In theory, an under over under design should work better. Bubbles will be less at the bottom already. However, the problems with micro bubble put out...
Are you putting the Tunze in the second chamber??? That is not where you want it.
I would venture a guess that your alk is not reliable and you making snow. Your alk is real low but you have high PH and your Ca is high. Something...
Ya but that is just the warning buzzer. I turned mine off. My pump still turns off after 5-10 minutes and the red light comes on. I don't need the...
Crap, good catch. Tru Dat.
Absolutely... that is how most do it. A closed loop for tank circulation, overflow to sump for filtering. Two different things. But a closed loop to...
I would never get a mesh wheel. Mesh does increase air draw and water, but improper jobs can give start up problems. Mesh will last about 6 months or...
The skimmer section seems fine. There really is no need to make it a certain size, just big enough for the skimmer or any future skimmer that would...
Oh ya... another important, but maybe overlooked thing about closed loop... in a true closed loop, there is no chance for water loss other than if a...
I don't see it. In order for all 3 sides to overflow seems a complicated way of doing it. If you read about Calfos coast to coast, it will talk about...
Mine has no problem. I just take the pump out of my jug and stickit the other one. Even if it is air bound it will eventually get going. Again, same...

What you are talking about is "closed loop". Many do closed loop. Some don't like it. But here is a thought.... there are some that believe flow is...
Yes you need a new skimmer. My first recommendation is anything powered by a Laguna 1500 based pump. ATB 10.5, SWC 250/300A. If you are stuck on...
So lets see if I have this right... you have a sump and a fuge with buzzy Mag2....you also have a Whisper filter... you want to run the mag everynow...

Sand bed should be 4-6". You do not need pods...you already have them. Cheato and Mangroves provide the same function... you don't need both. LR...
Cool.
I can't find that guy. It was in his sig and I PMed him about it. That was some time ago. Searching RC for some info does not bring much up other...
