Thank you all for the info and offers to borrow! I'll just buy a couple battery operating pumps, and then will have them for next time too. THANKS!

Thanks! Nevermind - that ones not battery. maybe this? https://www.amazon.com/MoonOrange-Rechargeable-Essential-Transport-Power-Cut/dp/B0B4N5VQ2G?th=1

So Dominion is going to turn our power off for 8hrs. What do I need to keep running? just something to keep oxygenating water? Suggestions on what to buy? They are turning it off next Wed. I have 2 tanks. 29Gal AIO reef tank - 2 clowns zoas and hammers heater small power head 120Gal FOWLR tank - 8 fish, most ~6in 2 small powerheads 8W 3 heaters 4-500 W Return pump

Thanks, that’s help full. I was trying to pick tangs with different shapes to avoid some of the aggression and add them at once and try to get them smaller. I do have a 4” Tomini tang that came with the tank. Planned to put him in sump, rearrange rocks and add all the tangs at once. Maybe I’ll just stick to the a yellow and one other. really appreciate they help!

Thanks! which fish are the more aggressive? I think im not going to do the chevron cause it gets too big. Debating on the queen now despite the love. What others are you thinking get to big?

I bought some orings but it was not leaking much and I couldn’t get the pipe back out. I plan to do that another day. Looks to me as if the nut, actually the threads are the broken part, are part of the base plate and siliconed in so not sure there is a part or an easy to replace part. Once I replace the orings I plan to silicone the nut in place, which ought to hold it enough. Thanks for asking!

I’m looking for thoughts on the combination of fish I’m looking to stock my ~120 gal Red Sea Reefer 525XL. 60 x 22 x 22. I bought it used and moved it and all the water so it’s a well established tank. It came with a 4in Tomini Tang and clown fish pair and an anemone(which they are not hosting unfortunately) and 100lb of live rock. I plan to have only a few corals like a monti for a centerpiece but really will be a FOWLR tank. I know the queen angelfish will nibble on corals…and maybe some other fish. I might do a few zoas or Palys that I have a lot of from my other tank that I’m not worried about. Right now their is not much of a sand bed, 1/2-1in so I’ll want to add a bunch. With these fish choices, is 2 or 3in better? Below are the fish I’m thinking of adding in the order I plan to put them in. Love some thoughts on ones that won’t do well together and time need to let them settle before the next add. Phase 1 Both of these Yellow or diamond watchman gobie Bicolor or forked tail blenny 1 of these Purple fire fish Firefish Phase 2 3 of the following wrasse Melanurus Carpenter exsquisit orange backed Bluehead Fairy Ruby Finned Fairy Not sure if better do the butterfly as the same as Wrasse or with tangs I do have a lot of bristleworms so hoping this choice will help with that. Or should I get a hawk fish? 1 of the following Orange butterflyfish Pearlscale Butterflyfish Auriga Butterflyfish Latticed butterfly Phase 3 - definitely will rearrange rocks to disrupt Tomini Tang territory 3 of the following + Tomini Tang Powder blue, blue tang, sailfish tang, chevron, or yellow Phase 4 Queen Angelfish I love and really want a Queen Angelfish. I planned it to go in last. If that’s too many fish, I’ll back off some of the others. I know eventually I’ll need a bigger tank or need to rehome it. Thanks for any and all advice? Tony

Thanks! was thinking of siliconing it. I found they have replacement orings that look larger and less warn than what I have so I ordered them. Im going to swap them out and silicone the broken one. I think the nut that broke only keeps the through pipe from backing out and loosening the Oring seal. Thanks for all the help everyone! Wamas rocks

Thanks! I ended up getting it tight enough so it’s a slow leak into the sump but couldn’t put the nut back on which worries me long term. Tank is filled and fish are At least happy, yay. At least it’s leaking into the sump. still will look if the part can be replaced or I can swap for a diff bulk head. Thanks for the help!

I just bought a used red sea 525xl and when I tried to hook back up the bulk head through the tank to the overflow was still leaking. I tightened it more and the thread underside mostly broke off. Anyone know how / if you can replace them? or other way to replace them! I got 100 gal of water, bunch of live rock and a 3 fish who can’t go in till it’s fixed help please tony

I have a jbjlighting Ato but needs a pump. It’s a 29gal Nano what size GPH do I need? Recommendations? Any used ones?

Seems like a lot of them. Is that good? Kind of overtaking the coraline

What's growing on my live rock? Looks like white strings. Brittle and will break to the touch.

This is how reefers feel....everyday! http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/067/7/b/shut_up_and_take_my_money_by_gbrsou-d79erhs.jpg

One more thing, the 250 gal tank is gorgeous and soooooo deep. Its in great shape. If your looking for a big tank with out it being super wide this is a great tank! Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
