You will be fine. However. If your inclined to change it. Two 45s although better Does not hold a candle to a sweeping pre-bent 90. Not necessary but almost completely prevents any restrictions
love this Big Bubble Baby we picked up from Danger Dave so much. I just had to share it. Great coral Dave. Thanks again for allowing us to be it’s new caretaker.
Simply put I am certain you can do it. There are a thousand of them out there. And there are a lot of beautiful hardy coral systems. But I would definitely rely on as much automation as possible. I say go for it. And consider among all things some sort of UPS. Don’t know where you work. But a...
