    Clownfish Territory

    At some point yes. I just added a yellow tang from my QT over the weekend and that guy doesn't move far from a certain spot (of his choosing) as well. You can never get fish to do what you want...

    Clownfish Territory

    Plenty of live rock. Maybe they'll move down with the addition of corals?

    Clownfish Territory

    Hello once again salt people, I have a question about 2 Ocellaris Clowns I've had for 2 months. Since day one they don't venture out of the top corners (either side) of my 75g tank. Never once did I see them swim at or near the bottom. Is this normal behavior? They eat well and are healthy, but...

    Too Much Sump Flow?

    Yeah, do I live with the sump return chamber water level being way to high? If I do that the protein skimmer compartment with be too high as well. What about reducing the overall system (DT & sump) water level? Just thinking out loud.

    Too Much Sump Flow?

    Hello people, I'm looking to decrease the flow going through my sump. I have a 75 gallon tank, CPR internal overflow going into a 1" bulkhead with a ball valve (opened 100%) plumbed in. I also have a Ecotech M1 DC return pump. How do I slow down the flow rate? Do I just simply partially close...

    EcoTech Marine Vortech

    Quick question (or two) 2quills, As I recall the pump has a nighttime mode. Is it a predetermined set time? Do you use it?

    EcoTech Marine Vortech

    Hello All, I'm looking to purchase a couple new power heads. My current two Aqueon 950gph powerheads are less than desirable. I have them connected to a Hydor Wavemaker and every time one gets turned on it makes a banging sound. I would think it could frighten a fish or two (don't have any in...

    Automatic Return Pump Shut Off/ Turn On

    I hear ya 2quills, but I thought of that and placed the Tunze ATO float switch in the DT (the optical sensor in the return chamber). Smart eh? lol

    Automatic Return Pump Shut Off/ Turn On

    I think I have a decent pump (Sicce 3.0). Hopefully it has that feature.

    Automatic Return Pump Shut Off/ Turn On

    I have a Tunze ATO. My concern is what if the drain line get clogged? (thus no flow to the sump) and the return pump keeps running (draining the return chamber) and the pump keeps running. It would be nice to have the pump shut off at that point.

    Automatic Return Pump Shut Off/ Turn On

    Hello All, Anybody have or have an idea on how to shut off a return pump if the return chamber runs dry? (then turns on when filled). I have a standard AC pump. Thanks!

    Finnex Heater w/ Digital Controller

    I've had my 300W version of this heater running for just shy of a week now. Set-up was a little less than intuitive, but once it reached operating temperature, it's been working flawlessly. Obviously long term remains to be seen, but from the looks of it's build quality, I think the Finnex...

    Durso

    One last question guys (I promise...lol). What if I replaced the ribbed flex tube that came with my Eshopps sump with glued pvc? (as far as better/quieter flow). Thanks!

    Durso

    Thanks for all the input guys. I did think about a second bulk head, but I have the tank up and running nicely (minus the slightly annoying rushing water sounds coming out of the bulk head, going into the t-connection). At least I'm not getting the loud gurgling anymore. Anyone use a sound...

    Durso

    I currently have a simple CPR internal overflow box with a 1" bulkhead going into a 90 degree elbow, into a ball valve, then down to the sump. It's relatively quiet if I choke off the flow ever so slightly to keep the bulkhead opening submerged. Seems like the Durso method is popular for some...

    Durso

    So standard air line tubing would suffice I assume?
