    Union fitting to barbed fitting

    Yea, I guess I can get another 1 inch union and buy the slip barbed fitting as you suggested.

    Union fitting to barbed fitting

    I’m missing that other part. I believe it should be a threaded piece that screws on to the union. This is for my Abyzz return pump. It is a Spears 1” union. The pump will connect to a 20 mm soft tubing.

    Union fitting to barbed fitting

    Hi, What adapter do I need to connect this to a 20mm (~3/4”) soft tubing? I believe it’s a union and I need to connect it to a barbed fitting? Not sure what I need to buy. Sorry I don’t know much about plumbing.

    Justin's Aquaforest Oceanguard 790

    I think it is under warranty but I just ordered the impeller online for faster TAT. Maybe I’ll file a claim later.

    Looking good. What profile do you run on the ATIs? I like SPS Plakativ +.

    Syncra SDC 6. This time I cleaned it with only water and scrubbed out the particulate matter since it wasn’t that dirty. It was my first time cleaning the pump at the 1 year mark. I’ve cleaned other equipment with citric acid if they are calcified.

    Main return pump (Sicce) impeller shaft snapped after cleaning the pump and turning it back on. I guess it wasn’t aligned properly somehow. Luckily, I run redundant pumps and I am running the other pump at 100%. I have bad luck when it comes to cleaning return pumps. My Abyzz A100 broke after...

    Dosing 2-part During the Photoperiod vs Evenly Over the Course of the Day

    Is ALK more stable overall if it is dosed during the photoperiod when consumption is the highest? I have always dosed during the photoperiod and not when the lights are off. Just wondering if dosing during night will benefit the tank. If dosed at night, I would be assuming there would be a...

    I like watching this guy's channel. He showcases coral and fish species in their natural habitat.

    Tank Parameters all over the place

    I would leave it in for a day and test it. You can always test it everyday for a couple of days to see if there are any changes.

    Tank Parameters all over the place

    And if you really wanted to confirm the rocks leech phosphate, you can put rock in a bucket with fresh salt water and mix the water. Test the water for phos.

    A new beautiful addition to the tank. Might be the last one. It is the biggest fish in the tank, measuring about 4”.
