Well, reducing the flow through the valve did the trick, however, I will still install the elbow as I think I need to reduce the splashing. The vaporization rate is quite high, I'm topping up daily with about 4-5 litters, is that normal?! Another thing, I have just found a yellowish green fuzz...

Great! I'll give that a try. Thanks

I have the ball valve on already, so do you mean that I use it to reduce the flow? what about the risk of clogging? Thanks for the reply

Thanks, I will try that.

Thanks Tobykourtney, So do you suggest to submerse the elbow under the water? Or leave it at the surface?

I'm still adding some rocks and started introducing some small corals from my other tank. Here are a couple shots

Hello everyone, I have just started a new 75G with 40G sump, I'm using the megaflow overflow kit which comes with a durso drain, I'm using a 700gph return pump. There is a lot of noise coming from the water falling from the drain to the sump, and submersing the drain tube inside the sump causes...

Thanks Nelix10, I'm thinking of adding a DI canister to the system sometime later.

It is going to be an outside corner built-in in the wall of my basement. Almost done with the framing. This is the overflow at the back The drain enters the sump. I used a ball valve just in case I needed to shut down or reduce the drain.

Hello again, Nobody is following yet, but I will update anyway since a lot has been done and hoping to get some help with some of the issues that are going now. The system now is up and running. 75 g with corner overflow, 2 holes, one drain and one return, along with a 40g sump. I'm using 2 120W...

Hello Everyone, I'm very excited to upgrade to a 75 g tank. Here is the plan; I'm renovating my basement to an L-shaped recreation room, and the tank is going to be built-in in the wall at the corner, so I will have a short side and a long side showing, and this is why I had to have it custom...

Actually I drop them whole, partially thawed, I'm not sure how can I rinse it without loosing the food in the water it's too tiny to control. Thanks

Thanks Chirp! Could you please explain numbers 1 and 8? Thanks

Thanks Sniperhank! 1. I use RO only. 2. I have 2 small clowns and 1 medium size angel, and recently added a white sand goby, but the guy disappeared the same day, never seen him since. About 25 lbs of live rock, 1.5 inch of sand bed, some corals, 1 laenka orange star, cleaner shrimp and few...

Hello Everyone, Does any one has any idea on how to get rid of red slime? I tried to scoop it by hand, change the water, but no use. I also added a power head at the spot where it's growing, but still didn't work. I have a 29g biocube, and it's mainly growing on the sand and the glass. Many...

Thanks Severum mama, I decided to go with the drilling. I've been waiting to find used ones for the last 3 months, but unfortunately, it is very unlikely to find the size that I'm looking for, besides, most of the used tanks are full of scratches. The one I'm working on is planned to be a show...

Thanks for the advice Mr. D, I will not do a canopy, but would rather have a side or top hanging lights with decorative brackets. In terms of the equipments you've mentioned, any suggestions on where to buy from "any good deals" Thanks

Thank you so much, I will keep you posted, and will definitely talk about stocking!

Thank you, I'm in London, Ontario in Canada, so buying from a website like this one would cost me a fortune to ship. We have Big Al's here which can customize do tanks, but they are also expensive. So I decided to go with the 65g. Thanks for the tip though.

Hello everyone, I'm planing to start a new 65g aquarium, and I'm planing to do the following: - design and DIY a black stand (need to do it as a show piece) - put in a sump tank. - have fish and corals in my tank. I need ideas in terms of: - what light should I use? - what power heads needed? -...

Those are great tips ... Thanks!

Thanks, I will, I still have a skunk cleaner shrimp and a couple of hermits and few different snails, so I need to through in some food every other day. Thank you

Thanks Scott, I will try those tips and will post the result. For now I'll keep the tank without fish for a couple of weeks (as my boxfish died last night), and will do a couple of water changes, before I get a new fish. I think this time I'll just keep 2 small clowns. Any other suggestions on...

Thanks Scott, I will follow your advice in terms of the water top ups, but I don't have an RO system, I only use the normal drinking water filter which I think is a 2-stage filter, but I treat it with aquarium water conditioner. (Do you think this is a problem?!!) Would you think the power head...

I usually measure the salinity and top it up if needed, I didn't want it to be over diluted. It seems to me that the surface is getting a good flow that always moves the surface, however, sometimes I see an oily film on the surface. I have no other flow besides the filter. Could you provide some...
