    External vs Internal standpipe flow rate

    I'm trying to decide whether or not I should use an external or internal Durso standpipe in my aquarium. The LFS recommends drilling the bottom of my tank (acrylic not tempered, so I'm safe) so that I get more flow than drilling the back of the tank, but once you add a standpipe, doesn't that...

    Overflow sediment build-up with standpipe?

    I'm thinking of replacing my built-in wet/dry filter with a sump/fuge setup beneath my tank. Looking at standpipe designs, the first thing that came to mind is that with the higher water level in the overflow and the water being removed at a higher level than bottom, doesn't this lead to gunk...

I currently have a 40g FO tank with integrated wet/dry filter and have plans to upgrade sometime in the next year to a...

    AquaC Remora help

    I installed a new AquaC Remora a week ago today when I did a water change. All week it has been generating nothing but white wet foam. I found some information about how the specific gravity can affect the foam generation, so I checked it yesterday and sure enough, it was low (1.018). I added...

    Saltwater Fish Compatibility Guide offline

    New here. Is the Saltwater Fish Compatibility Guide going to be brought back online? I think it would be a very helpful tool. If not, I vote for it to be un-stickied.
