    This one definitely was. It was free. ;)

    But I can tell you I don't think I will ever buy any other brand pump again. These are incredible and the flow they put out is phenomenal.

    It looks as though I'll need to build a snail guard for the over flow box. Just had a large nerite slow the siphon by venturing into a bulk head.

    Rats, they are sneaky. I have a piece of plexi over mine just laying on top. Hasn't been moved since I put it there except by me.

    Why are the most simple solutions sometimes beyond my grasp?:-/ LOL Thanks for making that so easy.

    If you have any of the mesh used to make the screen tops you can zip-tie a piece to the pipe end so they can't get through. :).
    Pipe surfing fish are always a good time! Lol

    I cut an old sump, the one that I got in this deal actually, to make a cover. I do have quite a bit of the 1/4" nylon mesh though to build anti jump screen. I had the window screen frame kit but set it on top of the car and drove away. Lost that one. LOL

    I stopped by a friends house to pick up a couple of his reefing books. I'm asking J. Sprung to sign them for him when I get the chance during MACNA. They are the Coral ID and Invert ID hardcovers. I don't know, they are nice books and may end up "lost". Heehee ::)

    Anyway I asked him "What are you going to do for me?" and he said I could have a couple frags. Anything from his tank but when it came down to it anything was limited to a brown digi and a piece of red cap. My original picks were a piece of Idaho grape monti and a branch of green slimer but apparently they are higher in value than aquiring Sprungs autograph. ;D And Nate, if you have an account on 3reef I'm not aware of...I'm only kidding and love ya brother ;D :p

    Random bonus shots~

    Another relic from the 46 that was split up and sold or moved to the 90. Brought this back because it was losing 3 mouths. They are a little deflated now but look good most of the time.

    I carved a hole in that brain skeleton (did you know they are hollow inside? I didn't) and glued the war coral to it in hopes it will over grow the entire piece.

    I also reached a milestone today. I finally broke down and ordered some LED's from Rapid. I'm going to supplement/boost the halides by modifying the fixture and adding 10 royal blue and 4 cool white's with 55* lenses and dimmable driver. They will replace the T5 actinics.
