I think one of my Yellow Tanks is passing an egg sack. Is it possible? If so I think that is cool. I wonder how many eggs it might pass and will they live?
OK if you had a to choose between a flow pump or a pressure pump for your return what would you choose. Here are the pumps and info.
Flow pump Blueline 40 HD-X External Water Pump 1" in and out 1270gph at 0 head 1080gph at 4ft of head. 130 watts.
Pressure pump Gen-X PCX40 3/4" in and out...
I got the Blueline 40HDX pump. I will have it tomorrow. I got it from Gary at Champion Lighting.

OK this is what I cam up with.

The Blueline 55HD on my skimmer runs VERY cool all most no heat to the touch. The back up Blueline pump that I am using for my return pump is the same way all most no heat. My Gen-X pump I got lot of heat.
