    when to add sand?

    I can't think of a reason why you couldn't add the sand now. Stop moving water for a while when ya do it. I alway wanted to try a brand new transmission funnel(long and slender) to get sand to the bottom of the tank precisely. You will want to top off the dead sand with some live sand at some...

    Refugium question

    I think you want to "feed" the fuge unskimmed tank water. The fuge (depending on your application) is going to remove nutrients like growing macro algae for example. Skimming in this app should get the left-overs. Maybe you could use the skimmer pump to draw water FROM the fuge and return it...

    Bret, Mine is all rigid plumbing but I'm sure the hardware store near you can help you adapt what you have. The plumbing guys are usually pretty helpful if ya tell them what you want to do. I have spent hours in the plumbing aisle. I used 3/4" and 1" pvc. It's cheap and easy to work with...

    Hey Bret, You can add a ball valve and a "tee" to the overflow line coming in to the fuge and send any extra water directly to the sump area. I use a similar setup on mine and it lets me kinda fiddle with it to try different flows.

    I agree with Mudd. But, I also believe "the customer is always right". That is if ya wanna sell stuff. Right or wrong, he lost some business because you somehow offended him by "not showing him respect". Maybe he's not in it for the money. . . :thinking: Scenerio: The same guy hires...
