hahah the only time you chime in, is to give me a hard time no worries,

also found out my pipe that flows from the overflow into my refugium doesnt work so i have to take that out and cap it, not enough flow pushing through it so it just sucks up air.


also a quick question, my herbie seems to be sucking air everyone once in a while, and it gets noisy, i cant seem to get the little air bubbles out of it. do people get a little air bubbles or is it usually no air bubbles.

maybe try adjusting your gate valve just a little bit more and see if you can get it so no air bubbles are happening

Wow this looks crazy... are the rocks attached anyhow or just stacked? Almost looks like it might be a little precarious? It looks really good though, can't wait to see it stocked

no they are attached, i use fiberglass rods from canadian tire to attach them together and some putty. i put in the sand after so all the rocks are on the bottom.

ive found 2 leaks one is in the fuge bulkhead, so fixing that one, the other is in the pvc where the CL intakes are. not really sure how to fix that one?

the water height is literally about 1/2" down the the top of the water level, but i till take a picture, the height always changes around a bit when i put different flow through the fuge.
