needed: empty 30g tank or 20 long for meeting on saturday

pwhitby · #1 10/10/2006, 01:51 PM

This is needed to show the individual powerheads off.

Anyone have one that they can bring along on saturday.

Paul.

Travis L. Stevens · #2 10/10/2006, 02:06 PM

While it won't be ideal, I'm going to bring two 10g tanks along. They won't be ideal, but they will be good back up just in case.

captbunzo · #3 10/10/2006, 02:15 PM

I vote for sparkly glitter in the tanks to see the water moving....

reefaholic101 · #4 10/10/2006, 02:21 PM

Good idea with the glitter.....lol

Travis L. Stevens · #5 10/10/2006, 02:52 PM

Jesse (Radcat) will be bringing an extra 29g tank. We'll need to leak test it first, but we have it.

pwhitby · #6 10/10/2006, 02:54 PM

and there i was wondering what to add to the water.

...sparkly glittery stuff.

Travis L. Stevens · #7 10/10/2006, 02:59 PM

Do we have glitter handy?

pwhitby · #8 10/10/2006, 03:04 PM

im sure you know where to get some travis.

ideally the glittery confetti woould be good

poke75 · #9 10/10/2006, 03:25 PM

Make sure it is small enough not to clog the pumps.

pwhitby · #10 10/10/2006, 03:29 PM

indeedy

are you coming down this coming sat to the meeting steve?

kpk · #11 10/10/2006, 04:00 PM

use a bubbler to blow air down to the intake and it will chop the bubbles up perfectly to show the flow pattern...

captbunzo · #12 10/10/2006, 04:09 PM

Except that bubbles rise, so that's going to be less obvious...

dugg · #13 10/10/2006, 07:16 PM

Don't know about everyone else, but i think i would not want anything running through my pump, that i wouldn't want a piece of hiding and ending up in my display at home. I think either bubles, or some flake food would be best for a demo/test. Something organic anyway.

captbunzo · #14 10/10/2006, 07:54 PM

Ah, a little plastic glitter isn't going to hurt a tank...

pwhitby · #15 10/10/2006, 08:06 PM

Apart from the modified Mjs, all the other pumps will be mine, and i will clean them afterwards anyway.

dugg · #16 10/10/2006, 08:38 PM

I am anxious to see what the MJ does. I will also be interested in if this cuts the life of the pump, and if it heat up more. The MJ is already a pretty warm running pump. I have done tests, and my MJ heats my tank by 2* more then my seio m620.

pwhitby · #17 10/10/2006, 09:05 PM

I tried it out today, works well. Tim is going to check the wattage on it.

We also tried it on a simple wavemaker and it worked really well....

I was impressed.

Paul.

MyMonkey · #18 10/10/2006, 09:43 PM

I have a 20 long. Not sure if I can make the meeting. Although, I can drop it by Paul's house or A.R.T. in advance if you like. Just let me know.

pwhitby · #19 10/10/2006, 10:43 PM

Hi jeramy, I think we are good for a tank,

but thanks for offering.

P.

captbunzo · #20 10/10/2006, 11:54 PM

I think it'd be nice to have a tank for each powerhead so that we can compare the results - one for maxijet mod, one for SEIO, one for a Tunze. (of course a Tunze may make a 20g tank explode)

Travis L. Stevens · #21 10/11/2006, 09:00 AM

FWIW, dugg since you won't be there, I'll try to take small video clips of each of them with my camera.

Matrexz · #22 10/11/2006, 09:11 AM

Was the maxi jet mod kit purchased online as the whole kit or did someone piece from stores here locally? Also if it was purchased locally for how much was all of it and where?? I'm asking now because I won't be able to make it saturday.

pwhitby · #23 10/11/2006, 09:25 AM

Mj Mods Kit. We purchased 4 of them.

The details are in the meeting thread.

Paul.

Travis L. Stevens · #24 10/12/2006, 03:11 PM

Has someone already gotten the glitter or is someone already assigned to or do I need to pick some up?

Travis L. Stevens · #25 10/12/2006, 04:16 PM

What about extension cords? How are we going to fill these tanks? Is there a water hose nozzle we can use?
