Any input on this, my power surged other day and it tripped my breaker/surge protector. Well now, one of my MP40's is not powering up.

It might have blown the power supply. Can you switch power supplies to see if it works? If so at least you know what the issue is.

I agree. That will tell you or narrow down the situation.

 

[biecacka]

That's what it is, I'm going to order a new one on Monday.
Thanks for all your help guys

Glad that's all it was

LOL I've had a firefish in my sump for 6 months, he must be getting enough to eat! Someday I'll take my skimmer and stand out to be able to net him!

 

[Newbie Aquarist]

Wow that's crazy. Is it safe down there?

 

[muttley000]

Fat and happy, every time I have fished him out in the past he just goes over again

 

[biecacka]

Yea it's safe there. The water seems turbulent to me with the 2 drains coming there but he seems happy and food gets there. I'm trying to catch him out tho

Question, I run an iwaki 55 for my skimmer, there are 2 90's running into the pump and 2 90's into the skimmer. How much do you think those 90's are killing the water flow?

Reef Central has a whole set of calculators, including a Head Loss Calculator.

I would use some flex hose to get more flow for your skimmer. Lesser head loss compared to your 90s. But I'm sure from a break from golfing you know this already.

 

[biecacka]

Thing is I will need to try to figure out a way to replumb the whole thing with space restrictions, I was hoping to avoid it. But I'm getting poor performance from it now and it's because of 4 90's

How much do you feed? I was looking at your full tank shot and thinking it would look really cool to have a school of 10-12 anthias flying around. Anthias need lots of frequent feeding though.
Is your calcium reactor overkill for softies, or have you been able to dial it in?
