    A 750g SPS system is born

    In the pics showing the VHO improvements, the shelf standards that you are suspending the endcaps from look to be held together and connected to the galvinized unistrut with only wire ties. Upon closer inspection, I do see you have the actual endcaps suspended by some coated wire, but I just...

    Why not the Supreme Dynamaster air pumps?

    Why are these not more popular with the large air stone skimmer users? Mine draws .55 amps, and the specs on the new ones are to 10psi. Parts are available and cheap.

    I have found if you install a gate valve on the line from the overflow and cut it back to match the flow rate, the line will fill up and will be silent on the upstream side of the valve. The downhill stream will still produce noise. So, either put the valve at the sump, or below the floor...
