    Help with Siphon Overflow Box

    SWCD or Seaswirls for closed loop?

    Originally Posted by ViPeR_930 I'd advise against getting an SCWD. They cut down on the flow a lot, at least 20-30% in addition to the head loss. The barbs are poorly made and IME even with clamps they leak. They're known to be noisy after time too. You could look into getting a sea squirt or a...

    U Tube Siphon- Joining two tanks together

    Sly, Do you drain from the DT to one of your tanks with the U Tube, then to the other tank and pump back to your DT? If you just connect 2 tanks with this setup you need anther U Tube with a pump connected to keep water flowing between the 2. I use the exact same U Tube from my DT to my Fuge...

    what do you think of this?

    You actually be wasting money doing it that way. You are diluting the new water with nitrate laden(Sp?) water before it even gets into your tank.

    I have never heard of a Sixline being a "Cleaner", but they are good for eating a lot of pests in the tank.

    Undergravel filters (Gasp, yes I actually said it)

    My opinions, 1} The whole idea of sand over CC, the detritus does'nt fall between the gaps as it does CC. You do need an appropriate amount of flow to keep it suspended to be trapped by the filter, the remaining is easily accessed by your Clean-Up Crew. 2} I'm not sure I understand the question...

    Ozone Air-dryer DIY HELP

    If you do the filter (which is a cool idea, I know exactly what you are talking about) run it between the Ozonizer and the Air Dryer as this will dry the air before it gets to the filter, if you run it before the dryer it will change color first before you actually need to bake the media. I got...

    wondering about LR aquascaping

    I think you get better flow with it off the glass. It is also more interesting IMO if the fish can swim behind and through the rocks. Just be sure they are stacked securely so they don't fall.

    Ozone Air-dryer DIY HELP

    You could make one from PVC and drill and glue as small length of rigid airline tubing to one cap to run to your Ozonizer and a small hole on the other end. The caps should fit tight enough that you would'nt have to glue them. To not have to "bake" the media too frequently you would have to make...
