Oh my I havent added anything to my thread in a looooong time. Well not much has changed axcept an algae problem.. That is making my tank look really yucky . Im not taking many pictures of the tank for that reason.

Just today, I ordered a double overflow and a single overflow for a sump like Billy98s. I also ordered a sequence return pump. The overflows and the return will be about 2000 gph water flow hopefully to help the circulation problem in my tank.... sooo I will post pictures as I go...

Congrats on the purchase... don't forget to take lots of pics!!!

blue_eyes53813 · 02-06-2007, 04:30 PM

I will. The pump is on its way now.. I talked to Jeff at reeflife.com and he recommended 2 double over flows. So thats what I went with. Billy was size are your sump and refugium again?

Well, one over flow came yesterday.... hmmm Im thinking/hoping I can put it together with one double over flow..
what do you guys/gals think... Im confused on the return and over flow flow thing.

I got a reeflo snapper pump which is rated at about 2500 gph. It will only be from the floor up to the top of the tank which is about 5 feet return height. I know you can tweek back the pump some. But should I have 2 double over flows.The double over flows are rated for 1400 gph... I thought jeff and I from Lifereef talked about 2 double over flows, but he only sent one???? Need some help...

Woodstock · 02-24-2007, 03:39 PM

I would definately get 2 double over flows. You don't want 2500 gph rushing down one double only. That would be very noisey!

blue_eyes53813 · 02-24-2007, 03:44 PM

Thanks Woodstock, I was afraid of that... shoot

blue_eyes53813 · 03-03-2007, 01:33 PM

Well I was, gonna take pictures today and my Camera is broke.. Really hasnt been anymore changes, But the corals colors are improving with the use of prodibio.. I love the product. It has improved the tank growth and colors. Pictures soon , I hope..

lcstorc · 03-03-2007, 03:14 PM

What a bummer about the camera. I love your reef and wanted to see more pics.

boozeman · 03-03-2007, 03:41 PM

Dentoid · 03-04-2007, 09:27 PM
