But then we are back to that other debate.... filtering 10% of the waste out of 100 gph is the same as, filtering 100% of the waste out of 10 gph. In...
Word! You know what... maybe you can help me out. I have read all the debates between hi and low flow. What I took from it was that in reality it...
Cool. Ya there are champions of both... I was more in the middle, the super low did not seem right for me... but there was no denying 20 years of...
I have actually never heard that. You remember Tangster always being on the low flow side... but I seem to remember him saying 10x actual fuge...
A lot of people read info and look at this hobby as a cookie cutter hobby that you just do a and b and c and whala... you really need to understand...
You are only concerned about the fuge since you split it. A good place to start is 10x "actual" fuge volume per hour. Figure that out with actual...
OK, cool. Not exactly ideal, but you just need to understand the down side. If anything clogs up the drain strainer, then you can overflow the...
Larger diameter has less velocity and will reduce friction losses. It does not "increase back pressure" or effect the pump at all. What you want to...
That's cool... and the one thing I have never had was a overflow box. I saw your aqualifter.... but just so we are clear.... are you pumping into the...
I'll see if I can find a pic....
So I am not sure what I am looking at. What is the white tube sticking out of the sump... not the drain line, the other one? Is it just sitting there...
First, I would be interested in why it seems like a good idea... I mean the things you heard. There is no skimmer manufactureer that will tell...
Ya, and your thoughts are not far off mine.... what i have learned is that no matter how much I try to theorize what is the perfect way to do...
Awesome. I don't want to sound like it has to be "this" way or else... we all know there is a wide range of how to do things and it is all...
That is a very power hungry way to do it. So we want good flow in the display tank to keep detritus suspended so it can be filtered out. Filtering...
But you are recircing back to the sump that gives no benefit. So the additional flow is not that much. Now it is certainly possible that your flow...
People get confused about this because they think of a fuge as one box that does 100 things. It's isn't. Flows depend on what you are trying...
OK... so not to get hung up on semantics, but this is no where near a Herbie overflow, or operates on the same principles as Herbie/Bean.... and it...
So do you have any other info on this setup? It is not really making sense. The overflow box in a Herbie is used for regulation. It has a self...
GFIs are to save your life, not your equipment's. And breakers do not save your equipment, they keep your house from burning down. They protect the...
