Yea Im in the same boat as you Phisher. We need more South MS people playing this game.

Im now thinking what I might do is put a T inline of the return and send it back into the sump. Put a valve on it so I can adjust how much goes back into the return and what goes into the main tank. Will that work? I dont see why not, but I might be missing something. This way though at least Im not...

Well, Im sorry to hear that for more then one reason. I guess I will either take a trip to coral connection, or try and find some dry sand somewhere for a decent price.

And to think, I almost ordered some Mon. It was killing me to wait.

Yea my return seems to be putting out more then I can take in. If I crank it up more, the overflow starts gurgling and surging. So I have a valve now on my return, to slow it down some. Is there some other way I can do it?

Ok, I got my sump built. I put in my test tank, and I now have my overflow and such all hooked up. I seem to have it adjusted well, but I have a question. After I let the tank sit there and run for like 30 minutes, the return area of the tank seems to run low and then I have to adjust it down some m...

DOH!... You make me sad, although Im sure not as sad as you must be.

Can you give more details? Im sorry to see this happen.

Everything is looking awesome. I wish I had to room for a tank that size, let alone bigger. :) Too bad about the anemone, but you live and learn in this hobby sadly. And I as well hope that one day some more meetings will happen. It would be nice to meet up with the people somewhat in my area anyway...

Those sure are some nice frags for sure.

Phisher, did you get your sand? Just curious.

Yea Ive been doing a ton of that. Was hoping for a footnotes edition.

So far all of the info Ive gotten is great. So thanks again

Thanks guys for the responses...looks like Im going to have to go with at least a 20 gallon. Will continue to research.

Hi guys and gals...more questions from me. Ok, here it goes. 50 gallon tank, overflow box to a 10 gallon aquarium. Do I need to have some sort of union to adjust the amount of water going into the sump? Coming out of the sump? How should I set up dividers and such in the 10gallon tank? Im wanting to...

When I first set this tank up a few years ago I got all of my sand, rock and such from them. I really hate that drive, but might do it if need be.

Im sorry guys, Ive never run a sump before so Im probably going to be bugging you guys alot. If nothing else, it will get some conversation going on these forums. :) Im looking at getting a hangon the back overflow as the title says, But Im wondering what kind I should be looking at. There are the o...
