so sorry to hear that
life has a way of interfering with our hobbies .
hope what you have left makes it and if anyone can have them rebound its you
good luck
okay thank you so much you have been a
life saver
i guess i should of read up on sumps before replacing my canisters
but didnt have time as they both broke down one after the other
1 day apart one motor burned out and than my 405 fluval lock in broke off
so i am wondering is it safe to use that pvc cerment glue
how long do i need to wait for it to be okay to reconnect it
my sump has been off since last night and getting a little worried
i have a power head running and a 350 penguin running now
i have 6 fish some feather dusters and...
the hose coming from overflow box is a think flex hose
but the one connect to the sump going back to the tank is very soft
i cut some off so there wasnt so much extra but still flatening out
so went to homedepot and got some pipe and elbows and some pvc cerment
tested in bath tub and no leaks...
so its been a week and all was well but now my return hose is
not holding up to good it keeps flating out and causing more air bubbles
so i was wondering if i could connect pvc piping from the pump to the sprayer if so what size piping would fit the pump any help and do i need any thing like...
no i didnt use the bio balls i think i want to add some plants to haverest some codpods
as my tank is mainly for corals
i will add a few different gobys
but i think thats it
i will add some more water to the sump than i thought it waas for no matter what was in there not to pass those limits
thank you both for the advice
i left it running all night no bubbles no overflow floods
i'll leave on all day while at work and hope i can make it thru the day without having panic attacks over it running
i think by having me shut it off i have layed most of my fears to rest
i just thought...
i can only guess at the measurements as i dont own a tape measure
20long x16high x 10 wide
well i try as you said unplug and sure enough it didnt overflow
and it started right back up but while i had it upluged i notice that the tube going back to the tank was twisted so i cut some off to make...
okay i have a 40-50 gallon tank
the sump looks like it could hold a least 3 gallons of water the pump has about 1.5 clear tubing going back to the tank
on the overflow box it has a flexable 3in hose clear box in tank is below water level
so you think i should try and unplug it to see how far...
