What do you mean by finicky?

I need an in the sump skimmer w/ pump for a 125g plus sump. In need of rock to fill my tank......all I ask is that you have no aiptasia and that pieces are bigger than rubble................ Need a VHO lighting setup as well. Tell me what ya got.......something with a couple pendants in it would be considered as well. The only real requirement is that it be 72" long. Thanks.

So how many gallons does this skimmer do? I need an in the sump style skimmer that will handle a 125gal tank plus sump.

As previously mentioned, just make [language filter] SURE it's thawed out. Slowly lower the turkey into the oil, and you'll be fine. I would let you borrow mine, but I left it over on my boat in Newport......... Only reason I'm not deep fryin this year is because I got a Traeger for Father's Day.

I glued everything..................... Lesson learned on that for sure...........(scratch)(scratch)

Yea I think I'm just going to go buy the right parts when I can afford it. For now I'll just deal with the noise. What I have found is that when I adjust my flow with my shut off valves it goes away, so I'll just run with a little restriction on the flow for now....... I drilled more holes in the caps as well. Now each cap has 5 holes in it.

Hmmmmmm..... I don't have any tubes going out of my holes. I just drilled holes and figured since they stick out of the water that it was good. I drilled like 5/16" holes too.

Well this tank has holes already drilled into the bottom, and I don't think I can drill more holes in it. Especially considering that it's full of salt water now......... Will just whacking off the tops of these over flows help at all?

I got a ball valve on each drain to control flow, and to shut them off if I need to service something in the sump or whatever. I'm thinking of just removing these gurgle busters because the only thing they busted was my wallet...................... My pump is an EcoPlus 1267 GPH.

The over flows. I made some gurgle busters, using a cap, a T, and a 90. I drilled a hole in the cap. This is supposed to be just like the quiet over flow kits you can buy, but these aren't quiet. I was just trying to save some money.........

Ok sump is figured out, tank was delivered, and everything is filled and set up tank wise. Running the system atm to get the silt out and the things that are supposed to cause less noise, are actually causing A LOT of noise. Any ideas?

Already have a baffle, it's just removed in the picture. Thanks for the offers guys. The sump is repaired now. Thanks to Bob at coral reef pet center.

Ok, I'm going to try to repair this. I was extremely pissed when I found it, as you could imagine....... Goin to get the tank this morning, but couldn't find these glues at lowes. You guys have any suggestions on places to buy this stuff locally? Is plexiglass at lowes the same as acrylic? Is there better material I could buy locally in Salem as well?

like lambs to the slaughter eh? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! baaaaaaaahhhhhhhh......baaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh

Sure is.......Just as much as growin coral is, just a lot more lucrative......
