I had posted a topic several months ago on how to quiet sumps. Do a search on my posts and it should come up. In short, I used several 45 deg stree elbows in such a mannor that it is about 4 in under water line of sump. My plumbing is 2in at that point, but I suppose it should work for your...

took mine a week to break in. After that, works great. You can remove the prefilter sponge for a little more flow.

I also have not seen a problem with the hermit crabs. I've got 150 of them. The snails on the other hand, sometimes need a little nudge to get them going again.

good to know.

Well, all is fine. she has seen me do it enough, and I walked her through it last night. except for fed ex not doing thier job correctly, everything went smooth. She called just to ask about the clown's, but I was happy to hear everything was ok. Hey cliffrouse11bas, I had to buy an...

My order from SWF.com of 50 scarlet, 100 blue legs 50 snails and 2 clownfish are comming tommarow morning. I have to work. My girl will be here to accept the package. But, she is wary of acclimating them. Do you think they will last until 6:30 pm?

I used polyurathayne. Works awesome.

I've got a 180 on the 3rd floor running parallel to the floor joists. (I made sure the management staff and my insurance company ok'd it first though)

won bros titanium. I spent a little extra to get the digital. It's nice because it's easy to set and a you always have a digital readout of the tank temp. What you need to consider is the difference in room temp vs the desired tank temp. If the room temp is 68 and you want the tank at 80...

Most local code specifies that the basement floor should be a min of 4 inches thick with an average of 6 deep. Your fine. Ive got my 180 on the 3rd floor.

Check out my site. Link is below.

nope, don't need one. I have 1 return system with 10 1/2 and 3/4 outlets(not exactly a spray bar). I depend on syphon breaks. 2 of the return outlets are 1/2 at the surface, and when the pump stops, water syphons back to the sump until the water level gets to the outlet and then stops. It's...

Yes they are bad also. Sorry

external overflow box? You could put a 3 in pipe and still only get 1 cup per hour. It all depends on the pump you are using to return the water to the tank from the refugium.

powerhead

what do you think is worse?

Berlin turbo

It's just a prefilter. Works better without it. After a veryshort time, it doesn't let the full flow into it and performance drops.

Yeah a little. but for it's size (about 1"x 1") and the fact that it was cleaned well (boiled for 5 min in saltwater, not a dishwasher)I just decieded why not. After all, there are tires in almost every lake. Have not had anything die related to it. Just a live rock problem that started...

What did you add to the water? Did something come loose?
