Here's 2 videos. 92 Gallon 1, Overflow noise. 92 Gallon 2, Overflow noise.
Should I add a ball valve to slow down the exiting of the water from the overflow box?
As you can see, I tossed a siphoning hose into the overflow box just to see what it would do and it made a tremendous difference. Although, it's...
I'm currently in the process of building a 92 gallon corner. Yesterday I plumbed and built a 20 gallon sump/refugium. I'm using a Eshoppes PF800...
Haha. Yes, that's what I meant. Using an overflow box, but wouldn't the box run at it's max rating? I.E. 500gph. If that is the case and the overflow...
Just a thought... It would be going in a tank that would be beginning a cycle. With my skimmer doing it's job and tank cycling, would it be worth it...
I'm referring to the piping or hose that will be draining into the sump from the aquarium/overflow. If the hose is submerged, the flow coming out of...
Haha. I was thinking I could just rinse it and roll with it since I'd be placing this in a brand new setup, but sounds like it's too much to it.
Very helpful. So I can get a pump that supports the overflows max and below. I.E. Overflow rated at 500gph, a 250gph pump is just fine? Now, that's...
Any reason why this wouldn't be a good deal? Should I be leery? It appears to have some hair algae growing and he mentioned that the tank had been...
I'm purchasing either a 20 or 30 gallon aquarium today to build a sump/refugium. The biggest concern of mine is matching the flow of siphon coming...
Fans are a breeze to upgrade, btw.
Thank goodness for surge protectors. ;D On a serious note. Many don't realize there is an obvious difference between a power strip and a surge. I...
Yes, one of them I purchased for my 40 breeder. Although, the idea is for input on the setup and light itself. I currently use the 36" on my 40...
Any input on this light? I have a T5 x 4 (39W) on my 40 breeder currently that works just fine. It was actually much more than I had expected. This...
What type of overflow is that? How do you like it?
Haha, that's true. More brownish, huh? Although, the beach's (VA Beach) sand is probably just about the same color.
So you've setup a tank with local beach sand? What about grabbing sand from the local James river? Salt water it is. Right off of Yorktown Beach....
I heard the bacteria can be bottle purchased, is that correct?
Great, thanks for the link. What about their "dry" rock? Once it's mixed with good bacterias, it's then considered "live?"
