I walked into Petco, and behold...a rare gem!

Also, the nem is eating very well with no signs of stress.

No deflation.

Typical RC thread - 'please provide last year's W2's and your last 3 pay stubs. We will then let you know our decision on whether or not you are worthy of our advise'

I know, that's kinda funny. I lost about everything moving, changing systems & training for my new job. Was super busy with no time. I'm gonna try to restock soon. I'm getting 20 clowns for $50 next week.


My new tank:


The tank I tore apart and rebuilt:

None of the Petco stores in Los Angeles hold animals for customers. You are lucky. Lol

It's a planet 150/G. $550 brand-new. I ordered it "not" reef ready. Then I fixed it up.

LOL. The orange should go nicely with a "yellow" gig. Haha

I like the gigantea bleached or colored. They are the most difficult anemone to keep. Just having one is nice.

Check valves are unnecessary (and largely pointless) though.

 

[OrionN]

I agree with Simon

 

[Bristle_Worm]

I use the check valves for a few reasons.

1. I don't like my returns sitting on the top of the water.
2. I hate when my DT back siphons 20 gallons into my sump.
3. I don't like drilling holes in my loc-line or returns.
4. They are unions and allow me to break the returns at the bulkheads.
5. They look cool for the ladies. Ha Ha

Bristleworm, nice job on the build! I'm curious about the tank you re-siliconed for your friend. Did you re-use the spacers between the panels from the factory, use different ones, or none at all? Just curious. Thanks!

The problem is that they are usually 'inoperative' very shortly after normal usage... NEVER depend on them to work when needed.

I used check valves in the past and they always fail when I needed them. Not the first few months but after 6 months they won't hold water.
