-Had pump running for a day with no leaks, but had to close up the old return hole at the overflow box. The deadrock has another 2 weeks in the bins before the rockscape begins, pretty excited about it.
-I'm currently using a spare surge protector since its only the return pump running. Since im not looking to keep high end corals in this tank, I was looking at controllers. The Neptune is all the rage but I doubt I will use half the features on it.
Can anyone recommend a cheaper controller for features like power usage, temp, ph etc, the more basic parameters to keep an eye on?
How often do you end up cleaning it, its a pain to reach in there so looking to get the strainer from BRS and not pushing it in all the way for easier cleanup.You should try to find or make intake guard for the primary drain just in case anything makes it in to the overflow. I zip tied knitting screen around mine.
