    The 120 I said would never happen

    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...

    Overflow advice Durso/Herbie

    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...

    Overflow advice Durso/Herbie

    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...

    Zoas shrinking/melting

    WTB ATO

    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...

    HOB Algae scrubber

    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.

    Eshopps preferred (or CPR) Its for a 40b Wilson, I saw yours and was seriously tempted to run it with one tube, but it may be 2-3 weeks before I'm back up in that part of Jersey.
