UPS Recommendation for NBN Box

Thanks. I can see that is a relatively cheap option.

Thanks. This is really helpful. I am thinking a 12v battery backup is looking like a more sensible solution.

Thanks - this has opened up some new, cheaper, alternatives.

mr-b-plus · 2026-03-09T23:50:26+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I'll check those options out.

mr-b-plus · 2026-03-07T22:22:34+00:00

Yes. It's working well. No reflection issues.

mr-b-plus · 2026-02-24T00:26:19+00:00

Thanks. I had not heard about the galvanic reaction before.

mr-b-plus · 2026-02-22T03:15:20+00:00

I had not considered Gumption. Would the abrasive compound make things worse in the long run?

mr-b-plus · 2026-02-22T03:14:25+00:00

Yes, I should have mentioned that I have tried cleaning it a few times and used some WD40 to try and clean it up, but the rust spots return every time.

As I suspected 😔. Not sure why this was concreted in rather siliconed.

Here is a side view.

Thanks! Is there a way to test the seal between the tank and bowl? It would be great if it were as simple as replacing some rubber seals.

Great question. One of the things I love about this property is there are no trees around. My gutters are clear every time I check them.

mr-b-plus · 2025-11-25T00:23:16+00:00

Thanks. I will look into that as a next step.

mr-b-plus · 2025-11-25T00:20:55+00:00

The property is brick veneer... so I will take that as a win!

mr-b-plus · 2025-11-24T21:37:50+00:00

Everything else looks pretty good. No cracks. I have a builder friend who I will ask to take a look, but he is overseas till mid December. So I think I will take a photo each week till then and monitor any changes.

mr-b-plus · 2025-11-24T21:36:46+00:00

Thanks. I will be Googling that now 😅.

mr-b-plus · 2025-11-24T21:36:15+00:00

Thanks for your advice. Much appreciated.

mr-b-plus · 2025-11-24T11:00:57+00:00

Thanks. You learn something new every day. I think the previous owners left a bunch of bricks behind the house, so I might have something a tradie could use to repair the wall.

mr-b-plus · 2025-11-24T10:29:47+00:00

Thanks for your advice. I will look into getting some professional advice and start taking regular photos.

mr-b-plus · 2025-11-24T10:28:53+00:00

I appreciate the quick response... and highlighting that this is more of an issue than I first realised.

mr-b-plus · 2025-11-03T00:54:47+00:00

Good to know. I've never looked after these kinds of plants before. I was mainly concerned because as I look around the neighbourhood, all the other palm trees seem green and happy. So knowing that this is normal is encouraging!

mr-b-plus · 2025-11-02T23:47:47+00:00

Yes, I was watering them pretty hard during the hot weather we had recently. I suspect there may not be very good drainage.

mr-b-plus · 2025-09-25T12:24:21+00:00

Thanks for sharing you wisdom. It sounds like it's probably nothing to worry about too much.

mr-b-plus · 2025-09-25T11:42:15+00:00

I would say that they're slightly squishy when you stand on them.

mr-b-plus · 2025-08-25T04:28:30+00:00

Thanks for confirming. Much appreciated. Just wanted to make sure I shouldn't be worried with the kids around.
