Thanks for the skematic. I like the idea of the sprinkler . That would kind of create a wave effect. I'll look into that.
This should work...left to right are: return, low tide overflow, high tide overflow. To limit the noise at low tide, loc-line will be aimed below the...
lol. Now I get it. But the tank will never be fully drained. Low tide will be about one quarter to half full.
Thanks fishyfinder. What does that last part mean? lol.
Oh I guess I wouldn't need an extra tank...works for me! :D For some reason I was thinking a couldn't use my sump. Duh-uh! :P::) That makes it...
I think I see what you mean. It sounds like you are just suggesting that the "tide" pump be in the display instead of my reserve/reservoir ? Your...
...Be back in a bout a half hour. I've gotta do some laundry; then I'll get working on that sketch! hahaha

Thanks for the compliment.
That question comes up pretty often actually - you're not the first to ask lol. But I don't believe it has come up in this thread. 1. Dad's overly...
I have sand and rocks. As of now, inhabitants will be hermit crabs and nerite(sp?) snails. I don't know if I will have any fish. Coral will be added...
I am going to set up a 6.5g tank that I want to tie into my 29g reef/10g sump system. This new pico will be a tide pool tank - dimensions are 20" X...

That's correct, it's " 3reef " but it is in all caps-lock though...that's for 10% off any order.
If your skimmer is capable of being used as a HOB, then you could run it that way without the sump, if it makes you feel better.
