@MERKEY figured you would like thjs. @Joe Glass Cages Coral crib tank and it's still a gorgous tank. The craftmanship is incredible.

Lots has changed at the coral crib since my last visit. The show room as shrunk by 2/3. It's all grow out for thier online store. The fish selection has greatly decreased.

Coral selection is still nice but not as diverse as it once was. This is prob due to online portion.

Quality was still really nice but reduced.

Still a great store. I hope they expand showroom in the future.

#Cronies Bad night. Cleaned the filter and turned it back on leaks at the aquastop valves. Seals are bad or worn. Either way I'm up crap creek with a broken paddle. The replacement parts is $60+. Fluval doesn't sell replacement seals for this part. FUBAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talked to @fishguy242 Thanks for listening and letting me just talk my idea through.
Plan please give thoughts.

Fluval is all 1 inch line.
Good news the cracked 125 was 1" pvc. I have shutoff and unions already built. I'm going to hard plumb the filter. The connection tubing will connect to the filter and have a union right above the union will be a shutoff.

Fx6 aquastop valve leak

Maybe upload it to youtube and link here? I put it on my server, it will work on most anything now. I forgot to add a player to it. It’s a higher quality mp4. If I have to, I’ll convert it to work on older opera browsers if someone can’t see it.

Will look something like this except it will be hard plumbed and returned to the tank.[/USER]

What are the aquastop valves?

What are the aquastop valves?

That valve is what is bad

That valve is what is bad

I'll check when I get home if I have replacement. I had an fx6 at one point. With extras. But I did sell the fx6 .... No promises.

Hard plumb seems better those valves suck

 

[fishguy242]

Couple of nipples ,good to go...

They wouldn't be bad if you could easily replace the seals

I appreciate you checking.

 

[Nate Chalk]

I appreciate you checking.

Long day just got home. Checking.

I think I gave them all to the kid who picked up my old tank he was new and enthusiastic so I gave him the fx6 and stuff too.

Darn. Sorry dude. Hard plumb seems like a great solution

 

[Nate Chalk]

Would suggest these. They work super well... Use for my water mix station. Can handle the p100 pump I have attached.

Can you share links. That's awesome

 

[sfin52]

I'm seriously thinking about throwing in the towel. Off to sulk and try not to think about it. Peace out

 

[sfin52]

I have velvet in my dream FUBAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sfin52]

Ok. I'm not leaving it did cross my mind.

I more than a bit salty to say the least.

Tomorrow ill have another 40g stock tank on the basement. It will be a emergency qt tank.
Tonight preparing water for the stock tank. Tomorrow I will set this up and move the fish over and in full dose of copper. No time to ramp up.

I'm prepared to lose 50% of the fish. It sucks but it's reality.

 

[sfin52]

I will use rock to lessen the stress with a container of sand for my little wrasse

@Crabby48 @SaltyT Please advise you are my wrasse experts.

 

[danieyella]

Ugh what a mess, I'm so sorry

 

[fishguy242]

Sorry man, don't use rock in qt, will eat copper too fast, hard to keep level at treatment level .
will defer to @Crabby48 @SaltyT @Lost in the Sauce on wrasses
If you need anything just call...
