Barb and clamp works w that stuff good too.
Good to know.
I always guessed that spa-flex was too stiff get a barb fitting in properly, but I like that it is pretty indestructible
and does not kink.

Also the flexibility is questionable it's pretty stiff

Like it was said before, there is a much life flexible version of spa flex, but it may not be trustworthy w pvc glue.

Hmmm.
Pressure only makes it leak ... faster.

Well looks like I'm getting chloramine break through again. My blocks lasted me a little over a year. Man goes to show always treat your ro water.

This could be the reason I'm slowly losing my sps.

So that is more reactors than I think I remember on the pump manifold.
You send the water through some in series?
Curios on the plumbing.

One manifold pumpsbto sulfur denitrator split off to ozone reactor. The ozone reactor then feeds the carbon reactor. The arid in series with the gfo reactor. The calcium reactor is run on the masterflex.

So 3.5 months of topping off with chloramine water and then doing massive water changes with bad waterthinking my parameters were off. Left a few of my fish with massive ammonia burns. My poor gem. I was finally able to trap him

Will need to nurse him back to health with antibiotics and vitamin enrich foods.

Hope he'll get to look like this again
