How do I stop :uzi:corline alge from growing all down the front of my tank? The tank is not glass so I don't want to ues a blade on it. The tank is a 150 reef and the alge is starting at the 2 foot down mark, hard to get to:silly:

To ansure your question "Do they make them that big" Yes. I have 1 1/2 " lines and put see thru check valves in to stop back flow, also have holes just below the water line as a back up to a stuck check valve. Look at Aquatic Eco-Systems web site for the valves.

I'm wondering if one can keep Brittle/Serpent stars with clams. I know starfish will eat clams. Are there any reasons I can't put clams in with serpent stars?

I've always had them in my tanks never a problem

I ran 2 Quite one 4000HH internal pumps, the heat was just to much. I replaced them with a Dolphin Amp Master 3000 Quite and no heat in the tank

Thanks for the info I would guess my flow rate must be 1200 to 1400 total. I was told if you split the 1.5 output of the AM3k into 1" lines you'd lost 40% but I think the loss is more like 20% do to the "T" in the line.

Does anyone know the flow rate of a one inch bulkhead overflow? I have 2 of them on my 150 and just installed a Dolphin Amp Master 3000 pump. The control ball valve is little more than half open and I'm wondering apx flow rate. The overflows drop straight into my sump. But there are Druso (sp)...

I did the bucket thing for about 6 months then found Python worth 10 times the money I paid for it and more

Check out the store in Hayward The name doesn't come to me right now but it's on Foothill about a block north of A Street

I have 2 as returns on my 150. There great very quite, But will heat up the tank if you put them in the sump. Even out side of the water there heaters.

I have a 150 with 2 overflows and run 2 Quite one 4000HH pumps. I like running 2 pumps the lines are split by a ball valve incase one of the pumps dies. The flow rating is something like 1400gph I think

Here is what I have 150 gal reef with 2x 1" overflows a 30 gal sump. In this sump are 2x the new type 4000HH Quite one pumps. I'm pumping to 5' with each pump going to one side, I do have all pipe hooked together with a ball valve incase of one of the pumps dies. I think total flow is about 1200...
