I used Teflon paste recently on my overflow, 3 joints, hand tightened then a little snug up with channel locks and no a single leak. Food for thought next time you plumb? Might be better or i might just be an awesome plumberHome again. It's 3am, time for sleepy sleep. What did I accomplish?
1. No leak in the return.
2. No leak in the return!
3. Didn't turn off the return pump when I left--feel like I can sleep with it running now
4. Murdered Aiptasia. There are so many more to go...
5. Transferred some of the sand bed corals to the new tank including: big trachy, big pectinia, both plates, tall gorg, acan, dendro, lobo, two of the koji wadas and a salvaged piece of red setosa.
Tomorrow:
1. Rest of the tank, maybe?
2. Set up Minnow doser?
3. Set up ATO?
4. Leave it running over the weekend
Gettin' there!
Amazing when you think that was a $5 chipped off piece of a pectinia I got from a local in early 2023:Dude, is that your space invader pectinia? things getting beefy.
also, that sand is looking a little full. some of those should migrate over to my tank.
Yup, my two eyed willies are still in there along with the rest of the cuc. Pitho crab too. They'll have to make it till Monday. Left the Helio heater and the gyre running for them, though.That sand will settle,look for coral ,and cuc tomorrow...![]()

@JoJosReef Do you have 2 or 3 drain lines?ok the 2nd drain pipe (in the center without the filter piece on it) seems a wee bit too tall to me. Is that the 2nd or the emergency pipe?
edit nevermind. it is the emergency drain. so the third hole in the overflow you have plugged. any chance you can turn that into a secondary drain? have 100% flow through your primary 50% through the secondary and none through the emergency?
Use this method and you won't have leaks.Fixing the return...

Time to crank it up!
Break down and sell! Also probably selling the Evo, although I'm debating keeping it for an observation/hospital tank.What are your plans for the 40 post transfer?
Dang, I wish I were closer! I'd buy the 40 from you!Break down and sell! Also probably selling the Evo, although I'm debating keeping it for an observation/hospital tank.
