Unless it calls for 1" pipe, you should probably leave it at 1/2" - if you take it up to 1", then your headloss is going to be even greater as there's much more water that the pump has to push up...

Good stories are always fun :p

Yeah, I do need to upgrade - and I took another step today by getting a quote from a local tank maker :) 48 x 24 x 22 will be the next size :)

New Year's Update I

Happy new year folks.

Had some time over the holidays so I took some shots of the reef with the folks' DSLR - the shots are a little better than the normal grainy ones I put up :p

Sounds like a good time.

Should be interesting to see them run in a reactor - if they don't breakdown and clog the reactor, I think I'll be ordering some after my GFO runs out.

Not advocating it, but even when you decapitate some fish, they will continue to twitch or open and close their mouths. Eels are particularly bad for this - I've filletted eel, and the individual...

Kudos to Eco Live Rock...
