Hello, my name is Thomas and I am frustrated.
I just started a sump and refugium. They are made out of two Rubbermaid tubs. It's a good idea gone awry. I think my main problem is the crappy CPR overflow, I've just fooled with it too much. I know I could just figure out the problem, maybe get a new (read "good") overflow, but it's just not worth it. By next week the sump and refugium will be no longer. With the dsb in my main tank I've had no nitrates ever (for about 7 months now) then I decided to add a refugium. I guess I just liked the idea mainly. Anyway, I don't think it's adding anything but a headache, and I don't need any more of those. Last night I came home and the water level had risen to the top of the glass top and, given a couple more hours, would have overflowed into the floor. The overflow box was still chugging along but had picked up some air, thus restricting the water flow a bit. This is the second time that's happened. I know a sump and refugium has worked great for many people, but it doesn't look like it's for me.
Thanks for listening. It feels good.
