Big thread edit. Complete re-write... Have 2 big 'dwarf' sea hares. They're so ugly they're adorable, in a slimy monstrous way. As most shop dwarf hares I've seen are tinyish, I picked up 2 to raise them for a bit on algae and nori, adopting one out when it got a bit larger. They arrived full...

OK. I'll build it once the monster tank is done. Gonna LED this ^&^$%&^#^%$& up and paint pinstripes on it. And those LEDS were. as expected, garbage. I now have much more powerful LEDs on hand. Like the kind that is really bright if you look at it and if your friend says 'close your eyes' and...

I thought about the return to the swirls from the overflow, but the limited real estate inside the overflow limits options to smaller pumps, which defeats the purpose of the swirls. My thought of the return before the skimmer is to restrict the flow through the skimmer. Initially I figured I...

'Money tree in reef hobby is not what you seek. Need money forest you do.' - Confucius impression of Yoda at Reefapalooza 592BC Nice tank, great price! If I wasn't tackling the new monster I'd be picking this up as a display fragger.

We are now here...

Thanks for that. Wasn't thinking when i built the manifold. Restarting :)

Very nice. I keep trying, but most stuff I make tends to end up looking like a kids gold painted macaroni and macrame project.

J, Good suggestion and I went to follow it. NOne of the stores woud actually bend the conduit for me. I was going to pick up a bender (heh), use it and return it, but then I couldn't find any decent cap offs for the conduit ends. The successful but meh hanger project Episode 1.0: It'll work...

OR, what about stealing the water for the swirls back before it gets to skimmer? Something like... Still would appreciate thoughts on Durso/HErbie combo or just Herbie, as well as thoughts on above 2 plumbing options for flow.

Just like a craft brew!

If the Herbie will handle the 1200 that great, I'll go that way. Per 1200gph, the problem is I'm running seaswirls that are powered from the sump return. I may add a manifold to decrease flow through the 3/4" returns and increase flow through the swirls, then I think I'd be able to dial back...

So I have 2 downpipes, 1", in the new tank. Never had 2 before, trying to figure out what to do. I'm confused on flow, so I ask for advice. The return from sump to tank will be split between 1 or 2 pumps and will be supplying 2x 3/4" returns as well as 2x 1/2" seaswirls, so I'm going to have at...

Thats a stoma. If you want to get rid of them I'll take them off your hands by the dozen. :)

Sorry, by current leak I meant voltage. I had a prob a few years back that was caused by a malfunctioning heater putting electric current/voltage into tank, I had been mysteriously losing zoas. Just a thought. There are a number of vids out there on how to test. Basically a voltmeter, an outlet...

Current leak/stray voltage?

I did a bit of research on 'simple' ATOs and found this... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NC9DPR9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Seems to have good reviews on many sites. I set it up on a 40 nano and have been messing with it trying to stump it or make it screw up to no...

Looks like an 800, that should be groovie. Got cash or trade stuff, dropping PM. :)

Dude! No worries. Life. It happens. This is a place we chat and share the hobby when it gives us a second or two.

Zombie thread. Never moved further forward with this as simply hanging a scratched up screen anywhere under light seemed to work well enough. I actually still have the filter, if you’d like it to give an experimental build a go its yours.
