    Help I need a new return pump on my 180 Gallon reef

    Normally that is true, but the Blueline series (also marketed under a few other names including Posieden) have a good rating, but are know heat adders. I just picked this at random, but look at the note from Marie Depot on it...

    Help I need a new return pump on my 180 Gallon reef

    The only problem I see is the Blueline series, while very quiet and good power useage, heat the water up quite a bit.

    drilling project

    Becase the output is under water so far down, and along an extended, it would take very very powerful pump with lots of head pressure to get the water out. The depth here is working against you. There is also no way to protect all of this from running back into the sump on shutdown.

    Reccomendation on a skimmer

    I have owned AquaC 120 & 180, ASM G4, and Bermudaaquatics 3C. I would never buy another ASM. I love my Bermudaaquatics 3c the best, but the AquaC 120 is a good value based on price performance.

    Thanks everyone, Aquarium Center in Blackwood did have the impeller and at a reasonable price. My skimmer is now very happy again.

    Mag 7 Impeller

    Haven't heard that, but I have seen better pressures at a much lower wattage. A 1260 @ 630 GPM, has more ooooomph that a Mag 7 @ 700 with less wattage.

    Mag 7 Impeller

    Thanks Carlo, but if I can't find one locally today, I am just going to buy a whole new pump, then order a impeller and keep the old pump as a spare. Might be a good time to make the switch to Eheim. The Bermuaaquatics skimmer really likes the Mag 7, I have a old Rio 12HF on it for today and...

    Mag 7 Impeller

    Anyone know a place in South Jersey I can pick up a replacement Mag 7 impeller. Not had good luck lately, broken 2 in the last 3 months. Time to get out of the mag 7 business :P, but my Bermuda Aquatics 3C skimmer loves it.

    Aquacontroller Program

    Programming isn't that hard, but order is important as the way the AC series evaluates the statements. Lacking a true programming language "AND" and "OR" statement, you have to get creative, but there are a number of ways to do it. If you get stuck, there are lots of here that use it, and some...

    Suggestion-

    Hey Rich, Randy Holmes-Farley article I included above is considered universally to be the accepted recommendations for water parameters. Most other web forums cut the table out and post it.

    Check Valve?

    Install a Ball Valve on the intake and return, then you can do whatever you want including fine tuning flow.

    ATO Pump

    That a great device since you can plug anything you want into it. Now you jsut have to find the pump that is going to work for you. MAXIJET 1200 might make it up there (Slowly), since you aren't worried about flow, since you are just refiling. MAG 5

    Dedicated circuit breaker

    Tha answer will depend on if there is any blank space in your circuit box. If there is a blank space available, then running a brand new 20 amp circuit with 12 gauge wire is the best. Fishing the wire is the longest time killer, so if you can find the shortest path from the box to where you...

    Check Valve?

    As a failure item goes, check valves are right up there. They get salt clogged easily, and they reduce pressure. You get a real false sense of security. A simple way to make sure you don't drain too much water back into the sump is have a couple of small holes in the output line just under the...

    Clowns will host anything

    My clowns have decided that they are bored hiding in the rocks and have decided that hosting in something you can hide in is fun. For size reference this pom-pom Xenia is 8 inches across by 16 inches high.
