2 part epoxy might be another option. Super glue is handy, but not all that strong for stuff like this.

I don't know the material from looing at it. What is actually broken? Got a pic of that?

Any idea what kind of plastic? PVC glue, or weldon #16 may be effective depending on the kind of plastic.

Hayward makes some nice ones as sell.

This might be useful in understanding how things drift using different Ca/Alk systems. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/how-a-two-part-alkalinity-and-calcium-system-works-and-why-it-matters.1044570/page-2#post-12360635

Kind of already covered but… -Micro bubbles in the water is usually from air getting into the pump intake ( exception being the occasional vortex at the water surface if an output is too high) -bubbles trapped in algae is often the first sign of dinos. -but little bubbles everywhere...

Is this still active? Simplicity skimmer?

Asking to rule it out. Measurement errors happen, and with SG in particular devices sometimes drift and or have other issues. IF- by chance SG is elevated, then alk and everything else goes up as well. 8dkh goes up to 9 then 10 as salinity increases.

Kalk for my ATO, with high PH as a shut off safety, and using a peristaltic pump that’s only capable of delivering slightly more than my daily evaporation volume as a secondary safety. For many years I ran a kalk reactor with once daily stirring. Recently I (followed Randy’s long standing...

Oh yea, and Phyto. Plenty of fresh phyto.

Ohh, that might be a little too much information :D

Dong, Frank, and other local reefers. I like that my entire system is locally grown with the exception of 2 fish and clean up crew.

Mysis to feed fish, fish poop follows. Resist the urge to try to manage nitrate / phosphate via removal or traditional means. Let bacterial growth happen, corals feed on at least some of that bacterial growth, feed fish more, repeat...

Yes.

Nice. Plenty of pipe left there, easy to redo.

You might be safer to cut and replace the plumbing if there is any concern of cracking the tank.

This has been sold. Thanks for the interest.

I have one of those smaller BWs that came from Frank. Probably more like 4". I like it, but could part with it to make some space....

I find adding new (dry/dead) rock goes a LOT better if I let it sit in my dark sump for a month or longer first. This way, the new rock gets a chance to develop some biological slime and micro fauna, so it's not just be a sterile surface that will attract nuisance everything. To use BRS (the...

Hi, Good question. I've been holding for the first person who was interested, but that seems to have stalled. I do still have it. I'll check in with the first person who was interested and get a status check. If they aren't able to take it, you are next in line. John
