    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    okay so that makes sence, my dimensions are: 24x12x19h so I was hoping to do 24x 6 width(roughly, -glass thickness) and 24x6 for the equipment etc? can i make the equipment area smaller(less wide, like 4 inches, or will this create problems with my skimmer...do you think it might be more...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    do you mean (2) 90 degree? nope just 1, it's going to go striaght from the pump up to the display, 90 degree elbow to the tank(maybe a second angle/more of a slope I have to see what's at the store so that it doesn't just drop water into the display). I'm splitting the pump output? now i'm...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    no idea about the Aqua C, It's still in the box until the sumps set up. It came with a maxi-jet 1200, which is the pump upgrade. but guys we are jumping ahead of ourselves here....my chickpea brain can't take in all of this ( I will check out that website when I install it though) the 2 tanks...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    lol, no, I really need to work on my descriptions, I was refering to the float valve( not what it's called) to redirect some of the inflow into the fuge rather then straight to the equipment section. I don't think I'll be able to set up the gravity fed display, my display is way to tall and my...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    Haole I just read a post you posted on another thread how about just putting a hole and bulkhead in the new refugium tank near the top. Then have that tank propped up slightly higher than the main tank so it spills over into it. Then use a power head in the main tank to feed water to the...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    Haole_ if only someone had told me all this BEFORE i got my tank :( I would prefer to drill it aswell, but then there's all the inhabitants...the display has been up and running for a few months and to dismantal it, and keep my fish/shrimps/ everything else alive scares me! I found a used...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    yeah i'm not really sure about it either :( but i'm stubborn so I'm going to have to figure it out this weekend. Another way to do it would be to section off an area in the sump and have the overflow of the fuge drain into the inlet side of the sump. The fuge would be fed by a tee with ball...

    flatworms and the FWorm exit.....

    So I used flatworm exit on tuesday, sucked out a portion of my sand ( there was a flatworm party in one of the corners) and followed the directions. turned on carbon after about 15-20 minutes, started sucking out the dead ones. After half an hour I added another 8 drops ( 30g tank, originally...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    sorry i'm not to good with the non metric, so it has to lift the water from sump to display at maximum 18 inches ( the sump is will be on a stand beside display tank, I have no room to hide it)

    Alright, so I just got a remora hangon skimmer for christmas ( what a good boyfriend I have). I'm waiting on a 35 gallon tank and stand along with a cpr50 overflow( going to check it out tomorrow) and have ordered a mag3 pump(the pump will have to lift 1.5' up to display tank) and still need to...

    got a seaclone for christmas...should I keep it?

    Hey I got a seaclone 100 skimmer for christmas(very pumped about it), but I've been reading about it and it seems like it's not the greatest, does everyone agree with this? should I trade it in for AquaC Remora Pro Protein Skimmer With Mag-Drive 3 Pump? or any other suggestions, (30g tall with...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    no skimmer so that's not a problem. So say if the power goes out, and syphon broke etc. sump is not flooded. Then the power comes back on, the pump starts pushing the water back out of sump, once the tank water is at the outflow hight the syphon starts again so no disply over flow? Ac 50...
