    Overflow water noise

    Hello All, So I changed things around a bit. Now I have the cpr on the back of my tank going into a gate valve going into a male adapter attached to about 3 feet of flexible pvc. The flexible pvc goes over the top of my sump and unfortunately it has to curve a bit and I attached a 45 elbow to...

    Overflow water noise

    Thanks Eliyah, Its a long story about whats going on with my flow. I actually have my sump plumbed back into my sump (thru a uv and skimmer) because I have a Dolphin ampmaster 2700. I got the dolphin because its quiet but it has a strong flow. I was searching on another site and found an idea...

    Overflow water noise

    Hi Eliyah, Thanks for the quick response. I think you and I are talking about the same noise. But I don't believe my noise is from the overflow because I got rid of its noise by doing the modification. I kinda thought of turning my return down but I would like to get as much flow as possible...

    Overflow water noise

    Hello all, The problem I'm having is with my cpr 150 overflow or rather the plumbing I have with it. I have the cpr on the back of my tank going into a gate valve going into a male adapter attached to about 3 feet of flexible pvc. The flexible pvc goes over the top of my sump but because it...

    Help me design my sump?

    Hey Dylan, There are a couple of suggestions I have. Your design to the right of the live rock looks good but if the live rock area is going to be a refugium then you should remember that your flow rate can't be that high running thru there. There are ways to design it so you refug flow...

    Sump Flow

    Hey Kevin, Thanks a lot for the help. Just a few more question please. Can I compensate for the width with more height in the sump? I saw a pic of your sump and I was curious, is it better to have your return going thru a hole drilled into the side wall or does it matter if you go over the...

    Sump Flow

    Hi Schottman, Yeah, the 1600gph is a hindrance. That’s why I was thinking about splitting the output of the dolphin and cutting it back a little to around 2300gph. Thanks. Paul

    Sump Flow

    Thanks Kevin, So you think the mixed skimmed-unskimmed water won't be a problem and efficient? I would like to make my sump wide but I'm limited a 10.5 width for it to go under my stand. I would prefer not to have it behind the tank out of the stand (for aesthetics) but maybe I should think...

    Sump Flow

    Hi Everyone, I have a dilemma and don't know what to do. Right now I have a 55gal glass tank (no water in it yet) in my living room and wanted to upgrade in a few years. When I first started this I wasn't thinking about noise or electricity cost. So I designed my system and built my sump...

    pump line question?

    Just an update, I was looking at the Dolphin Pond DP-1200 pump. It has some great specs on paper (better than the rest) and cost $90. Has anyone had experience with these pumps? In the description on marine depot, they say they are very quiet, is this true? I'm little concerned about noise...

    pump line question?

    Hello everyone, First off I wanted to say that this site is very informational. I've been reading here for 2 weeks and learned a great deal. Thank you all very much. My question is about pumping lines and more generally about water changes. I was planning on pumping water from my tank for...
