Bought a fish for $200 a month ago there, picked it up at his facility or should I say garage. It was dead within 4 days. If I had not paid for the fish already online i would have never have taken it, after seeing the conditions that they are kept in.
I completely agree with jsantoli about the...
Dave, i just changed the motor housing and impeller. If you simply twist the powerhead at the motor area it slides right off and you don't have to mess with where it is attached to the reactor.

Do you have a pressure valve, that tells you the water PSI?? How many GPD unit is it?? 20 min is a long time with no product. Sounds like a line is clogged.
If u catch him LMK how you did, am having the same problem and cannot catch him, have never regretted having a fish so much.
MAVL how did u build the trap of eggcrate?? Thanks
I would increase to a 20 gal water change and do it bi-weekly instead of monthly. Also what type of skimmer do you have, if you have one?? Do you have a refugium?? All this would help greatly.
