Those monkeys are pretty fat & clumsy by now, kept falling off those banana trees. Eventually the bananas will grow & flourish…might take a decade or two but we got time.
I’m super lazy so just hit a button on AMZN and things showed up. I don’t like driving around for a part unless I’m really desperate. Good to know just in case though - thanks for passing along.
I should get all parts needed by Sunday so hope to have some time hooking it up.
You are lucky to be able to have open sump. It’s so much harder having to crawl under the tank and do contortion gymnastics to swap out my return pumps and upgrading to 1” connections, it was not fun.
Indeed - it’s awesome to have an open sump, saved my back. However, need to keep the sump tidy & presentable. My sump & skimmer are caked with coralline algae — too lazy to clean it! Ufh
UV is online. I still need to split the power into 2 x 80W each and just alternate the schedule for longevity. Otherwise, I can just run 12hrs / day perhaps.
I know right? It’s a one-time setup and I can time how long does it take to fill a 5gal bucket.
Edit: that said, the flow is fed from the return’s manifold. It’s hard to guess the exact flow rate. I’m just eye-balling it for now but will dial it in when I’m free.
Trident NP - it’s not 100% matching Hanna but close enough to detect trends. I have NeoPhos on a DOS so very precise & easy. My PO4 dropped to 0.03ppm to turning it back online.
