    Temporary housing for Goby/pistol shrimp pair

    I just pulled my pair from my sons tank transfer. Once I had the rocks out he went peacefully. And right a rain they found each other quickly in the new tank. Porcelain crab was not so easy.

    The 55 is going bye bye.

    It's well worth the drive everyone. You will not find a better deal in this hobby, period. Top notch corals if I might say so. Pete you could have the montly meeting up there. Lol.

    Temporary housing for Goby/pistol shrimp pair

    Any type of container would work. Go grab one of those plastic ziplock containers and put a little sand and rock like you said. Chances are though some of that sand is going to end up outside of the container though.

    TanksNStuff's 75G to 120G Upgrade

    Not sure of the brand tank. With corner overflow I'm guessing either marineland or deepblue. I'm pretty sure they both make overflow covers. I had an aqueon tank and found the cover on eBay. Well made and I think it cost me like $10 shipped.

    TanksNStuff's 75G to 120G Upgrade

    I would go with Paul's recommendation on the overflow. You def don't want to paint it though. I did on mine and scraped it off a few days later. Go with the black plexi or if you want it thinner go with the static cling black backgrounds found in most pet stores. I would also make some kind of...

    There is a carbon calculator on BRS site. Put in you water volume and type of carbon and it will tell you how much to use.

    Here is mine Pump feed from the right. Then I have three 1/2" valves for reactors and such. Then two 3/4" valves. One for frag tank and one for refugium. Then the left is only to allow air to escape after the the main pump is shut off and on over time.

    Right How many things do you need operate off of the main pump?

    I'm not sure I understand. Either way each "feed" off the manifold should have some type of flow control. As long as it does you have control how much water moves through it. One return could be 6" away and another 4ft as kind as you have a valve you can turn down the one that 6" away allowing...

    Yep. Without them that will be the waters least resistance. You will get next to no flow out of the other valves.

    Dan's 150 Rebuild

    Two things I notice. You need valves on the two return lines. You will need those to dial them back to be able to get flow through the other ports. Second, and it's kind of in conjunction with the first. Without valves you will still have higher flow going through one side the the other. My...

    Dan's 150 Rebuild

    Not longer but because it goes through the manifold he is having way more head loss so really same effect or worse. You could do this. You ultimately want the water to trace the same distance with the same loss. Or you need to use valves to achieve what you are looking for. I will add...

    Dan's 150 Rebuild

    Actually no. No real difference. The return line splits but has an equal distance to travel to the outlet. While I can't see yours I willing to bet the the distance from pump to outlet on the stronger flow side is less then the distance to the weaker flow side. The is probably some extra head...

    iPhone typo I didn't want to answer for Brando but I was saying that is flow from the pump. But after looking again I don't think it is.

    Not to step on toes but that for be flow from the pump.
