    sump/overflow help

    I'll take a picture of the setup to give you an idea of the drains. I'm going to go and see if I can get a piece of small airline tubing and put it in the durso top. I don't really have a waterfall sound so much as it is the sound of a hot tub bubbling noise. The water falling into the...

    sump/overflow help

    I recently setup my 135, I have a 30 gallon sump w/ a mag 18 return that has a ball valve restricting flow. For the life of me I can't figure out why the sump is so loud. It sounds like a freaking hot tub fizzling bubbles. I have a very small hole drilled in the top of the durso standpipe top...

    Brandon's WTH was I thinking 125 gallon madness

    For a second I thought you meant the leak would be really really bad. It is just a drip drip type, not really crazy, but thanks for the advice. So tonight I added my sand and cleaned up the sump and moved the heaters to it. Tomorrow I'm building a panel to mount my surge protectors and I'm...

    Fish stores in NORTH, NJ?

    OgerHanover pet is trash. Absolutely fish is good for fish, reef encounters dry goods, ocean galley everything. Personally I live in Caldwell and I make the trip to og every 2 weeks. The service and selection of corals is hard to match. I might take a ride down to AO. But can't beat og

    So plumbing is fixed 100%, there is a small leak from one of the return lines connected to a barb that comes off the pump, but it drips back into the sump so I am not too worried. I think I goofed by cutting my standpipe about 1/2" so that the very top sits just inline with the rim of the...
