What is the bracket attached to the orange squeegee made out of? If they wont send you a new one i wouldnt think it would take much to trim a 1/4 inch off of the end so its not hitting the other side of the cup and to cut off an inch or so on the bottom and drill a new set of holes to secure the squeegee.

Again this would be a last resort if they cant send you a new one.

Yes, before modding it I thought I'd let them address the situation. I provided them with images and measurements to make sure it all fit.

I hear ya, better to get a factory fix first.

Oh that Blows Marc. That is pretty cool idea really , Puts it right back in the water coloum ? Well if it does not work you always use it the toilet bowl for cleaning.

So Marc, what I did with the ceiling over my tank was marine plywood, then sheetrock the rest of the room. This might help you in two ways. 1. Tying all the rafters together; 2. Giving you a good surface to attach to for things like rails, lamps, and other hanging stuff. I did it because I used rails and wanted to distribute the weight. I also hung a couple of my ballasts to cut down on vibration noise. It makes it very nice to be able to just screw in various components like power supplies, pump controllers, battery backups, etc. so I did some wall sections in ply as well.

You will need a bottle jack to get that lifted up for sure. Worked in Lawton with a guy who does all kinds of construction stuff and figures it all out himself. We straightened a sagging house roof where all the rafter supports had let loose with a bottle jack and a 2x6. We were doing the same thing on a commercial building he bought that had a flat roof with no drainage but used 6x6's and a 2x8 with a 2x4 nailed to it to make a lop sided "T". The roof was raised about 12" on one side all by hand and a couple 2x4 blocks to keep anything from falling all the way back down. Will have to take some pics the next time I go back down there.

Too bad about the wiping system not fitting, they should be able to get you a different blade though.

BTW interesting addition of some piratey lookin ships to the ReefAddicts Header

I once shimmed up a corner of the cabin I was living in during collage using a 20 ton bottle jack. Nothing like hydrolics for brute force!

The new swabbie squeegee and rotating arm are on their way.

Nice, I was looking around at their cone skimmer kit. . . looks interesting and 325 with a pump and swabbie. Just have to build it yourself over a couple days but that looks like fun.

I was suggesting one of those for Jessy's new tank. I'd like to get one to put together just for the fun of it. Maybe I should build a big sump, drop in three of those and retire the Euro-reef. LOL

Have you fixed your rafter/ceiling issues? If not, let me know I can help.....
