You could put a strainer on the bulkhead going to the pump. Or, if you have an in sump pump, on the pump. Here are examples of strainers: http://www.glass-holes.com/category.sc?categoryId=22

I think some of what you are asking boils down to personal preference.  To go canopy or no canopy. Now, for my random thoughts: To quote you, your current canopy is “fugly.”  Is there a chance you could re-work that canopy by adding new doors, some molding, a new paint job?  You already have a...

That is the same day as the NJRC monthly meeting. This month it is being held in Little Silver. If interest, register to attend (non members are welcome), and stop in. It’s always the newbies who win all the raffles anyway. Happy Birthday! Meeting Info...

Here's something similar, but it is an in-sump pump. Note the tee comes off the return line and returns excess flow to the refugium on the right. Out of view is the valve at the end of that perpendicular line. Hope this clears it up:

First off I would not attempt to meter a pump by using a filter sock. Address the actual problem. It sounds like one of three things: Pump too big. Sump too small. Feed from the display too slow. If you want to live with what you have now, I would put a tee in the return line (coming from the...

Ferrigini…..lol Just for clarification, two cars; one a Ferrari 430 and the other a Lamborghini. Each one of these cars sells for over 200K. I don’t know about you, but the last time I looked in my driveway, none of my vehicles sell for 200K. For that fact, all seven cars I own don’t total up...

As a chemist, I can tell you that there are hundreds, if not thousands of different carbons available...differing in size, porosity and origin of materials. As far as what we’re using...the one from the group buy. I think another carbon / phosban group buy is coming up next month.

Hey Mike, I’m in discussions with the Smithsonian right now about displaying this antique beauty behind glass. I can’t complain…it still cuts. The one problem is that it is not the typical 7 ¼ inch blade, but 6 ½. It makes finding blades a little tough. A little history about adding the extra...

I’ve got to agree with malulu….durso style standpipe. We put the durso style standpipe right into the overflow. You don’t even need to glue it up. You can just friction fit the couple pieces together and you’re good to go. Just rests in there…not threaded in…and really quieted it down. Here’s...

Wow, the naysayers are plentiful! As far as I can tell the owner hasn’t lifter a finger on this build, short of selling somewhere in the area of 300 – 400 thousand dollars worth of car. This build is being done by a professional company. The person responding to Monster is one of the builders...

Yea, unfortunately you're seeing the reflection of the three windows on the back wall of the room.

I’ve been following this build over on MonsterFishKeepers for the past six months. The owner lives in NY and sold his Ferrari 430 and Lamborghini Gallardo to fund the build…and fit the setup in his garage. It is 4000 gallons and the tank goes from floor to ceiling. Note, the corals are all...

NO! Actually, with the stand being four foot, you could have used a 2 x 4 as a top brace.  You are overbuilt right now.  Looks good! You might want to put one center stretcher between the two top rails...even thought they are 2x6, you could just use 2x4...unless you are going to add a plywood top.

I remember Crusader Rabbit, Speed Racer and……AstroBoy. I liked when he walked. He made this blooop, bloooop, bloooop sound when he walked.

Hawk, my apologies….I’m colorblind….and I guess just regularly blind as well. When you magnify the little buggers you can now see the segments typical to Chitons. So I’m now in agreement to what you have. See the segments: Still don’t know what Jenn has??

Hawk, The two that I’m able to see look like limpets to me. Chitons do not have a continuous shell but overlapping plates…..similar to a sow bug (woodlouse). And I have no guess what Jenn has???

Mike has it right….For us old guys who still remember the ‘60’s.  I just can’t remember if it was a comic or tv show?

I don’t know if they have the best price, but over $15, shipping is free. Their 1” are $7 while their 1 ½” are $8 a piece. www.glass-holes.com

But Jerzsky, how will you get the water from your 90 down to your 40 sump? Are you planning on an HOB overflow box or will you drill the tank for an internal overflow? That’s the question.
