quote Link to comment
4x5 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 What's going on Tron? We need some updates. Quote Link to comment

What's going on Tron? We need some updates. Lackadaisical miscare and neglect my friend.... neglect.... good riddance to husbandry if I can't figure out simplest of issues anymore... for too many years have I meticulously tried to baby and at times harass the over watching of this tank and am stubbornly disappointed with the lack of cooperation with either algae, coral behavior, and or equipment... This bitch is on autopilot, and I merely top off the water reservoir and feed from time to time... To be honest, I think the system has stabilized since I have stopped doing water changes lol... pffft... figures... (can you tell me disgust with trying to correct any issues? lol) Quote Link to comment
4x5 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I feel you, sometimes the simplest things are the most frustrating and we over think them. Auto pilot the crap out of it if no water changes are working. I'm sure it will make a turn for the better. Quote Link to comment
mpsti05 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 November demands a updated fts bro! 1 Quote Link to comment
