Re: Sump water level - Update Update... Okay still haven't figured this out. Any ideas? I don't see any leaks. Anyone in the Hazlet area that's familiar with sumps can stop by and look. Maybe you can figure it out since I can't. Mark

Had friend come over that does plumbing and concluded the water level was to low in the tank. Probably from evaporation, Rich you did state that. I topped it off and so far it seems to be staying level. Thanks everyone for all the help.

The overflow is internal. The pump only says Surge 3500. The vertical hieght is about 4 / 4.5 feet and horizontally about 2 feet.

Well I haven't figured it out exactly. Been up most of the night adjusting the ball valve but no matter what the return still gets lower. Is it possible the pump is just to powerfull and no amount of changing will help?

Think I figured it out to thanks Matt. Putting and moving stuff around by the sump I accidentally hit the ball valve. Opened more than I had before. So it was pumping more water than was coming down. Guess I'll stay up another hour or so to make sure it's okay now.

Rich, No leak or evaporation. It's only been up for about 3 or 4 hours. Matt, I just thought of that and marked it so will have to see. I am using a filter sock which became filty. I assumed that it proevented the water flow some so took it out and rinsed it best I could.

Setup the 75 with a 30 gallon sump. I marked the water level for the inlet and return chambers. After a few hours now the return chamber has less water and its getting lower as time goes on. Anyone have any idea why? Am afraid it will cause a disater while I'm a sleep. Thanks, mark

I have CBS and it hasn't bothered anything in my tank. It comes out at night and when it smells food.

When I go to a pet store and see sale people trying to the sell the world at once to a customer I open my mouth. So many times I see people buying a tank, filter, etc, and a bunch of fish. I tell them forget the fish for now and spend a good amount of time explaining why. My 11 year old is a...

Harry, I agree and probably would have said something to the manager. I would have to guess that they hired some company to setup and maintain the tank, obviously not a good one. Write that letter and send it to the main office. What's the worst that can happen; they don't respond. Heck maybe...

I've been tempted many times to get a Heni but never have. If I upgrade my tank will consider it. Do you know if it's true they do best in a group than single. Mark

Carlo, Why not get a Heni. They are similar in appearance. Mark

Carlo, That was my ace in the hole. Mark

I'll post some but not sure how well they will come out.

Neighbor's mowing service snagged my fence near the bottom and pulled it. The owner and agreed up to $100 for repair without receipt. The fence companies say it's to small a job. If anyone knows how to fix it let me know. It needs to be pulled down about 10 inches to reach the bottom pole. It...

Came home from vacation last week and water was ll over the kitchen floor from the fridge. I thought it was the copper tubing and connections for the water/ice maker. So I replaced all of it Sunday. Woke up today and guess what more water. I think it's leaking from the inside near the ice maker...

That last comment about Ocean Gallery was extremely funny. I strongly doubt they will unless you have a very good association with them. Mine did that and looking closely at it I saw very thin filamnets hanging off. I used Stop Parasites by Chem Marin but still didn't make it.

Ralph, Initially sounds like your power supply went. You should have just bought another instead of a box. As stated prior does the monitor have power? If so I would guess your hard drive went but can't be sure without looking at it. Mark

That place truly sucks. I have never seen any healthy fish in there and never bought any. I always felt the prices were high. I used to but fresh water fish from them but even those would die in a day or two. Never had this problem from other places including those pet store chains. Mark
