    Mushroom?? What kind??

    Do you *know* there was a mushroom on it? Was it colored, etc? If you answered no to either of those questions, it may just be a sponge. Purple up...

    55g Build.. *first SW tank

    Maybe I missed you mentioning it, but it looks like you are missing the bracing from the top of the tank. I've got the same tank, and it has a...

    the VanSiphon

    Nice! Looks like you have a good flow for a 20g setup! Are those caps that you used normal plumbing caps? I can't say as that I've seen them,...

    the VanSiphon

    Looks good so far! What kind of endcaps are you using for the 2"PVC? Looks a lot smaller, which is nice. Does it have the strength to hold? There...

    the VanSiphon

    Yes! If you look at the diagram, the drop tube (labeled #2) inside the 2" pipe is the water level that is needed to keep the siphon going....

    the VanSiphon

    I'm not sure about the surface tension part, but the "hump pipe" and the trapped water is spot on.:)

    the VanSiphon

    No...the dry side has to be open to the air, thus the air spigot with the tube. You want the siphon to exist between the pool of water in the...

    the VanSiphon

    I couldn't get it to siphon well. I don't know why. Perhaps it was because I had the pipe terminating underwater in my sump. The only way it ran...

    Interestingly enough the siphon failed when the pump went dry...I think either there was an evaporation issue (can't imagine how) or too many...
