So I hard plumbed my Red Sea 170, I filled it up and it is running well so far. I do have a tiny leak but that is not what I am worried about lol. That should be an easy fix. My concern is in the emergency drain, middle pipe, and the weight of it caused by how I hard plumed it. With the entire...

Hi! I'm brand new to reef tanks. After months of thinking about it, I pulled the trigger when I found a cheap second hand E170 (with the sump upgrade). However I have realised that It doesn't have all the parts original parts, which I'm now working out what I do and don't need. After cleaning...
