Sam's Oceanic 120 - DIY solutions

The three augers are glued into the tube? Or glued into place on the shaft? I assume they rotate.

Like the MKI, the top two stators are compression-fit into the tube so the whole assembly can be removed for cleaning/replacement/tuning. The only glue being used is PVC glue for the bottom PVC plates into the tube and epoxy for the RODI water input at the bottom; everything else is compression fit or hole & peg.
MKI motion (too busy todo for MKII atm):

Always ask for forgiveness later. I can't ask for forgiveness for another couple of weeks... I told her it was the last purchase until next year. She glared at me.

Notice what? I don't know what you're talking about.

Very cool projects. I'm going to have to go back to catch more of this. Kudos for your ambition and talent.

I have the plumbing parts.... I'm traveling in 6 days... So tempted to install the new Kalk stirrer and the frag tank but I'm gone for 14 days in 6.... I should wait till after I get back I suppose...
The tank has pretty much been on autopilot since I installed the ATOR and Kalk Stirrer so I'd hate to mess with that right before I go away.

Probably a trustworthy instinct there.

Wait. I remember the last time you installed the last kalk stirrer and trying to get it dialed in.
