Thank you for the advice. the tank is up and running again. I thought about redoing the pipe again but everything has worked out now. I have put caps on the drain with a hole and the noise went away. All that is heard now is the waterfall effect and im ok with that.

I have fixed the return issue. I switched to a 1" pipe for my return. Everything flows properly and exactly how i thought it should. the only thing is its very loud on the overflow sides. its gurgling i am going to try a mesh screen or a cap with a hole on the vent. any other ideas?

my LFS told me that the mag pump recommends 1.5" for best flow. I was originally going to feed the fuger from a drain line but i was reading through some forums and a lot of ppl said that i should put my skimmer and drains on 1 side and fuge on the other side and have the pump in the middle to...

I have a 125g fowlr tank and a 55g fuge. I made two 3/4" pvc overflows. I bought a mag drive 9.5 for my return. I used 1.5" pvc for my return. It is also T into my fuge section on the sump with a ball valve. My overflows seem to be way too slow. and there is alot of gurgling noise from the over...

lol i dont want dead fish lol yea imma def check them on sat and see what the tests read. my guys already told they wont let me buy fish until my tests are were they want them. but i was just wondering about bringen them down to spec but it might just mean i havent finished cycling then? my lfs...

i put cured LR and marine sand as he said marine sand will become live sand. im pretty much goin with these guys on what they say. every other LFS i went to was like no dont do any of that bring your tank and let me drill it for bulk heads and get u this sump for 450 and a skimmer for 260 and i...

i was talking to a friend of mine thats not familiar with sumps or anything like that as i am not too familiar either. he said i can take to filters that are the same models ex fluval 305s. put the inlet in the tank the outlet to blow out into the beginning of the sump. then take the other 305...

my LFS told me to put the rock and sand in 2 weeks ago with my salt mix let my filters run and then this past weekend i told him i had algae so he said put the cleaner kit and next weekend well do a water test and see about fish.

My 125g tank is running good. i swapped out my emp 400s for 2 305s so i have 2 305s and a 405. waters is clear rock has some hair algae.i only have 50lbs atm. so far 2 weeks and everything looks good. i put some cleaner packages in on sunday and it looks better aot of alage has been removed...

i have a 125 atm but by the time its grown i would upgrade my tank to larger. id be getting it as a true baby as soon as it hatches. ive been talken to my LFS whos been helping do the whole setup he showed me their cat shark and explained alot but his is by its self i dont want just 1 fish lol...

thanks read that earlier just says smaller fish but wondering if any 1 has it with inverts or somthing. thanks

i want to buy a cat shark when my tank is done cycling and ready for fish. wont be my first fish or anything but when i get better at maintaining my tank levels. What fish can live with it? lion fish? puffers? shrimps? i dont want this to be my only fish. thanks

ive looked at a few of those recently theyre not feather dusters they really tiny like not even 1/4". look like maggots.

i went to a vet this weekend and i saw their sw tank. they had a a bow tank with lots of LR and it had these weird bony looken worms on them. they were really tiny what r they? they said its normal

thanks for the site will definitly check them out. im going to check what i have for space underneath my tank for a sump. ive been researching sumps and designs and safty stuff so they dont flood. i have plenty of spare tanks to make into 1. just gotta build the overflow and get the tubes then...
