I'm looking into it as well. It makes sense, the sump is essentially a filter. Why have water rushing through as quick as possible? The way I have...
Hey all, from John's thread, and he has a 75gal w/30 sump. (thanks John)
I just use an excel spreadsheet. I dont have any of these fancy-dancy controllers... yet;D
It's being asked in the 90 gal forum, but people are wondering what you run as a retun pump in reference to your sump flow comments?
Well, at any rate, I'm really looking forward to see how you recover. Keep us in the loop, it will be a good reference if/when any of our tanks head...
Lol. But I'd rather have his experience talk to us rather than us learn through failure. I was looking at return pumps in the range of about...
Somehow I missed your post... dang, sorry to hear. I can't imagine how pee'd off you must be. Soooo... where'd you bury the body, or is it on the...
Very nice tank... it's grown so much since birth!
Wait, so you're saying 6-10x sump volume? So in that case, I'd need a return capable of less than 250gph??? My skimmer's pump is 250gph... Mine's...

Great post! Karma to ya!
A glass lid will prevent the water from expelling CO2 and absorbing oxygen, resulting in a lower pH. FYI, phosphate and pH are not the same. People...
I think you guys are convincing me of swapping out returns as well. My rio HF32 is an energy hog... and in these hot summer months (gets to 110 here)...
Alk stays at 10, I dose twice weekly to keep it there (not a huge demand yet). Temp swings 3-4 degree F, more than i'd like. Stupid return pump is...
Great pics and PE as usual! We are all such nerds... ;D
I, too, am guessing it's a bacteria, probably a version of cyano. Have you checked your phosphates? I havent seen a test result for that... If it's...
Dunno, misconceptions I guess. So you think reducing my photo period by 1 hour actinic and 30 minutes daylight should be enough?
Bump for the PMers. I can try reducing lights... I'm suprised to think that the corals might be getting too much...
AquaticLife T5 6x54watt fixture. It is 6 months old, as well as the bulbs.
DO LOTS OF READING/RESEARCH That's all the advice I have or can give... other than this type likes atleast 4" of fine sand or mud to bury it's foot...
