    Screwcap won't fit on atomizer after tubing

    You put the nut onto the atomiser as far as it will go, then push the tube on and then reverse the nut.

    Lily Pipe Cleaner

    Well my wife won't miss the rice or the spaghetti but I'd soon be in trouble if I cut up her body scrub :lol:

    Lily Pipe Cleaner

    I use rice or small pieces of uncooked spaghetti. Throw some pieces into the pipe with a bit of water, cover the ends and shake. :)

    UP inline diffuser leaking (again)...

    I had this issue and managed to repair it by running some superglue along the seal.

    diy spray bar

    There's one here Chris. http://ukaps.org/forum/threads/problem-with-resonance-tone-in-diy-spray-bar.30453/#post-320579 I abandoned my acrylic bar as I couldn't stop the noise:(

    Aquarium CO2 Reactor Diffuser with pump

    TMC do something similar. I've used them and found they work well.

    Problem with resonance tone in DIY spray bar

    Well I tried increasing the hole size up to the point where the pressure was unequal across the spraybar and it failed to have any real impact:( This is so annoying:mad:

    Ok thanks Tim. I'm going to try increasing the hole sizes. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Problem with resonance tone in DIY spray bar

    Actually that's not true, it just raises the pitch so its less audible. Turning the flow up and down just changes the pitch so I think I might have to increase the hole size.

    Problem with resonance tone in DIY spray bar

    Any resolution to this? I've just made an acrylic spray bar and have the same issue but it goes by covering one of the holes:crazy:

    D-D Co2 set, coverting to FE?

    Thanks for the info:thumbup:

    D-D Co2 set, coverting to FE?

    It is a poor show. CO2 injection is possibly now more popular than ever and them not supplying a FE adapter might have a knock on effect on sales of the reg. I got one of the original adapters but have two regs. I'm going to experiment will plugging the hole.

    D-D Co2 set, coverting to FE?

    Lee - if the pin hole can be sealed the JBL one will work. Its just that the thread isn't long enough on it to cover the hole. I'm not sure what purpose the hole serves but I'm sure there must be a way of sealing it:banghead:

    D-D Co2 set, coverting to FE?

    Yeah I ordered it online and they came back about a week later and refunded my money saying they were out of stock and are not made anymore. That's when I looked at a JBL one but I found a post on another forum saying it will not work unless you can plug the pin hole in the D-D / Deltec one. As...

    D-D Co2 set, coverting to FE?

    That is the one Hoggie but I cant believe they are still advertising it. It was that site that told me they are not made anymore when I tried to order one six months ago. Might be worth another try though.

    D-D Co2 set, coverting to FE?

    It has become a real pain now that these are no longer manufactured. Some places will tell you that a JBLU-M converter will do the trick but unless you can seal the pin hole in the D-D neck where the reg screws into it won't work.

    DIY spray bar colour options

    Sorry, I hadn't seen your other thread. I also want to paint my pipes black so will post up here if I find anything.

    DIY spray bar colour options

    I think some people use Crayola paint which is aquarium safe. On a different note It's not advisable to connect two filters to one spray bar.

    JBL drop checker

    Hi Frederick. The original JBL solution had to be added to 4dkh. The newer solution that you have just needs to be put into the drop checker with no 4dkh solution.

    Cracked Eheim 2324 Canister

    The water alarm looks worth doing on any set up, repaired or not, for the price.

    Cracked Eheim 2324 Canister

    Yes it is Bob. A non thermo canister replacement is quite a reasonable price but I can only find spares listed complete with heater module for the 2324. Spares or repair is also a good suggestion. I'm going to try the ct1 fix that Jez suggested first. The break is right in the corner, and is...

    Cracked Eheim 2324 Canister

    Thanks for the advice. It's actually worse than I first thought, the corner is almost hanging off. I didn't know if epoxy or super glue would hold it and then seal from the inside with an aquatic sealer. Again I'm not sure if the sealant would stick to this kind of plastic? I did look at a new...

    Cracked Eheim 2324 Canister

    I recently got the above filter 2nd hand from Ebay. Today I got time to install it. On adding water to the canister to cleann it the water leaked onto the floor. Closer inpection shows a crack in one corner down by one of the feet. This is obviously an expensive part to replace and would...

    Reflector Refurb

    Hi, The paint on the relector in my Aquamode 600 has started to flake and turn brown. I'm looking to repaint it but do I need a special reflective paint or just an off the shelf white? Any help appreciated.
