i would like to change it to pipes..

more stable, more secure...

called up 3 places,

one quoted me $130, another $80, 3rd one have not gotten back to me..

are the quotes reasonable?

would like to ask,

should i do it myself??

but i dont know how to choose what kind of pipes,

glue it together.. etc etc..

main problem is the type of PVC pipes and size..

if you are willing to try, just do it urself. for sure, you will have more headloss lost from joints of PVC. so take note on that.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

yep 1 turn of pvc is estimated 1 ft of headloss so by going to ur uv ur chiller then main tank already quite small unless you get another

pump to run ur chiller and uv?? hmm :upsidedown:

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

Go pricing is high when he sells to reefers like us but when he sells the left over corals to other LFSes it is a totally different price already.

PROs,

i got a question.....

currently i'm actually relying on AZ NO3 to reduce my NO3...

thinking of adding biodigest...

any reviews on it?

can be used together with AZ NO3?

how effective is it?

how about achieving clean water...

bioclean or biodigest
