(1) Check your water source. If from tap, filter it with DI or RO+DI. (2) Need to increase water movement in tank using wavemaker. (3) Install a decent protein skimmer if you do not already have one.

Ah....diy overflow?

You filter sock is sitting very high. Be careful not to let it overflow.

Sorry to hear about your lost Terry. Would you consider going BB to avoid this leakage again?

BTW, bro Ducados is having his tank drilled tomorrow at his place. Comparatively, I think your tank is quite portable. Below is his thread.

DIY overflow? Very interested to learn how it's done...& look so compact too. Can show pics of the overflow compartment, piping, & sump? Can't wait

Thanks. You gave me some ideas for my next tank.

Wah...if words got out, this book will be banned on this island.

Bro, can I find out where you bought them from? You can pm me.

Very smart fish you have there bro. Distract other fishes with own poo while going for the real food. You reading "Sun Tzu art of war" book beside your fish tank issit?

HOB = Hang On Back It usually refers to a piece of equipment designed to hang on the brim of your tank. You only need one or two pumps in the sump to 'push' water back into display tank. There's no need to pump water from display into sump. Water naturally overflows into sump via gravity. Samples of overflow boxes. http://saltaquarium.about.com/od/wetdrytricklefilters/tp/topoverflowboxes.htm How an overflow box work? http://www.melevsreef.com/allmysumps.html

Maybe using Y-connectors can cut down on flow restriction since the bend is less severe? So need 3 of these to get the same result of bro tropic's drawing. Not sure if local hardware shops carry something like this.

Are you planning to drill your 2 footer for overflow into sump, or purchase an HOB overflow box?

Nice cabinet design. And congrats on your newborn.

...or do the chaeto way.

Carbon is ok. Common, show us some pics of your setup.

hi YingYing, Welcome to our reefing community. 1st time I communicated with someone from Afghanistan. Would be easier if you can show us some of your tank pics. Firstly, Weipro is ok, but there're better skimmers out there. Below is a recent link regarding undergravel. Your sump tank should have sufficient capacity to accommodate extra water volume during power outage.

If I'm not wrong, C328 also have.

Thanks for the advise bro. Will check before feeling to my tangs. BTW, my mom said that these sea weed sometimes trap sand because they were sun dried. Nowadays probably oven dried.

There's this packet of seaweed sitting in our kitchen cabinet. It's like those seaweed you pick in a Yong Tou Fu store. There's no mention of raw seaweed on the package. The print says something like "Specialty from Fu Jian" & "High class seaweed". Do you think it's suitable for my tangs?

Bro hotsoup have something like that. It's actually a 2nd return pump with the option to redirect part of its flow to equipments. See his tank spec link below.
