    I always liked the proportions of a 90. Looks very good so far. is the skimmer pulling anything out of the water?

    I was using seachem for my water tests..I ran out of ammonia tests, so I picked up Salifert for the ammonia tests, still using the seachem for the nitrite and nitrate..

    Ammonia-.25
    Nitrite-15
    Nitrate-20

    Looks like my ammonia's are almost gone and the others are spiking!



    I got a new sump, ESHOPPS 200..

    Ok, I have a question:

    I'm having a problem with the over flow in the DT, It is way to loud and doesn't seem to be working right...It wasn't this loud before I changed the sump and the water level was higher in the overflow area before I changed to the new sump....Here's a video of it,



    Hopefully someone could help me out with this..

    In the sump area, I would add a piece of PVC to the end of your flex hose to reach into the water. If the pipe is under water, then it should stop the noise in the sump. I don't know how to fix it in your overflow

    Oh my! That is really loud. I have heard that they make mufflers for the overflow. I think you might have to special order one though.

    @link- Ya, I'm going to pick some up tomorrow.. I know it will quit down the sump, But it's the overflow I'm worried about..

    @aquariaman- It was working fine before I put the new sump in a few hours ago..Now I cant get the water level high enough in the overflow to cover the holes to make it quit down, Just doesn't make any sense..
