Bang Guy that seems like it would work. if filter socks dont do it then i will consider the alternative. thanks Rob

It looks like mine xcept i hav that first baffle, which yeah i know does just about nothin, but it was my first poor attempt at DIY. You should see the silicone job. Prty....bad. Rob

the skimmer is in the first chamber. the problem is the drains bring down too much air and it make micro bubbles. the blue lines r the drains

here it is i hope this works.

ill try in paint itl b a minute never done it b4

this might be frustrating but im not sure how it will stop micro bubbles. The sump is divid into 3 10" sections. The first section has my two drains and the skimmer, 2nd is refugium, and third is the return.

Thats a good idea but the sump is only a 20 long so that might be a prob. when doing this, the rock tub is outa the water right, then the water without bubbles flows through the bottom? Thanks Rob

The topic says it all. I seems like the drains are pulling alot of air down with them and it bubbles under water. The bubbles hit each other and become micro bubbles and are all in the DT. Will a Sock on each drain fix the problem? Thanks in Advance Rob

Does anyone have experiance with this skimmer and do they like it? If so please tell me what type of system you run it on thanks Rob

where can i get Weld-On and is it made specifically for Acrylic? thanks for all the info MY Way and others. Rob

well i have taken advise and am not going to silicone it. I will loosen and tighten then test it again. well im not a noob to reefing, just to DIY. What makes acrylic bond to acrylic? Thanks Rob

you should calculate GPH after headloss too. Most people say their pump pushes 700GPH but after, 3ft head, you might only have 550GPH. For instance in my 20L sps i have a Quiet One 2200 on a CL going through a SQWD. Normally this pumps 580GPH but the SQWD cuts it down to 400-450. I also have...

i dont have the bulkheads glued, i have all the pvc glued. and like a noob i used all slip so..... cant take them apart. the gaskets are on the inside of the tank, so i think im gonna loosen the nut, and slip some silicon in between the bulkhead. thanks Rob

yeah everything is installed correctly with bulkheads and gaskets on right. the problem is everything is glued so i cant take anything apart ant other suggestions? Rob

I just put this tank together and brought it outside to do a freswater test and leak test. I found out that all, and i mean all six of my bulheads are leaking. Can i put silicone around the inside lip to stop this. Its not a large leak just a drip a second or so. Any help is appreciated...

so i am getting ready to move my 29 into another 29g for a dedicated zoo tank. i was wondering if i used all of the origional live rock, but used new arag-alive sand, if there would be a cycle. i will also use about a gallon of the origional water. any help will b appreciated. thanks rob

if i were you id get the double threaded bulkheads. if for some reason you need to do some replumbing it will be much easier to take apart your system. also when you do order bulkheads, make sure you get the right size. A 1.75 inch hole does not meen that u need a 1.75 inch bulkhead.

also you might want to add lighting

i would also agre that they are hydroids. sometimes they go away after the tank matures, and sometimes you need to cleen it off the rock. but either way, get rid of em. they supposedly sting corals.

If a tanks subtrate is slowly leaking phosohates into the water, will pourous LR absorb it. And if this rock is used in a different tank, will the rock also leech phosphaters into the water?
