Think it is all in millimeters converted to the closest inch measurement.  0.708" is 18mm.  If you get 1/8" thick it is actually 0.118" or 3mm.

I have had mine for about 2 years and it seems to be working OK.  I have heard of them failing after some time.  I always rinse with RO and dry it good before putting it away. 

3/4" 4'x3' from TAP is $450

How did you drill the hole in the tempered glass successfully? 

You can't drill tempered glass, bot not all tanks have tempered glass.  Test to make sure that the glass isn't tempered prior to drilling.  Google it.  

Black peel and stick wall paper.  Works awesome and you can use any color you want.  Even comes in 24" width so you most likely won't have seems.  

PM sent.

I've got some but in Salem.

I'd do something like this to clamp the tubes.  Glue a screw to the top of the manifold then put this widget on and use a nut to tighten down so the nibs hold the tubes in place.

Clove Polyps would be my guess.

The full siphon flow rate on the overflow matches exactly the return flow rate back to the tank.

If you divert some to a new device (say 50 gal/hr to a carbon reactor) that is less water going back to your tank. You'll need to restrict your siphon more to compensate. 

Now when it comes time to change out the carbon in that reactor and you shut off the water to that device, you are diverting that to the tank now and you'll need to open up the siphon a little to compensate. 

Don't think @islandVib3s is using the return as the source for the manifold, but I may have misread the original post.

Forgot wife had a short video of it. Not the best due to lights. 

I haven't added anything to my tank since May of last year.  Doesn't seem to be affecting anything, but I don't have a lot in my tank.

I have not added berghia, so not those. It kind of looks like the lettuce nudibranch, but was pretty flat and did not have any visible antennae. I'll keep an eye out and try to get a better picture. 

Found this worm in the tank tonight any idea what it might be?

Cool!  I will swing by after Spring Break.  Thank you!

I have a similar cheapo UV light that worked great.

You and I are the last ones on here with a sense of humor so....

I always laugh at you.  Well, at what you write in your posts. 😀

prone to high sample to sample variability because the sample volume is so small (only 0.1 ml)

I tried to use one of the inexpensive auto pipettes from Amazon to get the same 0.1 ml every time, but the $40 version was less accurate than using the syringe in the kit.

I use this in my 25AIO:

If you're just running normal plugs do you have to ground it? I just run an extension chord into the fish room and plug in a power strip.

Think it depends on the generator.  If the generator has a dedicated ground other than the frame then it would be required.  I have a Predator 3500 and Honda eu2200i and they are grounded through the frame.

If you plan to connect a generator via transfer a transfer or lockout switch to your house it has to have the correct plug on it.  4 prong plug: 2 AC, 1 neutral, and one ground.
