Building sump for 210

[Spechty37]

My CPR overflow that I just hooked up like two weeks ago is really noisy my wife hates it when she's trying to watch tv mine came with ridged tubing to put in the drain but it doesn't seem to make a difference where I put it anyone have any ideas why

It should have come with a piece of plastic tube to go into the drain to supply air. With this my CPR overflow doesn't make a sound.

 

[Spechty37]

It did but it doesn't seem to matter where I put it it doesn't get any quieter

Have you tried adjusting the flow?

 

[Spechty37]

No they are both wide open should I try closing them a little

 

[mr_X]

What could it hurt? Now let's lead this thread back to the subject.

 

[Spechty37]

Yeah sorry and thanks

Yeah sorry and thanks

Lol not a problem. What would you grow for macro for the best nutrient export?

I like bubble caulerpa. It's the fastest growing algae I know of. Plus, the fish will eat it, unlike chaeto.

Is bubble the same as grape caulerpa?

 

[mr_X]

Yes. Same stuff.

 

[Tkey3425]

Yes. Same stuff.

Will a 1' Gap on the bottom of the bubble trap before the return flow enough water for a 1200 GPH return pump? I'm using a 3/4" gap between them and 1" off the bottom to catch the bubbles.

Sure it would. the smallest opening is what you should consider, so it's the 3/4" x 18" hole. 40 breeder, right? think of a piece of pvc pipe and how much water flows through that hole.
