I hear ya. I rarely buy from them and even that day I just went in for dog food.
I am taking them on to try to change their policies. I told them it's not about the refund anymore. If it makes them take care of these fish better it will be worth it.
I gave corporate a rash of you know what. they said they would look into it.
Today I got a call from the boss at that store. He told me they do acclimate 45-60 min and he never told his employee not to do it also the employee denied telling me that. >:( basically called me a liar.
sorry not getting it what are the holes for?
Are you saying the pipe goes all the way to the bottom and the sock fits inside the pipe? Holes are so it sinks to the bottom?
I thought I posted this somewhere but I cant find it.
Is there a good holder for duel lines in sump?
I heard the cpr and other one (cant remember) were pretty flimsy. I saw the diy one but wanted one that would be easier to change the sock.
I go into petco to buy dog food and see this very interesting fish. they were calling it a labott wrasse. had some very unusual color dark blue and deep red stripes running width wise down its body. the guy says he never got one in before as I'm watching him open more bags and just dumping them...
I'm going to switch sumps from acrylic wet/dry to 55 glass tank.
I want to keep my external pump but cant drill untempered glass.
has anyone ever run plumbing up and over into tank? I realize I would loose a little flow but my dolphin pump is pretty powerful.
Also wanted to add filter sock with...
I also bought the kalk reactor from group buy and have 2 timers one for stirring kalk. one for ato. although I love the automation, In retrospec I would just put kalk in ato bucket and call it a day. This is how I used to do it and I don't see a big change now that I have the reactor.
my experince is the chato grows under almost any light. I'm running a home depot clip light with no heat bulb 14 watts and chato is still growing like crazy.

if you fill a bucket in 60 sec. 60 gph. it took 2 min. thats 30 gph. that is why I asked if this was too slow but your saying thats good? I could tune it down even more.
2 sections cover the whole bottom of 48"x18" so each section is 24x18. would rather not add more pumps but are you thinking I should have 2 pumps on each section? (too much) or turn up the flow a little?
I only used one tube from each section 2 powerheads.
just did the gallon test. took 2 minutes to fill. is that too slow?
the pumps I'm using dont have a hole for intake so I wraped them with a piece of bonded filter pad. rubberband holes it on. if I could find a black sponge with a wide enough...
not really sure how to gauge 50 gph. mini jets can be adjusted from 20 - 106 gph. turned it half way up. the half inch tube fit perfectly over the outlet of the pump I used the caps that came with the ugf and after drilling 1/2" hole in the center of it. I ran the 1/2" tube into this up to the...
only reverse pump that I found looked like too much flow so I used 2 404 mini jets.
connected 1/2 inch tubing to the return then capped of the top of the main tube. drilled a 1/2" hole in it and passed it thru to 1" short of the bottom of tank.
seems to be working great adjusted flow half way on...
