The concern of turns in pipes is increased friction slowing down the flow. Trickle drain does not handle much flow at all unless main drain is completely blocked off. I’d just make sure between main and trickle drain，the one with lesser flow capacity can handle the draining job all by itself...

Sure. I will keep it for you. If you put down back seats, you only have 44” clearance from front seats to the back of the car?

Yes that works.

Jeff, It will be wonderful if this stand will be used in a classroom! Yes I am avail late afternoon and evening today. Length: 50 1/4” (including the overhang on the top surface) Width: 24 3/4” Height: 30 1/8”

Jeff, Photos of the stand attached. I live in Fremont (94539), close to Fry's. The only constraint of this stand is the maximum foot print of sump that can fit in the front doors is 29"x17". A shorter but deeper sump may fit in too.

Jeff, I have a 4’x2’ wood stand, well build, for free, if you want it. It was from my previous 120g setup.

I‘d say no. That is a lot weight stressing your body and tank itself. I’d take this as an opportunity to clean tank and re-arrange stuff.

Oh. I thought phosphorus and phosphate are the same thing! Noted.

Good to know. I will steer away from siporax then. I like to get a hanna checker for phosphate, but unsure which of the 3 is right: unltra low, low or high? I do not have sps. My goal is to confirm if there is excessive nutrient. Thus thought high range checker will be best in my case? But...

@scuzy I will test for phosphate this weekend, which I think indicate my nutrient level? I do get skimates and some hair algae - that implies nutrient, right? @Vhuang168 If my system is still changing, isn’t better using water changes to buy time for it to mature/stablize, instead of chasing...

So I plan to follow Triton method in this new set up. It has been running since Sept. 15th, no caroline algae yet. Chaeto in the sump, under H380, has not really grown much. Actually first batch of chaeto I put in early Oct were dying off. In last week, I noticed some zoas seem to be thinning...

I read some where that Marine Pure may leach something into water? There is another brand (dont remember its mame) that might be better). I am thinking what to do too.

I may have to pass this time around then. My quarantine tank has had the corals from the swap for 3 weeks now. I am thinking to move them into the display tank in another two weeks. I assume that if I add more corals I will have to reset the clock of quarantine?

Roostertech, Any risk od disease or pests? If none, I can hold ur frags in my new CDA 150. I like also to try an orange monti frag myself. Julius

Being a rookie, I only have low end corrals to offer. I assume they are not DBTC worthy?

I use same ato in my IM 20 setup. Recently noticed water level occasionaly (but not always) is at 2mm above the lower tip of the two sensors. It used to be always right at the tip. Wonder if this is failing. I did a vineger cleaning weeks ago, dont seem to have stopped the issue. Did u...

Anybody knows where to buy replacement tubing for bubble magnus doser’s heads? I found online at $15 for 3 short segments. Hoping somebody figured out inexpensive generic alternatives? I also noticed air leaking into the clear tubing. What size and materials of tubing do u use? Do I need...

I want more police action and tougher laws. I will ask my 16 year old to read this thread.

I tried gel super glue from hardware store before but found ic gel performs better in that ic gel stays in form better and does not release as much of a thin layer of glue when it hits water.

I clean brute can once a year. Power washer, then shop vac to suck the loose deposit out. Probably no real benefit to clean it.
