found this method on the saltwater about site. modified it a little ... pls advice

plan4ms.jpg

for the part [ fuge to main ]

the return pipe will be quite high up. so in case of black out .. the minimum level of water will be under the return outlet (( as seen in A ))

note : fuge will be half full so in case of black out ... water that would flow in would not overflow.

[main to fuge]

the pump will be place near the water line ... so in case of black out ... water that would be drawn into the fuge will stop once it goes below the pump intake ..

is this idea workable ? will keep my skimmer ... btw im using a 2 footer as a fuge ..

not a good idea. cos if one pump fails, either you gonna haf a flooded main tank or a flooded refuge.

As long as it's eating... the disappearance has nothing to do with feeding/hungry... u may wanna do a major water parameters test tonight :)

Price of LS fluctuates... mainly driven by demand and supply... from what I know... Randall was in high demand a couple of months back (with the Nano craze)... I bought one last 2 weeks for $10.
