Your overflow determines the size of your return pump. I have a 90 gallon with a 1500 gph overflow, and for years used a MAG 9.5. MAGs aren't good pressure pumps and the 9.5 would most likely work with a 700 gph overflow. If flow was too high you could always put a valve in line or tee off...

I have a 20 Tall tank and stand....for free.....in Sayreville.

You can try putting a "pod motel" into the 40 for a couple days and see how many move in. What has worked very good for me as a pod motel is what I call a bath scrunchy.....looks like this and cost a couple bucks. Maybe putting some flake food in the scrunchy to see if it helps draw in...

FYI, it's by appointment only and can be set up with @hcker99 .

Looks like some variety of Colt Coral......Cladiella Sp.

Never concerned about the delivery tubing....either a polyethylene, silicone, PCV, polyurethane, fluoropolymers, etc., which can easily handle ethanol and acetic acid. I was more concerned about the peristaltic pump tubing. I found out that this tubing was Santoprene tubing, which is about...

Joe, I still dose DIY NOPOX and actually have it set up with a dosing pump: I think what you're seeing is a bacterial bloom. Did you start slow? What is suggested for starting dosing is to start slow....reverse of their suggested dose levels. That is, start with 1ml per 25 gallons for a...

As long as you washed it down with a Guinness or two, you still should be OK. Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

I don't know what happened to my photo above of Grilled Firecracker Salmon....here it is again:

The best!!! Grilled Firecracker Salmon

Is this something Weld-On can fix. It makes acrylic one again. Otherwise, if it helps, I have a 20 tall glass aquarium you could have for free....in Sayreville. Also have a 55 for free, but assume that's a bit too long.

I respectfully disagree. It really depends on how you prepare them. Here are a few recipes: How to Cook Leeks :):):):):):):):);) Glade to see you're getting back into the game Ed.

Painful? It is a true sign of your girly manhood. The doctor steps out looking like a Borg from Star Trek with the needle in his hand. Here's a picture of my doctor about ready to give me a shot in the ear drum. Those special glasses allow him to see up close so that when you go back...

Hey Paul, get that ear checked out. Right when covid was hitting, I lost hearing in my left ear. As the line goes in Christmas Vacation, "You couldn't hear a dump truck driving through a nitroglycerin plant." I ended up going to an ENT and found out I had Sudden Deafness....yep, it's a...

I'm here too Paul, but I was busy getting my Lavender therapy from a supermodel. :oo:

I hope your new O-rings fix the problem, but I'll go back to my post above....alignment and joining faces not sitting flush. Please keep us posted.

Just curious, was the glue up of the plumbing done with the valve all screwed together as one piece?

Now seeing this picture, here's my guess....your O-rings are just fine. I think your mating surfaces of the union aren't sitting flush. The reason is all that rigid pipe AND what appears to be a metal strap/clamp just below the valve. This clamp could be torquing the alignment of the union...

Agree, hand tightening should be enough. Definitely NOT vaseline. From HD, plumber's grease as long as it's silicone based. I personally use Leslie's Pool Lube....one tube is a lifetime supply.
