    New to here... saying HI

    Sounds good to me! I have used it for years in my outdoor pond, in the waterfall and stream. It has help up well and algae has grown on it so you don't see it. Sounds like the salt isn't effecting it. :)

    How mush lower should my overflow chamber level be thank my tank?

    I used this site to make my own Durso pipe. The site explains somethings that might answer some of your questions maybe... http://www.dursostandpipes.com/make-your-own-diy?start=2 It talks about gas exchange and more... Ideally the water level in the overflow chamber will be about 1 to 2...

    New to here... saying HI

    Welcome! I thought I'd read on your build thread where you used the expanding foam in your rock work. I might have read wrong. but if so, did you cure it special? It sounded interesting.

    can I add egg shells to my tank?

    After you see a few of the shows on how most eggs are produced you don't want to eggs again! One reason why we raise our own chickens. What you feed them affects the egg, the color of the yoke and effects the taste, its not just getting in through the shell. Our chickens eat grass and bugs...

    Emerald Crabs

    Well my biggest worry was that a crab would get my goby or shrimp. I have a ton of hair algae that has sprouted up since it got warm. Maybe with lots to eat it would behave!

    Emerald Crabs

    I have heard these crabs do well for algae in tanks, but that they are predatory. But what that means seems vague. Do they hunt fish? Other crabs or what? I don't want to get one and find it hunts my shrimp or goby.

    transfer existing sand? Yes or No?

    Well both our LFS's told me to reuse my sand. Granted it was a smaller amount. I went from the 29 gal to the 75. Used what I had and I had to buy some new. I followed their instructions, didn't rinse it.

    Foam in sump

    I think the protein skimmer wasn't working correctly. While the cup wasn't full, only had about an inch in it. It didn't seem to be working. I did a small water change and cleaned out the skimmer and the foam seems gone. Hopefully that was all it was. :)

    Foam in sump

    I have what looks like white "foam" in my sump. its in the return section and covers say about a third of the water surface. Not sure what is causing it really. Just did a water change the first part of this week, water tests good. 0 ammonia, nitrates and nitrites. ph is 8.2 sal 1.024...

    This was the first time I ever bought it. I got mine at Super 1 in post falls. It was in a large plastic "can", green label. Its the 1lb size and was 4.48. They only had that kind and I havent seen it anywhere else but I have not looked.
