hello, im setting up a marineland corner flow 125 gallon aquarium and petco 40 breeder sump (aquion). bought the sump today and need to order baffles. i need to know how many gallons of water i can expect to flow to sump when the return pump is off. i will not be using check valves, so both...

due to lack of answers i figured i would get my own... just got them in the mail today. i ended up going with the model 533 for mechanical filtration, btw. opened them up after work to inspect. found the interior dimensions of the 506 where 8.75" diameter and the height to be 7.5". measured...

hello, i am wanting to put two of these on my 90 gallon freshwater, one for mechanical (522) and one for bio filtration (506). i want to run marinepure, either the 1.5" spheres or the 2" blocks. still not sure which would be better for my application. i have not yet purchased the filters or...

i bought a 3 3/4 hole saw. ring sits flush and no risk of slipping through. very happy with the fit. side note. i also made a diy 7" filter sock holder. i purchased a 7 inch filter sock. 6 5/8 would snugly hold the plastic ring. 6 3/4 is a looser fit and still will not allow the sock to...

thats amazing. thank you for the heads up.

For a finished look, just line the legs with 1" ish square on each face using self tapping screws. From there just nail or wood screw your cabinetry as normal. For a more industrial look, just self tapping screw to the legs directly.

im on my second clutch of banggai cardinal fry. the first clutch ,from a different set of parents, was sold to my lfs. i like this because its local, tank raised fish. im also very partial to this particular breed of cardinal and flirting with the thought of keeping them this time...

I've found other forums with replies to similar question. 3 5/8 to fit the sock. 3 3/4 to have the ring sit flush on the mount. Feel free to confirm or correct.

2" 11gauge square tube and a welder for mine. Made the feet adjustable so I could level it too. I like the open look but I also have the ability to skin it with wood. Like previously said, figure out what you want. Mine was tall and has the ability for a 40 gallon breeder sump. Google...

re working my sump to add mechanical filtration. need to know what size to drill the holes for a 4" filter sock. also need to know how much above the water line the sock needs to be. pictures would also help. thanks

get everything sorted out?

it will all work out man.

ok so i got an email asking for the old skimmer back. cool part was that i found paid return postage through ups. i was redesigning my sump so i was holding off moving anything around until i had that done. yesterday i put the new skimmer in a 2:1 water:vinegar mix and let it run for 24...

ha. i rarely get to see my blood red fire shrimp.

sure, plumb an out from the tank to the in of the mag 24 and then the out of the mag to the in of the tank. mag drives are submersible or external pumps. so you have options. you still have a return pump for your sump. just not the mag 24. it was just a thought. you only have so many...

you could make it a closed loop. just a thought anyway.

i think standardized flow through the sump is outdated. here is why: the sump is a place for filtration. commonly a skimmer and live rock, even a refugium. first point is the skimmer. if you are blasting more flow through the sump than the skimmer can cycle through its self, whats the...

cool looking nem... bet it will look great in your tank.

good to hear that they have settled down.

great looking tank.

i like it where is the gratuitous full tank shot?

bum deal. hate that you have to go do a collections run on a guy. poop deal about the pump too. on the flip side, if your like me, this is giving you a chance to mentally run through and think about your set up and make sure its all set and really how you want it to be.

looking forward to the pics..

then it makes this method work for you. by having a pump that returns slower than you can drain is great and preferred . so long as the drain that does not have the valve is above your full siphon line but below where your tank will overflow for safety should a snail or something further...

this is just how ive done mine. you have options so long as the principals are there.
