I have an Aqualifter pump attached to remove air from the siphon

So, it appears my tank is mixmatched glass. The side panel closest to the sump is NOT tempered glass, if I am doing the test right. I compared it to what I saw looking through my glasses which I KNOW are tempered, and another glass panel that I use as a top that is also tempered. The LCD screen...

If the tank overflowed in that back corner, it would contact the outlets. The return line is toward the front, about 18” away from the outlet. If a fitting started leaking, it would drip on the floor instead of on the outlet box. If I relocated the spa flex from the overflow to the most direct...

It does. I was trying to avoid going above the electrical outlet

Single 1” drain

I recently built a large sump for my mixed reef tank in my science classroom. I have a CPR CS100 overflow, 1" spa flex lines, and a reef run 5500 return pump. The overflow/sump input has a ball valve (soon to be replaced by a gate valve). The return line has a check valve just above the pump...

That is a long drive from Santa Cruz. I will be passing through on 12/27. Are you around that day? Mahalo!

Finally got my sump running this weekend! Can’t seem to get a stable water volume in the return chamber. So, the ATO is basically ornamental right not. Going to try lower pump settings throughout the week. The reefmat is gurgling air bubbles. I suspect it’s from the design of the CPR overflow box?

Do you still have some of this macro available? I would love to add it to the refugium in my classroom tank!

Yep, mine are tempered.

I considered that. But, I am SUPER nervous about trying to drill tempered glass in a running aquarium

SLV Charter, yes

How are your phosphates? I've been using GFO to help keep phosphates under control. I have an extra media reactor you can have if you want to start using GFO.

So, I decided to start a tank log. I have had this reef tank in my classroom for 5 years. Four times I have had to break the tank down, move it, and set it up again. This year I changed to a new school. Hopefully I have moved this tank for the last time! I also had a 75gal reef tank at home. I...

Hey, fellow HS science teacher here! I keep a 75g reef in my classroom. I just completed some upgrades. I have a Jaebo powerhead you can have. I also have a nice Kenya Tree softie you can have. They are very hardy. I have some Candy Cane lps coral I’m willing to donate as well, also quite hardy...

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback!

Aloha! I am setting up a sump for my 75 gallon mixed reef tank. Given the location of my tank and sump, I decided to go with Schedule 40 1" Spa Flex pvc hose. I have done a lot of research that says it glues into schedule 40 fittings like normal hard PVC. However, when I dry fit the parts, the...

What is the FV tank in Los Altos? Mahalo!

I have a beautiful brittle star that needs a new home. This guy has learned how to fish! He requires regular direct feeding to keep your fish safe. I learned the hard way. I would prefer to move him out of my reef tank to a new home.
