Boston, everyone from MA is from Boston.

Im techincally, maybe 5 miles south of city limits. Anything north of Boston may as well be Maine. Anything South of Gillete stadium (5 Miles the other direction from me) may as well be Rhode Island

When i'm not traveling i live in a pretty small bubble, LOL

Still cheaper than the Maxspects.....

Hmmm About 1.5 hrs away

Where abouts in NH? Any good stores up that way? I do leave the bubble to ski quite a bit in Winter. I've heard good things about Love The Reef in Willmington, MA but haven't gotten that way when they've been open.

Jay's in Salem has a good selection and is a good size store. Aquatic Creations in Amherst usually has some decent stuff and Fish Mike's in Manchester is where I usually get stuff. Last 2 are small but they can get you anything you want. Aquatic Creations is QTing his fish now too. I got most of my LPS from Mike's at a good price. Also got my Hydra's from him at a good discount because a customer wanted black after he saw the white.

I've been told that Love the Reef is a good store but never been there

We ski in the summer here. I guess you could ski in the winter, but it will probably end in hypothermia.

Did i miss the lineatus, or did it not make it?

Scurvy · May 9, 2018

You must’ve missed it. The Attenuatus was gone in 30 seconds. Lineatus was there for a few minutes while I was poking around.

Alright so, delivery ended up being two and a half hours later than scheduled... had to call work and tell them I'd be running late. Here's where I opened it up and looked everything over.

Please, let me know. Post all the pictures here you want. There is no hijacking here, if the topic gets too out there I have ways to bring it back in.

Speaking off that, I think we are out of snacks by the way[emoji57]

Is it 3/4 spilt into two 1/2 inch to give you dual outputs? Is that not good?

SashimiTurtle · May 9, 2018

Cat is out of the bag now guys. @Fudsey found it... go blow it up.

The tank has 3 holes drilled for 1" SCH40 bulkheads. The return from the tank up is a 1" pipe that Ts at the top. This is reduced down to 2, 1/2" loc lines. I think I read that 1/2" loc line maxes out at around 450gph flow, where as 3/4 can handle 1200+gph. It'll be a fairly easy fix and more flow is more better.
