you could get a bag of some larger grade and just put it on top to keep it from blowing instead of taking the sugar sand out. Keep ya from wasting the money on the fine sand.

you could syphon water out as you pump water in, so that your waterlevel doesn't change much.

i plumbed everything with the same size as my bulkheads, 1". I think 3/4" would cut your flow too much. JMO

get some large plastic bins or a big new garbage can, and remove as much water as possible. It'll make it much easier, and safer for the tank. It's not too hard especially since your just going into another room not another house. What i did when i moved was used a garbage can, filled it with...

how much is your overflow rated for? you'll want to try to match that with your return pump. The return won't be enough for the whole tank probably. You'll have to supplement flow with a closed loop setup or powerheads. Head is basically the distance from the pump to the returns. It's pressure...

it sounds like your running your sump with too little water. What size tank is this? 2800lph is only 750gph, split by 2 outlets is only 375 per outlet. Plus your losing some pressure due to head. Your probably only getting somewhere in the mid 200's gph out of each head. Don't know your setup...

first off welcome to the boards!! i would just plug in some powerheads. It will settle over time. It can take a while. What kind of flow do you have in there?

I'd say too close to the lights. JMO Sorry about your loss. How fast did it die? Within days?

I have a yellow and pac blue tang. I've been leaving some algae on a clip pretty much everyday. Just wondering if it needs to be done everyday, once a week or what. Not really sure. I also have other things to feed. Flake, pellets, and some frozen foods. I've never had a tang before so i'm not...

good ole razor blade!

With such a small volume of water in a drip acclimation, the temp of the house will have an effect. I open my doors and let the house warm up a bit. Or turn the air off before i go to get any new coral or fish. Nate

Nordy has it right. After i hooked them up that way 2 of the 3 worked right away. Pretty easy. Although now the problem is with that 3rd one. I don't know what's wrong. I checked all teh connections. I switched the quick disconnects thinking maybe i had a bad bulb but the problem followed the...

it's a new 250w Ballast. Factory connections. It came with the quick disconnect. I thought about just cutting off the female and directly wiring it, but didn't want to mess up something brand new, especially since i've got the parts for it! Nate

I can't figure out how to wire this new icecap quick disconnect receptacle. It didn't come with any instructions. All that is labeled is an L and a N. Any help would be extremely appreciated!! Pictures would be great. Thanks for the help Nate
