Same - but always been tat way for me.

We need some green circle action. And I know the pull-down menu graph unsent, but pressing it does nothing.

I think it’s just old tech,both my iPhone and iPad are old. Need to test on laptop when I get ho,e.
 
Happy Papa’s Day!

To all the men who take on the role, whether directly or indirectly; who show up daily as an example of what being a Father, and ultimately a man should be.

Love ya Smorgasbord Men!

Oops got my people confused sorry about that.

lol I’m still working on it. I have to go by buckets so water changes are a lot of work. I figured I’d just scrub the sump since it’s about 20 gallons, and refil with fresh. Let that be my waterchange this week. It was pretty gross too. Lots of vermintids.
 
lol lemme tell y’all what I did.

So I have the Eflux return pump on this thing. I love it. Great pump. Anyhow it was due a cleaning. So since I tore down everything I went ahead last night and unscrewed the screws. I did discover some rust behind one of the screws on the inside (where it doesn’t have a nut, just a metal bar to screw into) anyhow I don’t think it’s getting in the system.

But y’all. I disassemble the whole thing, cleaning the gunk and everything paying close attention to the impeller.

I put it back together, making sure to tighten the screws all nicely.


Then I see I left the dang impeller out :grinning-face-with-sweat:

Anyhow here’s the pics with the rust. I cleaned it all up. You can see it’s just there and not inside so I hope it’s still good. I don’t have the cash to get a new return.

HOW IMPORTANT ARE FISH TO MAKING A REEF TANK FEEL COMPLETE?

  • Essential! A reef needs fish movement and personality

    Votes: 8 50.0%

  • Very important, but one or two fish may be enough

    Votes: 3 18.8%

  • Optional... a coral-only reef can feel completely finished

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • I actually prefer a coral-and-invertebrate-only system

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • It depends on the tank’s size, style, or purpose

    Votes: 3 18.8%

  • I’ve kept a fishless reef (details in the comments)

    Votes: 1 6.3%

  • Well...it's complicated... (answer in the comments)
