I remember it was on Antique Roadshow on PBS. Here's a link for it:

I hope yours worth a lot.
All pieces will be $10 each. Some will be fresh cut some encrusted. I can mount them if needed.
Looking for a small bag of Kalk to make some paste to kill some polyps.

I want a red planet and I have a few things for trade. I will trade/pay for a piece of Cali tort as well if more is available. I have tyree fire chalice, SSC, war favia, green/yellow austera and other acros.
When you just setup there is a lot of debris in the water so not surprising socks clogged quickly. It will get better.
Switch to mesh socks 100x easier to clean and don't clog as easy.
One year old marineland reef ready tank. Minimum scratches but has plenty of coraline. Screen top. DIY stand (RC style) not skinned. Plumbing for the overflow.
Just think it will be a real PITA once your tank has been running and develop a leak.
I run a second pump with manifold. So only one extra outlet. It will be easier to manage than one big system.
Just a thought when you re-do your plumbing. Get rid of the manifold. Just a T to the returns. Much simpler and less gluing. You have a lot of joins in a tight space. Use flex. Easy to cut in place if you need to redo part of the plumbing. Use another pump for your reactor/refugium.
I tested this again and it works great. I have it setup so that it will email my regular email account and text my phone. My wireless carrier T-mobile provides an email for my phone number. When an email is sent it texts me.
Strongly suggest this setup if you dose with apex!
Now that I have a dedicated refugium I want make the most out of it.
Do you clean your refugium (besides removing overgrown macro) or let it grow wild? There are algae on glass now (not diatom).
Do you add pods to the refugium? I don't see a lot in mine. I have Cheato and some live rocks...
Mine have been working great. Never owned Vortech so can't compare. But the RW series pumps are better than the WP series. Wider flow and all areas of the tank are covered with nice flow. There is still dead spot but it's not a big concern for me. I am sure it can be better but I have no desire...
