    H&S A10 F2000 Need Help

    I Ordered a H&S 90-F1000 but received a A10-2000, I cannot figure out how this one is suppose to work. I put it in my sump and hand filled it to the overflow but cannot see how it draws water into it. I did try adding a 9" piece of tubing to the top barb but again I don't see how that will draw...

    Replacing bulkhead

    Thanks, anyplace I can get an AG replacement with the barb? I ended up buying a complete overflow kit and can return it if I can get a replacement for the 3/4 bulkhead. It needs to be All Glass.

    Replacing bulkhead

    It's tightened down real good, used a bulkhead wrench. The gasket is on the inside of the overflow. It is dripping directly into the sump luckily. It's almost has to be some sand between the gasket and bottom of the tank. Another question I have checked all around trying to find another...

    Replacing bulkhead

    I had the nut break on the return bulkhead while I was changing out the return line. Had a spare and replaced it, now that one is leaking. This is an active 65 tall reef tank. Couple of questions, I tried cleaning the sand from the bottom of the overflow but maybe did not have it completely...

    Help PVC cure time

    Ok sorry for the confusion, this is an active reef tank, the cycle I was refering to is the cycle (circulation) return from the sump. I have a temp fix in place with the original overflow hose. I will let the pvc cure until tomorrow.

    Help PVC cure time

    Ok thanks but what should I do tonight, keep the return pump off and put a air stone in the tank? It is a 65 gal I shut it down about 5:00 pm tonight.

    Help PVC cure time

    Due to me changing out the sump today I had to use PVC to plumb the return. Question is how long do I have to let the glue cure before I can hook it up and let it cycle. Right now I have the return pump shut off. I did use a hair dryer to blow hot air through it hoping to evaporate the excess...

    skimmer problems

    Thanks that worked, although I put the venturi, hose and intake cyclinder in boiling water for about 3 min. Fixed the surging and the bubble cutoff issues.

    skimmer problems

    Coralife 65 Bought a used 65, where is the correct height adjustment for the bubble head in the cup? I thought the guy who sold it to me said it was at the bottom of the cup but that does not produce any bubble overflow. At apprx 2" inches above that seems to be working better. Does this...

    Complete setup purchase w/pics need advice

    I am considering purchasing a 1 year old setup, can I get feedback on the pics whether this system looks healthy. I have seen the fish fed and they all looked normal. More concerned about the condition of the coral.

    Moving tank want to save the live sand

    Ok sorry if I am pesky about this but considering we will be moving an existing stable tank, will adding new sand during the move cause problems?

    Great, can I simply replace with this sand and expect a good result?

    Moving tank want to save the live sand

    Will I have time to do the pre-rinse while the coral and fish are bagged? Will the resulting water be good enough not to harm the fish and coral, I assume it will be cloudy? There is a wet dry and skimmer. If I have to budget another $300 for new sand that makes the project questionable...

    Moving tank want to save the live sand

    Ok thanks, question: The move will be apprx 40 miles so from when I bag the fish and coral to the time I can put them back into a functioning tank will be be 2 to 4 hours. If I go with the pre-rinse option what would the process be? The sand is fine grain. I am a new guy and will be moving...

    Moving tank want to save the live sand

    About to move a 1 year established 65 gal reef tank. Question I have read that you should not reuse the sand without first washing it or replacing it. Apprx 100# so I really do not want to re buy it. What are my options?

    Aggressive 65 gal tank

    Hi new guy, I am trying to decide whether to go reef or aggressive Fowlr. I have been surfing around trying to see what I can do with a 65 tall tank. Currently I am space limited in our great room and can only fit this tank. In a couple of years when my daughter is older I will reclaim her...

    Hello

    New guy, only experience is a 10 gal FW tank I bought for my daughter. Now I've got the hots for something larger. I have been an avid hobbiest for years, boats, RC airplanes, and now adding this to the list. I have gotten out of boating so while this will be $, it should not be a 30' $$. Also...
