When your main pump short circuits or something kills the power to the house not knowing its the pump in your fish tank you get everything turned back on and smell something burning. Walk the house and then see smoke coming from your tank... The pump had bubbles coming from it and when they would pop it would be smoke.... And all the fish stores are closed. And when you take the pump out you break your y tube thing for the two returns from the pump.... Now there's no circulation for the heater or anything for oxygen. My red dragon better make it or I will be so upset with this hobby

My maroon clown and I disagree about new corals. I love them, she doesn't. Normally it takes me a ridiculous amount of superglue or epoxy to to eventually get them fixed to a rock because the clown battles the new corals with a vengeance until the coral ends up on the sand bed. I glue it back, she knocks it down again. I hate that fish.

I hear you here. I have grown to hate submersible pumps although I'm using an EHEIM 1262 for my skimmer right now until I move/replumb my sump. Historically I've been an Iwaki bigot (never a problem) but now I'm a pretty big fan of PanWorld despite the noise. All the pumps are in a basement equipment room under my stairs so we can block most noise that way.
I have a 200PS that is soon to replace the 100PX for return. Off that return will be the refugium and GFO/GAC reactors. Probably still have to dial it back. The 100PX will run the skimmer and a 50PXX will cycle with the chiller. Xcel loves me.

Man you just got back into the hobby after a short break, which means you are not allowed to sell your stuff and must remain in the hobby for at least 2 years before you can quit again.
