What happens when one of your fuge pumps craps out?

Do you still have your 55?

Just have the refuge overflow back into the sump prior to as much filtration as you can. If you are bringing the water from the tank overflow to feed the fuge...then that water will not have been filtered...also, if you could find a plastic replacement for the refuge...you can just cut a hole...

Hey Sammy...maybe you are just to scary looking for your shrimp...

Also...what kind of car is that? A Hyundi? Geo? What?

Your diagram looks good...one thing to consider...every severe bend (90 degree elbow) reduces the pressure, as does extra distance. If you take your return line straight up or at least reduce the 90 to two 45's, that would be an improvement. What kind of pump you looking to power this?

Could be they are just cruising the sidelines in the back...give it a week or so to see if they emerge...if you do get more...acclimate them... Peppermints that I have had, and have now are shy at first, as for nocturnal...mine are out all day. They are no longer in a tank with lots of LR, just...

Used overflows are hard to come by. Your image didnt go through...but from your explanation, it should work. Try and stick with at least 1 inch diameter overflow (down to your sump), preferably 1 1/4 inch.

I didn't really understand your diagram...maybe try paint or something similar and attach it to your post. A side note...with the piece of hose you are looking at. Go with flexible PVC. A bit more expensive, but resistant to kinking as vinyl tubing is. Something else I have found. Having the...

Children and marriage are two of the most wonderful things which can happen in a persons life. Kids are great!

My sumps are in the basement directly below my tanks...so I have plenty of room to work with. This is why everything is so spread out. Could get cramped if you are working under a tank.
