The saddle valve that I used too tap into my water supply. Probably the scaryist moment in this house i was afraid it was going too **** water everywere

140 isn't too bad for most of Alberta, I've heard of much higher in Calgary.

This picture frightens me. The way that you have that float valve mounted on that tank just doesn't look secure to me. If the float valve were to float upward and rotate or flip, you would just keep feeding water until something bad happened. I think you would be better off just bulkheading that float switch directly into the tank wall.

there is weight in that basket thing too keep it from doing that i agree with you though if i had room in the sump it would be in there but i had to squish the maxi jet in there for the phos ban reactor and that was the last of the room in there

after tons of reading i hate too say it but i have lots of majano in my tank it sounds like the only way too really get rid of them is too tear the tank down and cook the live rock. There are too many too just pick them off the rock so thats out of the question anyone have any ideas?

[scub steve]

just a little update i have tons of algae in my tank so im in dire need of a cleanup crew and i like adding pics now that i know how lol


my rics that i will probably just give too my brother seeing i want too go sps



I changed my auto topoff a bit I added a powerhead too pump too the tank and changed the float


and this excites me the most one of my only sps is turning blue it was an ugly brown i dont know if the pic is very good but trust me its turning blue
