290G Peninsula Tank

[mseepman]

Well its been a while since I posted on the tank. It's had some ups and downs in the last 6 months....right now i've got algae which I have never had before....mainly due to coral over growth on each other and the warfare that ensues. Today I decided that I would tackle the return pump which had started seeping about nine months ago and was a giant ball of salt now. Not a job I look forward to again. The impeller had rusted onto the shaft where the seal was weeping and it took 2hrs to break it loose. I switched to my second pump (another new blackfin3600) with new seals and put it back together to discover the seal was faulty and leaked. we took it all apart again and put in my spare set of seals and thankfully the leak was over.....except that now I have a drip at the bulkhead where the return draws from the sump.....arghhhh!!!!
