running fine now... i lowered the box... the screw that held it was loose and the box kinda floated up a bit

i have a hob overflow box flowing into a diy 10 gal sump i built everything is working fine just the water isn't fowing as much as it could or should going from the overflow box to the sump. (its a 55 gal tank) the water is trickling into the box and then being sucked out by the U tube the box...

I have a 5 stage 75 gpd rodi system for a little over 2 months now.. so far i've made a total of about 150 gallons of water or so... my tank now broke out in diatoms and i was wondering if it was time to change the filters in the rodi system yet? (i live in new york city and was told we have...

i had a block of foam (like the pices they use for sound dampening for music) cut it to fir snugly in the top of the overflow box and its pretty quiet

55 gal corner bow with MH lights i have a smaller one that hasn't moved in months this one seems to go for a stroll every now and then

i have a green/white tip anenome that i had wedged between two small rocks for a few months (black perc clown loved it) i come home to find out it pretty much just picked up and moved himself to the back corner of my tank - attched itself to a rock and is now facing the back wall of my tank...

i made one and it works good except for the gurgling sound (which gets pretty loud and annoying) is there anyway to quiet it down? if i add more water it is super quiet then after a few hours it gets loud again

bulk reef supply has some nice units.... i got my stage 5 ro/di 75gpd from them for around 150 - i believe i caught a sale before xmas but the reg price was still not too bad... and i use mine as a portable also- leave it store away and hook it up to the sink when i need it

mine for some reason is being over run by my hermits.... they litterally climb up the branches until it falls over... anyone experience this?

i'm sorry... what is a penductor?

i have one on both... the problem is if i leave both open more water comes in than can be pumped out and i'm running 1" pvc on both so it should be about 600gph and i'm pumping a mag 7 which is a little less than the 600gph with the 4-5' or so of head loss so i keep making adjustments to the...

so it is up and running the only problem i have (after fixing a few leaks) is keeping the water level in the sump constant.. alot of playing with the ball valves

i hate to sound annoying but how long do the diatoms usually stick around for before going away? my tank looks prestine except for the dam brown spots... i would like to finally add some fish but i'm still holding off.. its been about a month since i changed over to the ro/di water and all the...

i've got hermits snails and 2 cleaner shrimps running all over my tank! i cleaned all of the stuff off the glass and overflow box... i mixed around the sand (not sure if tat was smart) now i'll see how this uv works.... your saying the brown algae will just go away? how long does that usually take?

i got a slotted black cone (inside of the mag 7 prefilter sponge thingy) and fitted it snugly in the top by cutting the top off of a 3/4 cap and fitting that into the top of the 1" pvc ---- dremmel best tool for the job

hopefully tomorrow i can get to it and scrape the algae off the glass pumps etc. what would i go about the brown algae on the sand though? try and scoop it out and put new sand?

thanks... it's working... i have brown algae on my sand and some green spots (not that much-more towards the bottom of the glass) will that eventually go away now with the use of ro/di water and uv sterilizer or should i try to remove it and just hope it doesn't come back?

I have a 18W Coralife UV sterilizer that i got for $100 as an open box (used for a month on a display tank in lfs)... i have it hooked up to a small powerhead in my sump and returning the water to the sump.. how do i know if it is working there is no light that light up that it is on etc......

got the pump a 700gph plumbed everything up made my own sump/filter gonna test everything out tommorrow and put some oics up if i can figure that out.... pump part works well-- i filled the sump up in the tub to see if it would pump up the plumbing and it did i was actually pretty impressed

ok so i made the overflow out of 1" pvc tried it in to a bucket and it worked good!!! going to get a 600gph pump tomorrow... only question is---- what to put on top so that the fish don't get sucked in and it doesn't restrict the flow?
