Hi John, I just placed an order for a quick crew, but it would not take summersolstice. Instead I used the 5off code (which did work) since the...
PVC cement is NSF 61 approved for use in drinking water ;) No issues with it in a saltwater tank!
Where did the water come from when you originally filled it and did your changes? Just curious, did you prep all of the new equipment to be in the...

Actually, I don't hear any noise from my overflow box! All of the noise is from the inlet into the sump itself. And there is the same risk of an...
Any reason to not just use a siphon overflow box? Something like this. I am running the 1000 on my 55 and I have no complaints at all. Also, be...
