Plumbing

My return pump has chugged along for 1,815 days in a row, running 23.5 hours a day. Every night for about 30 minutes, the return pump is turned off while I feed the tank, then restarted once they've had their feasting period.

The Little Giant - OPGW-46, tired and wailing:


Over the past month, it didn't always want to restart. I tried spraying some silicone lubricant on the shaft, and chipped ...

Ok, I have two PC's lights but they are not the 50/50's, two whites on one and two blues on the other. My question is: Would you put the blues in front of the tank or the whites?

Now protein skimmer question: are you suppose to have any bubbles coming out of the return at all? Also, I still don't have much foam in the cup so I turned it up a little last night, thus creating some bubbles out of the return.

Thanks for ya help in advance!

hi all. i need to find a quieter return pump before the wife flips out. i'm running the little giant and it's a little less flow than i want, and way too loud. i can go to 1.5" intake. i'm looking for something that'll flow around 1700-2000 gph.
the snapper would be good but i would have to reduce the intake a bit. any ideas? panworld 200, gen x pcx-150.
thanks

so Im having trouble maintaining the temperature at 79 in my 55 gallon with 20 g sump with about 15 g of water in it. Im running 1 150 watt in the return section and 1 100 watt heater in the 2.5 refugium. and 1 100 watt heater in the overflow section of my sump am I better off having one heater or 2? or is more the better? should i have one in the tank?

I completly redesigned my sump and replumbed my whole system will post pics when its completly finished

Thanks ...

Some of you may or may not have heard the break apart of Euro Reef. The company actually split into two companys one of which is supporting the nano scene and the other "Reef Dynamics" the larger equipment.

If you need support for any Euro Reef products, http://www.reefdynamics.com is supporting them. Not all, but the common parts needed.

I have a RS250 Euro Reef that is being brought back to life, so I thought to share this tid-bit with everyone.
