Thanks ralphie

Ok, I've been debating this 600 gph overflow situation with a guy at an lfs. I've found an overflow on ebay that says it won't lose siphon in a power outage (for hours), then when power comes back...

Thanks again rusty! Another question for you, in respect to the tubing that comes from the overflow, does it stick down into the water of the first baffle? If so, how far down? Is there a certain...

Good suggestions rusty

How do you place eggcrate against the last baffle? Do I silicone it to the baffle? I would assume that's the case. Could I make the last baffle even smaller (right now it's 11" high) to 7" (again...

Sump Design

Here is my sump design so far. The sump is a 15 gallon tall (20L X 10W X 18H). I'll have a 600 gph overflow and for the return pump I'll have an Ocean Runner 2500 (@ 4.5 feet of head). Also, the...

Pump

Would a Quiet One 2200 be ok for the sump (5' of head) along with an overflow rated for 600 gallons/hour?

Thanks again for everyone's input.

aquarius

I am using distilled water, so I can't see why I would need to get an RO/DI, except possibly over the long run it would be cheaper. As for feeding my 2 clownfish, I feed them just one time before...

One predicament I have with adding a sump. Under my stand has only 11" of room from front to back. A 20 gal long tank needs 12 1/4 inches, which won't fit. So, can you point me in the right...

If i did do the sump, what pump would only cost me $25 and not break a week later?

DIY

I have no problem doing DIY stuff, and if I can't do it, I have a father-in-law who can help out. So what would your ideas be as to what you would do?

Skimmate

I do get some skimmate and since I haven't tried any other skimmer on my tank, I have no idea if I'm getting enough out compared to other skimmers.

Sipunculans

What you probably have are sipunculans. It's common to have them in live rock. I have some in mine, and they extend out of holes in the rock at night.

I'm thinking about making the switch also. Did you just shovel out the CC and replace it with sand a little at a time over a few days or weeks, or what?

Thanks
