    Lets have a vote.

    Then try some biological control. With the numbers you have, I would likely do berghias if it were my tank. They take a while to form a large enough...

    Flow rate GPH

    It really depends on your setup and what you plan to keep. In a FOWLR, you can get away with as low as 5x, or maybe less, depending on the amount of...

    Lets have a vote.

    The only other option I see for such large quantities is biological control. Berghia nudibranchs, peppermint shrimp, copperbanded butterfly....

    Big PH drop

    Do you have anything covering the top of the tank? Do you have a lot of surface agitation?

    Running this by the tang police

    Also, when I had my 3" Kole Tang in my RSM (36" across), he could swim across the tank in about half a second with no effort, and did so nearly...

    High pH at regular alkalinity

    You just want to get surface agitation, so you can't see the tank clearly from above, if you go with his advice. But that's not what's wrong. pH...

    Overflow issue

    That was the problem. The height of the outer box relative to the inner box was keeping this thing from opening up. It can now do (at least) 160...

    Running this by the tang police

    The Kole is much smaller than a regal, and a decent amount smaller than a yellow. I don't agree on the assessment, though. I wouldn't put a tang in...

    Overflow issue

    Even with 2 U tubes (the right angles 5/8", and the 3/4"), it ends up giving a max flow that's about equal to 180 GPH; just the numbers from before...

    Overflow issue

    You mean, does the water inside the pot rise until it's flowing over the teeth instead of through them? The thing about the other overflows is...

    Overflow issue

    The teeth are (not evenly spaced, used a dremel to cut them with the router attachment) about 1/8th of an inch apart, and I cut them using the 1/8th...

    I can't see that clearly enough, except to make out that the proportions are pretty off. I'm going to take a pic or two of the actual setup in a...

    Overflow issue

    There's no kink in the tubing. The outside box level is about 1 inch under the inside water level when it's running.

    Overflow issue

    I'm using 3/4" ID vinyl tubing for the bigger tube. I just realized that's different from the typical U Tubes because they're usually a solid piece...

    Overflow issue

    I had been starting it by putting airline tube into it then sucking out the air. There's no air when I start the flow. I'm talking about when a...

    How do you get rid of bristle worms?

    Most aren't bad. They'll just eat detritus, and are good as part of the CUC. Then, there's the ones that get gigantic. The fireworms are pretty bad.

    Overflow issue

    It's gravity fed. It's an inch of water over the inner box. There's no "height it has to drop"; this is an overflow box, and I'm worried about the U...
