    It worked! I had to unplug, point downward, plug back in, then readjust to point where I wanted. Thanks, all, for the suggestions.

    Hadn't thought of that, but hey would likely fit more snug if I did use the grommets. :)

    I wasn't specifically looking for cracks yesterday, but I took the covers off to clean the pumps before moving them to the 10g and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

    Just tested my parameters after a 10% water change. Must be going through a complete cycle again. I was hoping it wouldn't take very long...guess I was wrong.

    Looks like I have 0.5 - 1.0 ppm ammonia, 0 - 0.25ppm NO2, 40ppm NO3.

    Me too! Wish I had the money for some Hanna checkers! lol.

    Thanks. 40 nitrates - my numbers should probably be falling back down within the next few days?

    Well I put the pumps on the Reef Fanatics Wave Creator like I had on the other tank and now the one pump is going in reverse again every once in a while.
