My 125 has had some issues with fish, dinos and one of my 300w vipars went out the other day (fixed it) but starting to fill it back up

At a year you've barley dipped your toes in the water. 2 years is when it gets more fun. By then you've learned and applied so much that a lot of things become second nature. Then...you can start expanding knowledge in areas you used to never care about.. just to have it in your back pocket. What makes this hobby great, if you really dig it, is the level of which you can take the learning/knowledge and play around and experiment
Yeah, that's right up my nerdy alley. I just needed some sort of wife-approved limiting factor to counter my, "go overboard with a new thing and lose interest," personality trait.

So far, even with the tank crash, I'm still having fun and enthusiastic. Though I am living in plumbing fitting hell at the moment. Did you know NPS exists and is separate, and incompatible with NPT? And the, surprise surprise, the item I ordered said NPT when it's actually NPS. Sigh.

ETA: I do wish I had somebody local that could just come over and look at the tank and be like, "oh, you're an idiot, this thing is that and this is the best solution," or whatever.

Flexpvc.com is a great place to get parts cheap. I ordered all my 1.5" gate valves and true union valves there. I think the gates were like 45 bucks and the true unions were like 25.

Side note.
Been doing Reefs for about 6 years but never really put in any effort until about 2 years ago. Got serious bout it after several crashes from neglect really. Told myself to put max effort into it and see where I could take it. Everytime before i would start well....then slack.
Started doing sticks about a year and a half ago

I’ve been doing this since I was 10, still feel like I’m a rookie sometimes. That’s what keeps it fun

YES! True union valves.... Don't overlook such a useful product!
Valves and unions are a MUST!
