Thumbs up ASM G3 earning it's keep!

Beautiful work on the aquascape !

Will that not harm the pump ? I also have about a thousand gph going thru the sump and a filter sock is a must to get rid of those annoying micro bubbles !

Re: ~Woody's 120 Escapade~

Harm the pump? Eeek! I hope not. I thought pumps could handle back pressure

Maybe I'll open it back up all the way and wait for the micron socks??

Back pressure shouldnt harm the pump but it will be working a bit harder(its the equivalent to pumping to a higher elevation or a smaller diameter pipe) but a better way to do it would be to increase flow on a recirc line or in your case to the fuge Youre growing chaeto and chaeto likes to tumble!
