Although I have dursos on mine, when my valves aren't set right, I get the toilet noise too. My return line has a ball valve on it and all I have to do is turn it down a little to get the flow just right and the noise goes away.

I saw that pic after Ryan mentioned majano but all the pics i saw were a different color. I'll keep an eyeball on it. Right now I only have two like that. It was weird to see it in a different spot this am. Would've liked to have seen that move.

Gotcha! Thanks. I asked the folks at tbsaltwater and they said it was just a feather duster as did a few people that have come to the house to looky at it. Hopefully that's all it is.

yup, alive and clawin'! not for long though I already pulled out two gorrillas utilizing a little tool from Sears lil' dab of shrimp in the tool and ker-snap! got em' I'm amazed at all the snails and starfishies and shrimps and stuff that hitchiked across the country on this rock. Pictures...

If you are in Phoenix, I'd be happy to give you the hirocks I didn't use on my tank.

My wife spent *several* more hours in the hospital and various doctors over the course of the last week. The clots seem to be going away on their own. Slowly and the pain is decreasing as well. At this point, the tank is coming along wonderfully. I received a call from tbsaltwater sat morning...

It should work just fine from the ro unit. I have my autotopoff device on this timer from intermatic. I've got it set to only come on once a day for an hour. So far, so good.

Well, the wife is finally getting better and I am able to continue working on the tank again. I went ahead and placed my order for a 'Package' from tampabaysaltwater.com. Now I'm gettin' nervous.... Now I have to think about aquascaping and such. Will I need approval from the city for this...

If you are using the autotopoff system, the dual switch plugs into the solenoids. Meaning both are connected to the solenoids. I'm loving mine.

I don't know if it is still valid, but last month when I ordered at drsfostersmith, I used a promo code of: 19822762 and that changed the price to $39.99

I use one. I emailed them a few questions and described my setup and they recommended the double switch - sump mount along with the one solenoid. I almost bought the double solenoid, but I have the switch on a timer that only allows it to come on for an hour a day anyway.

That's just what I've done. The system I have from autotopoff works great so far. Only had it hooked up three days, but so far, so good.

I would think a refuge of *any* size that you can grow pods or cheato in or whatever you were into, would be worth it. If you have the room for 5gal, thats what you use. Me, I'm only going to have a 3 gallon fuge, but I'm doing it because I think the benifits are worth it.

Well, my wife had three, count them three blood clots, so while she was at the ER my son and I went to two lfs looking at their lr. What was I gonna do, hold her hand? She's a nurse, she can handle it. Besides we have a two and a half year old, so someone has to watch him and he isn't easily...

have the pvc in the garage... just hope i dont forget it in the am wife had an ultrasound today and found a blood clot after having her gall bladder out last week... that slowed me down a bit today as far as the tank goes... long as she doesn't have to go to the ER, i'll keep on truckin' in the...

Refractometer is telling me it's at 1.023 Temperature is at 80 Flux capacitor, fluxing The MagDrive 9.5 doesn't come with a base pad to sit on, so I'll be going and picking up some foam to wrap it in. I'll also redo one of the hoses so it's not pulling the pump against the side of the sump as...

yup, have the brute garbage can cleaned out with heater & powerhead ready for pwc water i just figured if the tank was empty then mixing it in the tank was ok

my lfs sells 'sponge-like' material that is probably a filter, i just am using the wrong terminology again so i'll stop by there tonight and pick up a foot of it just in case How long should it take for all the salt to break down in the tank? I have the whole system circulating and both...

not knowing how efficient the chillers are, I'm just curious, but would it be cheaper in the long run to buy a chiller since window a/c units aren't known for their efficiency?

Where did you get it at? Any pictures? I'm still debating my purchase of rock and looking at all options.

With the tank running for the first time last night, even with all the vibrating noise, it still wasn't too loud. No more sloshing or rising and falling of water since that initial adjustment. SharkMan, I'm guessing with the dual overflows, if you are going with the megaflow sump you'd get...

you know, i knew there was a reason i saved the box in garage unfortunately i am in the office today and not telecommuting like usual, so i can't go looky right now, but i do believe you may be right. if not, sponge and a zip tie might be in the works haha.. i knew there was a reason i...

Whee, I gots me some waters and salts in the tank and it's a percolatin'! I have a Supreme Mag Drive 9.5 as a return pump and it's vibrating like a crazy thing thats... well, crazy against the sump wall. Any suggestions on how to quiet it? I was thinking about wrapping it in foam or sponge or...

The water noise from the overflow into the sump was loud at first, slushing and sloshing about, but I was able to adjust the return valves to the tank and that fixed it. No more sloshing or water noises. I bought my megaflow sump used and it didn't come with bioballs, I've thrown some base...

I have a 75g oceanic rr setup with one overflow and an all-glass megaflow sump right now. It's filling with water as we speak but will be circulating water tonight. Using two SEIO Super Flow Pumps (Model M620 - 620 gph) in the tank and for the return a Mag Drive Pump 950. I'll let you know in...
