Even having it be 1 inch for vertical portion to the first elbow would be good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would keep it at 1 inch pvc as much as possible (or even greater straight out of the pump). I have a 3/4 inch manifold, started with M1, switched L1 and the L1 is really limited by the 3/4 diameter. If I turned it up any higher than 30% I would hear a whine. And when I switched back to M1...

Yes they can change color over time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Neptune’s will too, for store credit. In general you won’t get much - a fraction of what it’s worth. But if you don’t want to go through the process of selling, or need it gone ASAP, they’ll take it off your hands. In terms of price, it think it depends on the size. Might be hard to move a...

What the heck is a bean animal durso hybrid with a herbie drain? All three in one? I also don’t get why a bean animal mod will stick up higher compared to a herbie? It’s just an extra emergency standpipe but it can give you more leeway in terms of silent running. I debated whether to have...

I would definitely convert to a herbie, as I had a durso that just would not get quiet until I put a gate valve on it (which is kinda risky because there is no emergency). However instead of your return going over the top, just drill another hole at the top near the overflow. It’ll look much...

Lol, wow, your wife making us all look bad. I used suction cups and 4 guys for my 110g. Maybe straps ARE the way to go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hmm, it’s 250lb? Should really get those suction cups or a couple more guys. Doesn’t really look that big in the photo... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I can find some time to get away from the babies, I can help you. When are you around this weekend? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah that’s terrible. I would be devastated too. As I’ve gotten deeper into this hobby I’ve realized what an investment it is, in terms of time, money, space, mental attention, life sacrifices, etc. The more you want to have safeguards and redundancy, the more this hobby will gobble up (qt...

I’d have to get pretty lucky to make a weekday in June. I have two days off, so let’s see if it lands on one of those days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Too bad there’s nothing like berghia nudibranch for majanos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think this question also depends on what sort of livestock you have in the tank, and how quickly you’ll be able to react to failures. For instance if you have a lot of expensive sps, and other high end (ie expensive) corals in the tank, then a return pump failure can be a bigger deal. Also...

ORA Red Planet is a named coral. It is a red tabling acropora. So this may or may not be a red planet, but it should be red and having a tabling growth form. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I’m digging the double return. Will probably try to do that next build. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They start to lose par and shift spectrum. You could monitor with par meter or some report an outbreak of nuisance algae with the spectrum shift. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Either say Aussie or “not sure, they all get mixed together at the wholeseller.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you. That’s very generous. I don’t believe I’ve ever heard that color has anything to do with sourced location. I’ve seen different colors from both locations. But a gold tipped one is more rare and beautiful. Best of luck keeping it. It can be a tricky coral, but one of my...
