    I found a threaded 90 elbow in my spare parts. Wc line should work out just fine once I get the appropriate sized bulkhead fitting...

    Thanks. 6 lbs, so it was $18. They weigh it & charge by rounding to the nearest lb.

    Need to go to the hardware store & get a 1 & 1/2" bulkhead. Then I need to make the false wall(s) around the OF box..then I can add in the sand! :)

    Hmm..I need a return pump still...& my skimmer.

    My LFS doesn't carry any salt except for the Instant Ocean & Reef Crystals. :-/ I've heard a bunch of people's orders were messed up on the RS Coral pro....buckets broken in shipping from FS Aquatics.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    What salt do you want? Nothing wrong with IO IMO, just check mag levels and adjust appropriately.

    The hardware store must see a lot of you lately.;D

    Nothing specifically wrong with IO RC...I just didn't really want to have to dose mag. IO has rather high calc levels compared to mag. Maybe I'll just go ahead with the the IO, then dose Seachem Reef Advantage magnesium.

    Reef Aquarium Care: Seachem Reef Advantage Magnesium

    They sure do. :) lol.

    :angry: I still can't find my drill bit!

    During the move things got all mixed up & I don't know what box it got put in, or even what room. I hate moving. :(

    Looks like it's coming along...A litttle slow, but better to take your time and do it right! Hope you can find the drill bit so you can keep it moving.
