    Another Drilling question

    I just picked up a used 55g today to make a sump. Can I drill out the end panel to plumb my external return pump to it that way? Im kinda concerned about vibration from the pump causing the glass to crack, should I be worried? Escape

    Oceana or Bang, or anyone else that may know

    I was told by my lfs that you can use baby brine shrimp to feed baby clownfish. What do you think about that? They got me to buy a hatcher that mounts inside the tank and as the tiny brine shrimp hatch they exit the hacther and go into the MT to be consumed by the newly hatched fish. I tried it...

    How LOUD is your standpipe?

    I have been tweaking the overflow on my reef tank for days now. No matter what I do there is still noise from the overflow/standpipes. I have made both durso & stockman styles with no luck. I adjust the heights & air valves with no luck. The only way I can make it silent is by closing the ball...

    Durso or Stockman, which is better?

    I have been using a stockman standpipe for awhile now but it still will "gurgle" every so often. I was thinking about trying a durso style standpipe instead, do you think it will be quieter? Which design is better? Which is more common? Thanks in advance. Escape :happyfish
