    ARGH disaster!

    O.k. After reading what you say I can conclude that the Maxi-Jet being a stream (jet) it could expel water out of the tank, then with more air space over the water evaporation can take place at a greater than normal rate thus producing the 45-50% water loss. So, I think.......mystery solved!

    ARGH disaster!

    Just trying to figure this out. Using logic again, if the power head was powerful enough to shoot water out of the tank (we still don't know what type power head it is, stream or dispersal) to shoot 50% of the water out it would have to have been about half way down in the tank pointing up and...

    ARGH disaster!

    Since there was an absence of water and/or water stains and NO evidence of what you propose then I refer you to Sherlock Holmes; "when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth? Since the power head came off the glass and fell down farther into...

    ARGH disaster!

    Well, first off, lights out is never a cure, especially for cyano bacteria. It may retard it a bit but will not get rid of it. Secondly, if no one was there to top off the aquarium, evaporation is why you lost water and in a small ten gal. you loose a lot quickly. Purchase some "Red Slime...

    looking for a good self priming pump

    What I did is buy a smaller size one and use it specifically for the aquarium/sump. Just wash it down (the hose) before you use it.

    looking for a good self priming pump

    Hmm, not sure exactly what you want here. If you want to clean the sump of sludge, many of us use a shop vac.

    GPH In Sump

    Right and wrong are moral concerns. I think you mean incorrect but then you go on to to make a disclaimer about the height of the drain. Also, you have overlooked how full people keep their sumps. Fill your sump 75-80% full and shut off the pump, it will over flow.

    GPH In Sump

    The return pump GPH is predicated on the overflow and drain rate. Too much GPH for the return means it will get ahead of the overflow drain and cause the flushing sound. Too little GPH in the sump can cause the sump to over flow. If things are in sync now, leave it alone.
