    Hot water

    I have 1 big dolphin pump in the sump. It says it pushes 2200 gph before head loss. I think its probably close because when i open the gate valve on my return line wide open it blows the sand all through the tank. I have 160 gallons of water with the DT and the sump. I dont know how long it...

    For a while i thought i was going to have fish for dinner but every body seems to be ok. I forgot that i also have an 18 watt uv sterilizer running 24/7.

    Filter Sock?????

    Just make sure that you get enough socks so you can switch them out every few days. I only got what i needed the first time and had to by more from the internet because my LFS was double the price on the same sock. They work great.
