Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Hit Tom turkey with pickup windshield few years ago.
I remember that, I thought something new happened. They fly so low. I’ve had them fly across the street at windshield level. We have a lot of turkeys around.
 
Somebody else that understands the struggle I have!!! I think the answer is yes, but now I feel like waiting to see on the final Jeopardy question.
gate valves are more precise,easier to dial in ... :)
but more $...;)
 
Waiting on the plumbers of the group
I have the crack but I’m not a plumber. Two things I don’t chime in on is fish disease and equipment/ tech.

Thanks!
I have eshopps PF 300 - says max flow rate is like 340 or something like that. My return pump is rated as a 1600gph. Don’t you think this will be an issue. Attached current pics as plumbing references. IMG_2754.jpeg IMG_2755.jpeg IMG_2751.jpeg
 
@tbrown thanks for adding me to that giveaway. I doubt I’ll win anything, but I did a bunch of the things they said to do on it. I hope to get some money for Dr Reefs. I want to order some fish!
That's one of the easiest to win. So few people enter.
 
I tee it off and do a ball valve on the return line. I can open the ball valve to allow less water to return to the DT bringing my running water level down some or close it to bring the water level up. On the drain side of things you can use the valve to throttle some to decrease noise and air getting pulled into the sump.
 
Thanks!

i would also recommend a union and valve just above pump
 
Everyone have the best day you can.
Usually I miss most of the game because I'm at the restaurant so I may need some play by play.
Wish me luck and rock on today!
Still 0-0.
 
Now what do I do?
Sit back and enjoy the Super Bowl, it’s all you’ve talked about all week. You are the biggest football fan I know. You seem way more important with that new banner! I’ll stop commenting so you can watch the game!
