well crap... I just found out the pump I was supposed to pick up today is actually a dang mag 7... I guess I'll just go to the LFS and buy a mag 5 brand new.. whatever, I'm tired of waiting.

Ok so I ended up grabbing a Rio10HF instead... how bad does this pump suck??
I know it is very sensitive to headloss.. lol.. 660GPH at no headloss and 190GPH at 6feet of headpressure.

LOL... great...
if I could have picked up the pump on saturday, it would have been today.
tomorrow?
I gotta get me another saw to cut a slit in the turf scrubber crossbar, a hole in the back of the stand for a better way to route the return, two 1/2inch 45 degree pvc elbows, 3/4inch to 1/2 reducer, 3/4inch rubber hose to pvc barb since the outflow on the rio pump is 3/4inch and not 1/2inch and the 1/2inch barb looks like it reduces flow REALLY bad lol, and finally a coupling for the barb to twist in...
That's where I sit for now before adding water, sand, and rock... oh yeah.. I need another bucket of salt LOL...

I'm gonna stock it with half dead brain corals and brown zoas then just run in front of a truck...

"I spent $700 on this tank and then went to the bargain rack at the LFS and bought all the dying and dead corals I could then killed myself!"
