Guest Ahbrit Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I agree with Michael. it will also prevent splashing through the sump area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 Miles build a small stand out of eggcrate that is just higher then the waterline and then put a small piece of foam filter on that. The water will have to go thru the foam filter and not just crash into the sump should make things more quiet and it gives you filtration. HTH You mean in the sump where the water enters?

Chief Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Here is a link to what they are talking about. http://www.thereeftank.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75909 Go to the bottom of the thread where Tat2d posts pics of his old and new sump. It is the first pic. Eggcrate with blue filter material on top. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I'm sure Bobby (Tat2d) won't mind if I borrow his pic. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 I get it now, thats what i was picturing. Thanks for the pic. I might have to give it a shot. So its been running a few days now with no probs. Its still silent with the occasional slurp because the vent stack is still completely open, i need to pick up a cap. I'll be draining it tomorrow and putting it in place inside, then hooking up all the necessary equip. Will try to start filling it thursday.

Barelycuda Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 You could also use a 4" filter sock. Then it would kill 2 birds with one stone. One for filtration & the second for noise reduction. Worked great on mine. Cuda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 Yah good idea Sarah, i have a few filter socks laying around i'll put to use. The sound is very minimal now, and since its only going to be a temp setup (plus i got the ok on the sound from the wife) it will be just fine. I don't think its any louder than my 29.

impur Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Ok got everything drained and moved inside. Hanging the pendant tonight and adding the additional HOB filter and PHs for circulation. Hope to have water and corals in it this weekend and begin the first dip. Over this past weekend, i dipped 3 corals in the TMPCC. I dosed the recommended amount, 1mL TMPCC per 200mL water and dipped for about 20 min. At the 15 minute mark i began blasting the corals with the baster. I did not see many FW in the container afterword, and it did not kill the pods running around in there. Also, i still found redbugs on the corals after the dip as well. So i'm going to have to try a much more concentrated dip next time. I'll do 2X the recommended dosage next and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanz Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 So what's the update on this? Got any recent pics? Oh yeah, forgot to ask...what's that blue thing sticking out of the PVC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 Well it served its purpose and i took it down after a little more than a month. It will probably be used for QT for new incoming stuff for my tank. Here is a pic when it was in action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanz Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Umm...I can't see the overflow in that picture. So why did you take it down anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 Yah i didn't use the overflow, didn't end up needing it. I just did 100% WCs thru the QT stage. I only needed it to QT my SPS for 5 weeks. Now my 75 is going in its spot. I'll still use it, just only set it up when i have something to QT.
