    Recently went with 1.5" pipe all the way on the return.
    WOW- had to turn my DC12000 pump down a setting, and it still is now flowing more thru the sump than the 1" did on the highest setting.

    I'm also trading off two large colonies of Palys (there will still be some random straglers though.) for some pieces of dry rock.
    Trying to thin the herd some before my 180 transfer.

    I cleaned the glass some, the fine scratches that get algae growing in them.

    Cleaned up a few things.

    And....

    I hange the angle of my WP40 about 90 degrees! So now the flow is basically reversed in most of the tank. I still have 3 other powerheads, 2 MJ's w/ fan head, and 1 Koralia.

    I think everyone is liking it! My livestock I mean

    glad your coral are recovering...quick off topic question, what substrate do you use? Whenever I move my WP25 around a bit I get sand dunes on my 55. Btw took your advice on those jebao wp25 powerhead and it's great! Wish I didn't spend the money on my Sicce return pump to get the dc9000.

    Well yesterday I moved our frag tank to tie in with our 120 got it set in place and plumbed up. But I threw my back out about half way through the process and it really slowed me down. Just gotta fill up with water today and make sure no leaks and hopefully will be good. And off to chiro to get put back in place haha

    Yes, I have a wp40 in my 125 now, and another in a box- that will be going in my 180g. I plan to just use the 2 x wp40's in the 180, and no other powerheads.
    For the price, they are awesome

    2 x 120 evergrows, and you added a mp10? What size tank?
    Are you aware of the WP 25's, or 40's?
    these Evergrow lights get real close the spectrum of the RadionPro IMO.
    the ones with multi colors and dimmers that is.- Oh, I'll probably catch he!! for that comment!

    Great light, I'm getting 2 more ASAP, so I'll have 3 on my 180, and get rid of the 2 color/no dimmer ones I have now.

    I hope your back in better soon. I'd give it time, Ibuprofen, heat, and stay away from Crackypracters. Just my personal, professional, humble opinion- No offense to chiropracters btw.
