thanks everyone for the offers. trautman hooked me up.

just looking to see if anyone has a HOB overflow they are getting rid of.
-
well, i'm not sure if it is 100% fool proof yet or not, but i have been running a fluval 405 on the new 150g for a few days now. i am pretty much using it as an overflow box and it seems to be working very well. i shut the return pump off every couple of hours to make sure, if the power goes out, that it won't overfill the sump. knock on wood, it hasn't yet.
-
ok. so i came home and jumped right into fixing this problem. i looked at it for a few minutes and it clicked. i just happened to have a 4 foot piece of 1 1/2" pipe laying around so i cut a piece that is about 3" below the stand pipe and low and behold, the water filled up right to the top. no more 15" waterfall effect. i didn't even have to adjust the flow any. it runs right over the 1 1/2" and flows through the drilled holes. and if the holes get plugged, i still have the top of the 1" wide open.

ok thanks. a little light reading for when i get off work tomorrow

well, i have been trying for the last 5 minutes to pull the pipe out and it looks like it is glued. i split the tubing and slipped it over the pipe. i will turn it all back on tomorrow and see how it does. if it doesnt help, i will probably just crawl back undernieth the stand and replace the bulkhead. hey rick, where do you find the different types of overflows.
-
i think i will split the tubing. i was planning on just trying to slip it over but i dont want to push to hard and bust the bulkhead. the good thing is i am only testing with fresh water right now so if it comes down to it, i can always drain it and pull the bulkhead to replace it if i have to.
-
i dont think there is enough room to get a good enough pic. its kind of tight in there. maybe i can paint a better picture. it is a standard 1" bulkhead coming through the bottom of the tank. it has a piece of pvc running up to about 3" from the top of the tank. the pvc has what looks to be about 3/16" holes drilled through it from about 1" up from the bulkhead almost all the way to the top. i think steve is on the right track. i have a piece of 1 1/4" id clear tubing that, when the tubing warms up a little, i am going to try and slip over the pvc to cover the holes up. my next question would be,if that works, would you suggest a gurglebuster on the top. i only have about 3" to allow water to flow out.
-
so i have our 90 running right now to check my plumbing skills and i am noticing alot of splash when the water drops into the overflow. it is all built into the tank and it has a 1 inch stand pipe in it. the person that i got the tank from drilled a bunch of small holes in the pipe from the bottom to the top and i think this is why i have so much noise. so my question is, how do i quiet it down? i thought about putting sponges in the box to stop the splash, but that would only be a temp. fix. looking for ideas please.

hey eric, if your buddy wants it, i have a magnum 330 that he can have with it. it just needs the O ring for the lid. it went bad on me and i never got around to replacing it.

question about refugiums
in Equipment
Posted
i am getting ready to do a refugium on the FOWLR tank and i was wondering if i need to put baffles in to seperate the macros? will egg crate be enough to keep them apart if i do need baffles? or can i just leave it as an open tank and let everything grow together?
