captbunzo reef sale - part 2 - tanks & more

[Nat'nCritters]

I think we want the generator, Paul, for $150 if you have it still. Can you give me a little more detail, and help me figure out how to get it to my father in Stillwater? Thanks,
Nat and Shane

We had better look into shipping cost out to 22911 VA, though, first, as it might cost too much to get it to us. What is the weight?

 

[captbunzo]

Generator is sold, pending pickup.
25g & 47g tanks are sold, pending pickup.
Planer & Drill Press are sold, pending pickup.

And lastly, pile of wood is sold, pending pickup.

One ATO setup sold, other remaining.

Surely someone wants a 55g tank for a steal.

 

[Krbekk]

I will add the ATO and the sand to my other purchase.

 

[captbunzo]

way cool.

bumpity bump...

 

[Krbekk]

Paul, thanks for the awsome deals. We have spent the morning trying to figure out where everything is going to get set up. I haven't had this much fun since I was a wee tot at Christmas time.
I would like to wish you and your family the best in your new adventures acroos the big pond.

 

[captbunzo]

Thanks, Krbekk! We had a good time visiting with you and Travis, as well as Little Bitty and her friend.

 

[Travis L. Stevens]

Agreed. We got the ATO working last night. I have a slight problem with when it kicks on, it creates a syphon. It won't be long until I have a fix figured out though! You know me...

 

[captbunzo]

Just raise the tube a little bit so it is not below the water.

Which tube? The end connected to the powerhead or the end that dumps into the sump? That one is above water. I'm thinking a lot of it is that I have the storage bin full of water, so the water has very little distance to travel vertically to go up and over the side of the bin.

 

[captbunzo]

If the one that dumps water into the sump is above water, then you shouldn't be forming a siphon... UNLESS that end is lower then the water level in the reservoir. In that case, you need to get a shorter reservoir.

Ah yes, the water level would need to be about 8" off the ground for that to happen. And that means I would have about 1 or 2 gallons of water I think I've got an anti-syphon hose/hole method worked out.

 

[captbunzo]

55g tank still left for $400 (plus $25 pickup discount). Someone pretty please buy. That and the Oscillating Spindle Sander...

 

[captbunzo]

This great deal has now become an even better deal - 55g tank in this sale has now been reduced to a final price of $300. That's a heck of a steal.

Come and get it!
