I wouldn't treat with copper unless you know for a fact the fish has Ich.

That sounds like the pump is starting to go out on you as it doesn't sound like its pumping consistently. You might consider a new pump.

Does the over flow pipe terminate below the water level in the sump or above it? If it's above then that should be your problem. Extend the pipe so that it terminates one or two inches below the water line. If its already below the water line then there might be too much water being pumped back...

If you don't mind, what size is your tank and do you plan on quarantining your tang?

Ive been here almost five years now and I don't remember ever seeing a page for that.

I'm hoping to start working on the install the weekend after fathers day. First I have to build a work bench so I can cut glass for baffles in the diy sump. I have to do a leak test on the tank and sump also. Boths tanks have been in storage for a few years so I have to make sure all the seals...

Just wanted to let you know your not being ignored. Someone should answer soon. I'm more of an invertebrate guy myself.

Thanks Beth. Yes, I already took that into consideration. The rooms about 15'x20' and everything will be stationed opposite of the laundry side and nothing containing sprays or fumes will be stored in that room.

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything here so here's a quick update: We finally closed on our house on April 30th and are slowly starting to move in. We're waiting till the kids finish school at the end of May to do the big move. The house has a finished basement with a large...

Howz the little guy doing?
