FEEL LIKE GIVING UP!!!

Hang in there Fletch! Nothing more stressful than a flood, but you'll figure it out. And when you do and have it running, I bet that beer will taste real good. ;D

For piece of mind, you might want to look into a high/low pump shut off switch. That should prevent it next time.

 

Thanks Matt with all of you helping me how can I go wrong

PS a high/low pump shut off switch were would I find one and were does it go? DUH :-[

 

PS Matt it is 2:16 pm here so I'll be having that beer soon ;D

 

Ha! I hear that.

Here is one switch example. This can be set for high or low. I am sure there is one out there that will do both...

Thank You Matt I will check into that for sure ;D

Do you see anything wrong with my setup? Is there something that you would change or do differently?

 

Not off the top of my head. I don't have experience with double sumps though... curious what Nugio will have to say.

 

I hope he can help too. If anybody has any ideas I would gratefully appreciate it. ;D

 

Here is a larger picture of my drawing of my filter setup

 

Im at work right now so ill get a pic when i get home.your fuge/ sump is oriented like mine. except my skimmers in the sump and ive got only one return pump. mine was the same as yours at first with the dual ret pumps thats wherein lies the problem with flooding.

 

So you are saying that you put both drain hoses into the same area right?
Fletch should use one the sumps for a refugium and pump into it and back to main sump with a bulk head or over flow?
using both pumps to pump back to tank?
