Oh, I forgot to talk about all nine filters really quick, for anyone that wants to know... In order: 10 micron sediment filter 5 micron sediment/GEM coconut carbon block filter 1 micron sediment filter Water softener catalytic carbon filter catalytic carbon filter 75GPD RO Membrane DI Resin...

Well, good news... I unloaded everything on the kitchen table and found the dual in-line TDS meter inside of a package. Man, it's much smaller than I imagined, but that's no big deal. The thing that I am frustrated with is the length of the electrical cables that comes with it. Anyways, at...

Totally understand

Re-sealing a tank is tough! I'm with Pegasus on this one. If it doesn't leak now, then the silicone should still be good.

Cool! Thanks for sharing

Oh, some people have been known to drill their rocks and build a base either out of acrylic of PVC and use PVC or acrylic rods to help support it. Anyways, just throwing around some ideas.

Zip ties and apoxy sculpt,... Drill holes in the Rock if you need to and then zip tie it together. You could use apoxy to cover the zip ties and texture it to blend it in,... If you are attaching base rock only and have a week or so for it to cure, you could use aquarium safe silicone and...

How many water changes and what percentages? From what I just.read, it needs to get out of the water column through water changes.

Oh, something that can quiet down the pump from vibrating too much is by taking a tube of aquarium safe silicone and adding beads/strips of it to the side of the pump that will sit on the glass or acrylic sump.

Sorry to hear of your flooding troubles. I hope one day they are resolved. A 29g tank with an 11g sump and approximately a 5' head height. You need anywhere between 7x and 10x gph of your display tank going through the sump. An Eshoppes PF Nano 300 drains approximately 300 gallons per hour...

Well, I had a package arrive in the mail today. Almost all of my RO unit supplies. They didn't send my dual in-line TDS meter like I ordered. I hope it was sent as a Seperate package.

I've used eshopps external overflows in the past and they have never failed me. Just pair the proper pump with it and you will never have to worry about losing siphon,... I guess that's just my experience with them,...

What might help is knowing the distance from your sump to the top rim of your tank. That's called "head height". When you know the head height and what overflow your going to buy, then you can look at various pumps to see their head height charts and pick one that corresponds to the max drainage...

If you get an overflow such as an Eshoppes, it doesn't require a lifter pump as long as you have a matching pump. An external overflow is simply a controlled siphon. When the water pump turns off, the flow stops but the siphon is still primed. When the pump resumes, the overflow continues to...

Never heard of that. Cool!

Here is a pretty good article,... https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/c/index.php/articles/content/aquascaping-and-water-circulation.147

I would keep running carbon. That shouldn't affect skimmer operation. The efficiency of a skimmer has more to do with surface tension, pH, temperature, salinity, the amount of dissolved proteins and how many liters/hr of air flow Vs. How many gph of the pump. Since alkalinity has a direct...

Lol. It's almost become a game. I get on and scroll through,...

I think Flower would tell you that a sump is unnecessary and a canister filter will suit your needs better. I personally think a sump is well worth the time, money and effort. I like the one you chose, but like you said, there is not much space. You can buy an external overflow from eshopps...

Quit adding a pH buffer and let alkalinity come down to 8.0 dKH. See if that helps.
