    Anybody else from central,WA

    Hi, I live in Yakima not much for Reef Clubs here or even pet stores that have decent anything for that matter. I think Barrier Reef in Renton is the closest thing to a real Reef Store from what I have read and am planning a trip there this summer. Unless there is something closer.

    hard time with sump

    No need for a ball-valve on the down pipe of the overflow. Slowing the drain would only cause a main display overflow. If you are going to restrict flow it should be done on the return line without restricting the pumps flow. This Is usually accomplished by adding a T and splitting the...

    My Aquamedic Turboflotor Multi SL. Is hanging on my sump. The return water from the Outflow boxes splashes in the sump and is rather noisy. I wanted to extend PVC pipe from the outflow box into the water so ther was no splash. But of course 1/2" is too small and 3/4" is too big. I would...

    So, can someone explain to me piece by piece. How you plumb the return line. From the 1/2" threading on the Mag7 till it reaches the tank. I understand the PVC pipe part. Still a little fuzzy on the part where you make 1/2" threading into 3/4" or 1" threading do they sell an adaptor for...
