You might want to look into TRUE UNION BALL VALVES instead of having separate unions with valves near them. I use them extensively in our setups,...
To be honest, we cherry-picked ours from one of the wholesalers, the fish were pale, and about the size of small damsels, but the price was "right"....
We maintained a trio for several years, and they were really great fish. Great eaters, and altho they do have a few conspecific hierarchy squabbles,...
Yeppers...it's a cast-off shrimp cuticle.
The water is now SW, the leaks have been addressed, both the mains and the CL's are working fine. Next on the list: Washing substrate, finalizing...
Why not drill the tank yourself and add a DIY overflow?

Terry Crews is freakin' HILARIOUS...I watch the Wayans Bro's "White Chicks" quite often just to see him...
You're in the minority if you SH made it thru a temp spike like that with no symptoms. The thing about SH being found in warmer water in the wild is...

Figure that your O/F is probably rated at 600 gph, so... Eheim 1260 (650 gph): Great, quiet pump, not real cheap tho. Sicce Syncra Silent 3.5 (660...
If you have a std. 55 gal, a 20L (30" x 12" x 12") SHOULD fit underneath it...is your 55 gal the std 48" x 13" x 21" dimensions? I know this because...

Look like green button polyps, which are a type of zoanthid.
Is the O/F single or dual standpipes? What diameter (ID) is the standpipe(s)? What are you planning on keeping in the tank? Will you be running a...
