| Re: Lorraine's Rebuilding of 125 gal Tank Today was the day for installing the new prefilter from Lifereef. While I was at it I replaced the return flow tubing too. So, now I am down to 1 drain tube and 1 return tube. I wish I had installed it in the same location as the previous one, but where I put it makes for a straight shot to the sump. I also wish I didn't get the blue color. I thought it would match my blue background really well, but it isn't opaque and it really stands out! Hopefully with time it will become less noticable.
I get to hand over the title of Mrs. Flood-a-House to someone else. That old prefilter box sometimes would break the siphon when the power was turned off. No more (unless I am his first victim!) With the changes it sure seems like I have a lot of room in my sump! Circulation in the tank is good, even with one of the return flows removed. Cleaning of the sump itself won't happen until the real refugium gets added since I have to move it to get the refugium in.
Well, if you have been bouncing around on other forums, you also know that I acquired a few more items...
We had a pod party today, tons of them on the glass and then others delivered by mail. The real refugium tank will not be completed for a while, so I have a temporary setup for now. I got stuff from Indo-Pacific Sea Farms and overall I am happy with what I got.
My clown and anenome crab also had a welcoming party for everyone to meet their new anenome too! Even Bluespot came out to play! Hope I do good by him@!
