I'm sure my nutrients are kinda high too. I like to feed the little beggers when I come to the tank and they look at me like Oliver Twist
 
My foxface is FAAAAT. he's like an inch thick and nowhere near full grown.
That's good.
My trigger is the same, probably would make a nice meal.
I prefer feeding a lot, watching them get fat.
 
Anyone running one pump for multiple uses/items/etc and how does it do and what is it?
I will be. My return pump is a reeflo hammerhead/snapper in the basement. I got the smaller impeller in right now. I want to tee off of it for a line off for a clown tank, I just gotta figure out how to plumb it so it won't drain my display into it

I think that helps prevent ich and other disease outbreaks. At the very least helps get them through it

how so? pump for multiples uses?
 
how so? pump for multiples uses?
I think he means, building a manifold and having your return pump also feed a reactor or something along those lines
 
how so? pump for multiples uses?
I'm running 4 pumps in the sump and I'd like to cut down on that.
I want a good one that actually works at high head but doesn't sound like a Volkswagen.

So don't get my pump haha. That said it'll do like 6,000 gph or something crazy like that and handle 30+' of head pressure
