    *Winter Storm Severe Weather Alert* Are you prepared?

    Pipe behind the shower between the bathroom and master bedroom goes up into the attic and at the header it sprung a leak. It was the hot line and I think 40 years of rubbing from thermal expansion finally won. I caught it fast enough that I just got some soggy carpet that a dehumidifier and fan...

    *Winter Storm Severe Weather Alert* Are you prepared?

    I had a waterfall behind my shower. Don't think the pipe froze though, the whole length of it was caked in green corrosion so it looks like a pinhole picked during the freeze to open up. I caught it quickly and turned off the water so there was no real damage.

    Need some Expert Help!!!

    Dunno if I'm an expert, but I would recommend the display unit and setting up audible alarms. The new main units and the fmm's have speakers but they are usually tucked away. I ran the cable for the display out of my home office into the living room and have it set up so that if temps or...

    12V to 24V battery backup

    Yes, the 5A should work then. Electronics tend to have peak efficiency near the middle of their range but the difference is not that great. One benefit of a larger one would be longer life if it is not high quality since lower quality ones would not have much head room at max power and would...

    12V to 24V battery backup

    VxA=W You do not fuse for V or W so they list A. 15A at 12V would be 180W. AH is Amp Hours, a 12V 100AH battery would run 1A for 100H, or 2A for 50H, and so forth. 12V 2A is 24W, so it would run 24W for 50 hours. Less than that in reality due to losses though.

    Hydros or Apex With all the new updates what system would you get and why?

    I have used Apex for almost 10 years now and if I started fresh today I would be tempted to try Hydros. Woke up this morning to an issue I have gotten twice before, somehow the addresses for all the modules got jumbled and I ended up having to delete all modules and set everything back up. One...

    210g Aqueon office tank

    Another 3 months. Got 3 new corals to find spots for This one broke off the mount and ended up in a crack This one lost some color and seems to be slowing in growth. I think it is from salinity getting too high and I'm doing some water changes to get that back down. At least the colony I had...

    Whole house RO

    I have my system under my kitchen sink with a T before the DI for drinking water that goes to two tanks then to a sink faucet and over to the fridge and pressure has not been an issue for me. The RO/DI line for the fish tank is hidden in crown molding and goes across the entire house without...
