Self-described plumbing guru wrong priceless. She was telling me and another plumbing lady that we where getting the wrong parts. The lady helping me got me to the right product quickly. Other lady said we where getting the wrong part. Showed her @Bulk Reef Supply website and said I need these. She said good luck getting them on. Smh.

When we were plumbing the dual system, I think we had two runs per tank per day which is mostly my fault because I kept proposing changes to the layout mid -build..
Wanna come help plumb? , All the tanks are coming up, sumps n tubs stayin in basement...:beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Well folks crap has done hit the fan. Us springfield reefers are taking it in the shorts. Power has been off for 24hrs and likely for up to another 48hrs.

I have battery powered air stones in the 90. The qt and swamp is being handled manually.

Southern part of dirksen was torn up. From dmv to srgt peppers.
Husband thinks, something landed. All that side, those phone poles are broken!

We're alright. We were driving smack dead at the start of it. That storm swept in fast and hit like a monster.
I seen it hit springfeild and I was in decatur. Was almost to a customer's when it hit.
