Yup darn noise durso!

When I ran my herbie I had a strainer on my main drain and had the other open. I the year I had the herbie I never had to clean the strainer once? I will add I never had a HA problem either. I diligently checked it on water change day but had no build up.


Good luck man, sorry for the Herbie/Durso war.

Great input guys. Thanks so much. I think the herbie makes the most sense, because of what we discussed. Perhaps I will get a DC return pump and just run what I can get in the one line. But pretty sure I will go herbie now and yes I will get strainers.

Thanks again.

Only update I have..Notice the blood that left.. This is the access from my fishroom/office to the living room where the tank is. That blue line is my Shaw cable. Had to be careful around it. Of course its the same freakin spot.

Looks good Doug.. keep the pitchers coming.

Ha, thanks Alex. I should take a pic of those holes now. They have nice square finishing fittings around them. Actually look pretty good for a hole in the wall.

I await all my redo parts from Dan @ MOPS and from Ray @ Reef Supplies. New drill bit, all new bulkheads and fittings, proper reef safe silicone. And have my new glass cut for a little larger overflow.
