Ah ok. I was thinking you hard plumbed it with PVC.

Worse than mine?!?! Now that you say that, someone(s?) did mention an urchin before. I forgot about that. I wasn't expecting to need so many Emerald Crabs either!

Ya, they are temperate. I asked for 5 Nassarius, and the person came back with 5 Margaritas. I took them anyway as they didn't actually have any Nassarius. Margaritas are wonderful algae eaters, but they sure don't last long in the high temps.

I run a Mag 3 with mine same dimensions as the Mag 5. I just used some 3/4" hose fits on both well. Just slip it over the treads of the mag with a hose clamp.
