  1. When I initially installed my Red Sea Reefer 450 in 2017 I learned not to overtighten the pipes/adapters.  Since then I've kept extra parts on-hand, just in case.  Today, while checking my sump I noticed a leak from the lower part of the return pipe, where the adapter connects to the pipe.  Sure enough, a hairline crack in the threads on the lower end of the pipe.  After 5 years, something caused it to crack. I'll admit I really like the Red Sea tanks, but this is the 3rd or 4th pipe replaced because of hairline cracks.  In addition to replacing the pipe, it was necessary to replace the Oring on the adapter.  It must have shrunk and feels a bit hard. Some pictures are below, if interested.  Also, I keep a spare of the return pipe, emergency overflow pipe, and main overflow - in the event of emergencies.  Let me know if you have a similar emergency.

  4. I'm curious for others who have a Booster Pump what is your psi when running and at idle. I noticed today while refilling my ATO that the pressure running was 35-40. During idle it is 50. I'm trying to determine whether the pressure gauge is bad or the pump. I replaced the filters and cleaned the pump diaphragm,  but no change. The pressure seems fine coming out and the ATO filled in two hours like normal. The pump is turning off and on like normal. I recall the psi being around 80, but don't remember if that should be at running or idle.
