Re: BHM Submerged
Hi there, I ran Bakki submerged in a simelar way to Gazza. Another point to note is that when you heavilly aireate as you need to do, the bakki in my fibreglass vortex nearly wore through the side of the chamber as it was moving against the side in 4 months. The stuff is incrediably abbrasive so wat...

Re: Skimmer filtration question
Hi,
I'm with Gazza on this one no real need IMO, dump into the vortex and purge from there.

Re: One I did yesterday
Hi Andy, One of the googles sites I was reading today (google DIY solar heating) mentioned that on good british winter days (no real sun) as long as the system was continously pumped to stop freezing (hence my heat exchange preference) they could quite effectively reduce the temp. of water by a lot ...

Re: One I did yesterday
Yep I did. But I came to the conclusion he was a nut case! Seriously, mad as cheese!! They should and do work in his case, it's just I use to fly model planes and remember the problems of balancing the buggers on a small scale so though this looked a bit dodgey. Specially as his first ones broke, th...

Re: One I did yesterday
Tictoc, Did a bit of reading on solar panels and I think your right about the heat exchange route. It seems on the DIY solar panels your get the best results using small bore copper tubing which isn't very expensive. But really to run this you would want a closed system with heat exchanger then you ...

Re: Certikin Skimmer
Hi there,
You may have sorted your overflow now? But here's a couple of pics of mine. I set the skimmer so that the top up line on the skimmer could be used as an overflow straight into my waste line you could easily as you suggested put a T on the inside to adjust the water level.
Regards,
Andy

Hi Graham,
I've used 22mm pipe in mine going into a 90deg bend with a load of Den Brevan to seal it. Works a treat!

Hi there Bob,
Do a search on google for glulam / gluelam beams. These are strong buggers and should work in the manner you need.

Hope that helps.

When I got mine I had to travel to the midlands! Watsons glass gave the best price by some way. I did have to buy a sweater as it was a lot colder up there LOL. They may be worth a shout if you havn't tried them already, but you will have to collect as their delivery will double the price of the gla...
