SRC Member ryz Posted January 16, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 16, 2004 wah impossible for the water to flow in from the bottom into the overflow box unless, : 1)U connect the return pump to the wrong pipe. 2) the PVC pipe connected to the return pump was not directed to the main tank but into your overflow box. hhahaa Which partitiopn? the glass partition? OMG "ni tai cong dong!" calm down dude. what partition u tore down? Quote Live and Let Live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepBlue Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I think I have seen similar tank before...true, if water cant flow in from the top, it goes thru a small gap at the base, you'll end up with an 'oily ' surface...true, get it right before you commit further investment.... what you can do is get the correct measure ment and get the place you bought the tank from to come fix and adjuct it for you...th emost pay a bit more $$$ only...

SRC Member ryz Posted January 16, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 16, 2004 WAH violent!! Tank smasher!! hahaha. overflow box partition smasher! PRO! *SALUTES hahaha u pro lah. Dun like the tank design. Like that can't even have any sand bed. maybe a bit of sand to "bai sui" only. Get the regular overflow system lah. Think you go to some tank maker or glass comnpany they might make a tank for you cheap cheap. I got my 3 ft tank done by my mother's friend (10mm with top and bottom eurobracing, long ago) currently using it for aggresive tank. got it at cost price($60) cause is my mom's fren.

Achilles Tang Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Tsk tsk! A hot temper gets you nowhere. You don't have to tear apart the overflow compartment in anger. A cool head and asking other reefers here in SRC for advice is the better solution. Too bad. I would have told you to just use a glass piece to seal up the bottom slot or even a CD could work. There are a few reefers who have bought such tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
