BTW, food for thought.
Next time you think about buying one of those, you may want to get either a clear one, a clear true union one, or clear wye style one. That way you can see if there's crud/someone in it and with the union and wye ( of course ) you can dismantle and clean it out. Otherwise, when you need it most, it may not close

yeah I have thought about that since installation. Kinda wish I had..
Oh well once we move the plumbing will be dismantled and redone, possible plumbed into a basement, along with a frag tank (a small one for the time being)

The dream is eventually to do a nice 6Lx3Wx2H(270ish gallons + sump) in wall viewable from the front and one side pain, with everything enclosed into a room, with a nice large sump & skimmer as well as a frag tank around 50-75 gallons...


Hey a guy can dream right?
