    getting the prizm to pump up a little higher

    I would think the pump should have enough to pull up that far. I wrote Red Sea about how my Prizm sucked and was told to raise it 1" to 3" up to decrease the bubbles back into the tank! As far as pumping water into it... I wouldn't think that would be recommended. I would think you would have to...

    getting the prizm to pump up a little higher

    Sounds like it's sucking air where the tube is connected to the riser tube. I'm assuming you put it on with friction and didn't silicone it? Check the connection. BTW, it's done... shipping tomorrow! ;)

    Killer scarlet leg crab??

    I was told several monthes ago by my LFS that the reason they didn't carry scarlets anymore was because they are killers (which made me automatically assume they are not :p ). I've had more problems with hungry blue legged than I have ever had with scarlets. Caught a blue legged clamped onto the...

    Flow rate

    I prefer around 10x through the sump and return, with an additional 5X with powerheads in the tank pointing at target locations. But like all ready stated, your tank.

    Smaller overflows?

    OceanJumper is right. A smaller u-tube would prevent air bubbles due to increased flow rate through the tube. I have a smaller overflow I'm getting rid of if your interested (cheap). I can get a smaller u-tube for it to. Email me.

    $83 is a great price for that CPR. I did a search and the cheapest I found was $113. I can see how exactly it's plumbed though. I would think it would look pretty ugly on a 29G though. How are you going to light it?

    Putting the CPR on the sump may cause a problem. The CPR is designed to take water from the top of the tank, a sump's water level is usually very low compared to a tank. It may be able to be modified, I'm not sure. I'll look at the CPR and let you know.

    If you want it under the tank you will have to get an overflow and a return pump. This would cost around the same as the hang-on, perhaps a bit more. Benefits would include being able to light it 24/7 and maybe even being able to move the heater down there. The problem would be getting a low...
