Evo restricting the pump with a ball valve does not harm it at all. Prob 99% or all of the pumps for aquariums are made to run this way ( restricted ). I get your thinking by teeing the excess flow back into the sump, but its only increasing the flow in the sump and making it easier for micro...

The whole pipe in the overflow is too high. It shouldnt be stickin out of the tank. Id cut about 2 1/2 inches or so off of it. you should have like a 1-3 inch drop into the overflow ( overflow level should be 1-3 inch lower than display, it will still be quiet ). The pipe in the overflow should...

oh.... you could just Email mythbusters to do a show on it ;D

Yeah for mh k determins the color, 10k white-20k blue. I just thought one of those cheap clip on 150w mh lights would be good for a frag tank. Operating cost arent that bad with 1 - 150 mh. If only for frags no need to worry about all the differ bulb combos you can have with t-5, it would only...

Exactly. You can get one of those cheap clip on 150w mh lights. You have to worry about one bulb thats it. Its only a frag tank, you put a 10, 12, or 14k on there and its fine

You need a baffle, bucket, or pipe wit holes drilled in it ( bubble trap). Look up bubble trap

Natural bully's, good at it too

!50w de mh for the 20 frag tank

Looks good, how old the tank

My friend has a flame and a coral beauty in a 62? 72? one of those corner tanks. their always fine

Yeah, I'm reluctnnt cause I'm still stalling on my personal website... The colors are looking better every day, so I suppose when I get back from this trip I will take some pix. Mine only look good from the top down, my front of the tank pix look awful. Thats funny cause its the same here. Ill...

inches? thats a short falll it should be quiet then

Yeah i tried the xm 15k in a de 150w, it was terrble. Very dark bulb. Their 20k and the reeflux 20 k look great, Dont know about long term though. I know 2 people that went from 10k to 20k. One of them loves it and corals are still doing great, the other said after a few weeks he had to go back...

How much higher is the water in your display than the water in your overflow?

Thats a lot of flow goin one way, Id put one on the opposite side or maybe one on the back wall. I know my corals have done better since i changed my flow to be more random from all directions instead of just mostly one way. I dont understand when you say the water level in your dt dropped and...

Yeah i think like you, Might just buy 2 tubes of it and spend the extra 15 dollars to ensure a problem free future

You heed to fill your tank till it will start to come out overflow drains. Then fill your sump to the fill line or a few inches above your pumps intake. Turn the valve on the drain line all the way open. Leave the valve on the pump all the way open. Now turn on pump. If the tank starts to fill...

Simple solution for you. Buy it at the depot and keep your reciept. You can return it no problem for i think at least 30 days. should be plenty of time for you to mess around ;) Depot is great for returns, being in construction im always returning stuff never a problem. Just say you didnt need...

I love the internal as well. Had a mag 12 on my 120 it was great, plus no worry about a leaky shaft seal or anything cause it will only go back into your sump. For a 90g id just get a mag 9.5 or mag 12. You could prob go with the 12 or 18 and have plenty to run your skimmer and return. All for...

Just make sure your lights are off or they'll burn up. mine use to be out for 5-10 mins always were fine
