The water level in my display is roughly at the midway point on the top slots of the overflow about 1" form the top of the tank. I have attached a pic above that i have which shows the return portion of my sump. it's the best pic i can provide until i can take one toniteI wanted the fuge section...

i like Phyl's idea on the markings and i plan on using them. I still havent decided on what i'm going to do with the pump. I'm leaning towards selling it. It's a shame that i'm even thinking about selling it. It ran for 15 minutes so i can check for leaks. I am so disgusted right now. Harry

I don't have any issues with leaving only 2-3" , but how will adding more water make the return chamber not run dry, i'm a little confused. Harry

Would that solve the issue of the return chamber draining??

when the pump is off and all the water drains into the sump ( all the live water) I still have about 6" to spare, but i don't think that will solve the issue. I will try it tonite, but i think i will have to go with a smaller pump. The only reason i went with the 70D is because i wanted to be...

Hello all, I have completed plumbing my new 215 and aside from 2 small leaks it went pretty smoothly with no major catastrophes. Now to my dilemma. I have a 75G acrylic sump and the return pump i am using is the Blueline 70D 1750GPH rating. When the pump is on and running with the ball valve...

I completely agree with Davek on this one. I would remove all fish and treat in a QT. Good luck Harry

i found them at lowes and HD. I think it depends on when you go or which one you go to Harry

I get mine from seatrademarine.com. He's a local jersey guy in Medford NJ. Nice guy to deal with and you can pick it up so you save money on shipping. He has a nice selection also. Good luck with whatever you decide. Harry

Sorry to hear about it. A freshwater dip will not do anything about the Ich except stress the tang out even more. I would recommend removing ALL your fish and treating them with either hyposalinity or copper in a seperate QT. DO NOT EVER TREAT YOUR DISPLAY TANK. They are the only 2 proven...

Thanks for all the input. I am using the bulkheads that came with the overflow kits. i am using the universal for the returns because the regular 3/4" bulkhead looked to small for the whole. Both holes in the bottom of the tank are the same and i was nervous about leaks because there would be a...

I am using teflon tape, I can't seem to determine if it's leaking where the bulkhead is tighened against the glass or at the adapter that is threaded on. Is there anything i can use to see where it is leaking?? Harry

Hello all, I recently connected all my plumbing on my 215 and i have a small leak on both of my return lines. First some back ground. MY retuns are 3/4 inch. I have 1" lines coming to my return bulkhead and it is being reduced at the bulkhead. The pipe inside the overflow is 3/4". Is the small...
