Sounds good Doc. What's the purpose of the two outlets on the green line (primary)--noise? Does the one need to be at the level of the water as shown?

Sure, if I drained it quite a bit. What would that be for--a second outflow inside the overflow chamber or do you mean somewhere else in the tank as a return, or...? Sorry I'm a little new; I've read some of your posts and you obviously are very experienced.

That sounds ideal. Is your setup the same as mine--similar dimensions and such?

I have been thinking about setting up a sump with a 20 gallon tank since before I set up my DT. I have a few fish now and the tank is doing fine, and I like how it is very quiet. But nitrates are a little high and it would be nice to move the heater and skimmer out of the DT, so I'm still...

I'm a son of Adam. Pontius I agree...some will complain that America isn't ready for a black president if BHO doesn't win...but even if he does win, anytime anyone opposes him on a policy, out will come race again.

Not enough flow, or the water won't cool off enough as it goes through? What if you used tubing with some cooling fins, like a "radiator" from something? As I think about it you might need to use glass tubing to get enough heat transfer, plastic would be too low and of course metal is no good...

Anyone that is familiar with these please help? I am trying to research it, it looks like the cartridges I'm replacing are "granular activated carbon", as opposed to carbon block or "carbon wrapped" as these black ones said on the package. I don't know if the new ones are doing the job. The...

Google melev's reef, he has lots of information about this that I'm sure would be very helpful to you.

Sounds like it would work with enough patience (trial/error) but could be risky if your heaters can't keep up under certain conditions. You're also spending more on electricity because they're fighting each other--but maybe not too bad if you tune it right. I should look into this myself, I'm...

I'm keeping the damsel in the QT for 2-3 more weeks to be sure, but I bought a GOOD gramma ($40, ouch) from the store I trust. Day 2 and he's doing great, he gets along with my two ocellaris just fine and doesn't hide all the time like the other one did. I put him straight in with the clowns...

I can't find carbon filter replacements that look like what I have. Mine is the white (I have two of these). The black is what I got at HD, the tag on the shelf said "carbon wrapped". Mine are a lot heavier and obviously flow from one end to the other, however I can see that both designs will...

Cool skull

Bump, one more try...

I have to admit I got impatient and got a fish before my QT was cycled. I started worrying about having to do water changes every day so I put in a piece of live rock. Now I have to wait a few weeks to make sure it's safe to put back in my DT--and if the fish does start to show signs of ich, I...

Sounds like the pump is a start but you will need more. People generally recommend turning over the water in the tank 15-25x/hour, and if yours is 500 gph that's under 7x/hour.

IMO and its variants are actually used pretty much everywhere online, not just here. IMO = in my opinion IMHO = in my humble/honest opinion IMPO = in my personal opinion IMDWO = in my dead wrong opinion (usually don't see this one) ...and so on.

Thanks anthropo. The gramma didn't make it, I guess you could say he kicked the water change bucket. Damsel still looks happy and I will monitor her for a few weeks before adding her to the main tank. I'll be more careful where I buy my next gramma--I got both of these guys from an LFS with a...
