Thanks honey!!
I was just thinking, I should have come out there today! What a day!

Re: Terry's 450g upgrade

OK! Everything is back up and running and everything is working great!

sheweeeeeeee!!!!

And I added in a "T" for the 450 to tap into. I would have had to do this in a month anyway so I'm relieved that it's done now. As it turns out, the tub wasn't leaking. I didn't have a good seal on one of the pipes coming down from the reef and it was leaking down onto the platform that the fuge tub sits on.

It's all good now. It's actually a LOT quieter in the basement now. I added in an extra 1 1/4" bulkhead in the fuge tub so it should be able to handle the flow when the 450 is up and running.

Re: Terry's 450g upgrade

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention something amazing. And I wish I would have gotten a picture of them but I didn't. When I transferred everything from the old fuge tub to the new one, I found the two cleaner clams that I had put in around 4 months ago. Both are alive and well. They grew a little bit but not that much. I was just amazed that they were still alive.

They are these guys:

Re: Terry's 450g upgrade

Terry in a couple of years you will be able to wade around in your refugium to collect clams and Patti can make chowder! Don't forget your waders and bucket!

Re: Terry's 450g upgrade

Hello everyone - I have a perplexing question for all of your computer literate folks out there - it's been driving me crazy on another forum I belong to!

You see underneath my user name - it says "tunicate" - how do I go about changing it? I have been told it is a "Custom User Title" and should be in Edit Profile - BUT - I cannot find it - usually I am not this "computer dumb"!! (Yeah right - now at least I know DH is laughing at me - hey atleast you smiled today!!)

I might not be right about this, but I think the board sets those according to your post count. If you become a "premium" or "contributing" member then you can set it to what you would like.

Hey, Terry... here's a GREAT idea! Put a whole bunch of those clams in your NEW 25,000g rubbermaid shark tank! Then you guys can have us over for a clam bake. Doesn't that sound FUN?
