Thanks Ed but I need something simple. That sump had so many holes drilled.

Thanks for the advise. Since I am upgrading in the next few weeks I don't think its worth the trouble. I will get a new sump for the 120g. I will just do weekly water changes and hope all is good. If not I have a HOB Coralife 125 I can throw on temporarily.

It seems my sump under the stand is leaking; at least I hope its that and not DT. I noticed water on the floor this morning and checked, everything looked good except the tank was very full while sump was low. I adjusted the float as it seemed stuck and went on my way. Shortly after I hear the...

Jim, Thanks for the info. I was hoping to get by with one pump. In this pic you can see part of one overflow on the left side.

As I plan out my upgrade I was wondering how do I know the the overflow rate of the built-in overflows of the 120g tank? I have a Mag9 pump and not sure if it is strong enough.

Skimmer uo and running. Old one was stripped for parts.

Pump arrived today. Put everything together; placed in a bucket of water and seems fine. Should I run it for a few hours in the bucket to get any oil out or just drop it in the sumo and let it go?

Gone. Rich, Good seeing you again and hope the filters works out for you. Thanks for offering the loan of your spare skimmer. That is what this club is about helping each other. Hopefully, I will be okay until the new pump arrives.

Guess I will have to order a new pump. tried the washer trick but no good. The pump seems hot when you take it out of the water so am thinking its fried. Not sure how hot these pumps get though.

I found the replacement pump at Sea Side Aquatics for $60 plus $8 shipping. Anyplace cheaper?

Paul, Thanks for the info. This impeller is not the mesh but pin/needle wheel type. I guess I can try a few plastic washers and see what happens.

It looks fine to me.

I have a Nac-7 skimmer and today the pump stopped working, Atman 2500. I took the skimmer apart and cleaned the pump, which was clean anyway. No broken parts even the ceramic shaft is okay. It will start pumping for a few minutes and then stop any ideas? Mark

Rich, It's yours. Send me your phone number and we can work out pick up.

Looking for a pump for the pond at least 500gph. Also, need something like an OSI or Laguna. You know with the slots/vents on the intake side. The feeder fish are getting sucked into the Mag pump and sometimes the turtles foot gets stuck. Tried a pre-filter sponge but restricted the flow...

I don't have room to store this and will not be using it in my upgrade. As always members get first dibs. If nobody here wants it will post on DBTC.

I agree with Phil. I tried to keep a small group of 5 clowns and one by one they were singled out and died until I had a pair.

Two things caught my attention in that video. 1) If the end cap hole is to small he stated it will create a siphon and drain the tank. To big and it makes noise so its trial and error there. 2) He said he would give approximate GPH for the overflow depending in size of PVC but he never did. I...
