My sump is in my stand below my tank and I was having a similar issue when I first setup my Tunze Osmo. Whenever the pump kicked on, it would continue filling the sump until the water level in my container was level with the end of the output tube. The solution was simple and exactly as Brian...

I'm looking to upgrade my 75, so might be interested in Tank/Stand/Canopy combo if you're willing to sell just that. I don't need lights, sump or any equipment. Can you please post a price as per the forum rules?

Ugh! They need to get a clue. :concern:

LOL... I'm sure he seriously did consider that too. :o

Thanks for the update Jim. I hope your taking pics to share.

That's really amazing! I hope they do this in a bunch of other dive sites as well. Scuba diving without getting wet. ;) Thanks for sharing Kevin.

John, so you're basically asking what's the best time to test for alk, cal, and mag? IMO, if you're trying to establish a baseline for dosing purposes, the best thing to do is to take 1 in the morning, 1 in afternoon, then one at night... and then average the 3 for each test. That will account...

Welcome Laura, Murph, and Neil. :triumphant:

Cool! Can't wait to hear these guys at the Swap.

Cool looking turtle Chris. I'd name him Fred. :encouragement:

Cool vid. Thanks Phil.

I grabbed a few of each size at the meeting... thank you very much! Thanks for the raffle donations too. I won the candy cane and the zoas and they both look great.

That is a great sized tank for seahorses. Do you also run a chiller?

Now for a few shots of members, family, and friends having a good time... NikkiT is admiring Brian's (Thermosts) new baby girl. (I didn't take any photos of the baby in case they didn't want any public photos of her. She was adorable though... congrats you two!) Here's the spread of...

OK, first here are a few tank shots... As you can see from these next few, Herbie likes a lil flow in his tank. :o Now a few closeups of his beautiful fish (sorry, I didn't even get them all)... Herbie's tank was so crowded that he decided to start sticking frags...

Thank you Herbie and Anne for another fantastic meeting. Herb, the tank looked awesome and Anne took care of entertaining in the kitchen like a seasoned pro. Loved the chili, baked pasta, burgers... but the setup of flavored oils that Anne put out for dipping the bread was over the top! Pam...

Sounds like you need to close off any large holes leading into your overflows to prevent this from happening again later. ;) Good luck with the sock trick. Just be prepared that when you do that, you will get a fast inflow of water to your sump that may overflow it. I'd suggest doing the...

I started with felt socks and then switched to mesh just because they're so much easier to clean. I also agree with Jim that felt does seem to catch more debris, but unless you just throw them in the washer, they're much harder to clean by hand. Personally, since I have a good skimmer, bio...

+2 I do that with my BM NAC7 as well. I should probably order a backup pump for mine too. It's been running great for a long time (still using the original mesh wheel) but I hear plenty of bad stories about the atman pumps to not be prepared.

How did I beat the Raffle King? I better keep an eye on my cooler on the ride home, lol.
