You went on a rampage with the drill didn't ya?

I was just wondering whether the 8 holes below the coast-to-coast is for return (I don't know anything about close loop so please don't mind my ignorance )? If so, won't the water drain till the lowest holes in case of power failure?

I do not envy you, sir, your future water changes. However, everything else, yes, jealous. Carry on..

No closed loop ever again especially on this tank. In therory yes it would drain to lowest point in the event of a power outage but I will have several check valves as well are a large battery back up for each return pump.

Aha. Now it makes sense. Batteries....very reef safe (as long as its outside the tank )

And if the power goes out for to long I just take my truck down to my power pole & plug my welder into a socket, will run the whole house.

Didn't replace the front starphire, I actually polished out the scratches.
