Morning. I'm still keenly following your progress on your continuous water change system. As this is my plan for a December project. That said I...
Eish.... So it was just snack time for them...... Only fish I can think of is tinfoils so sorry on that front..... They work for me and they grow...
Hi again. @Ray Port Elizabeth flow rate is only and barely 5x turnover for the tank. But all is well so I do not want to scratch where there is no...
Hi Ray. Mine flows 3400lph.
Found some old pics when i was testing. But its the same one still going strong. Outside (still testing) [ATTACH] Inside (still testing) [ATTACH]...
Hi again. Yes it will if the overflow diameter is not matched correctly to the return pump flow rate at your tank specific head. All that means...
Yes and no. Study the 2 designs carefully. While looking very similar they function differently.... Yes you do need 2 more 90 degree elbows and...
Again sorry I type slow.... :) And nope its there just to stop your overflow from becoming a siphon. It won't affect flow at all.
Here is a link that explains and shows examples of both types. Pipe Sizing Charts and Flow Rates. Hope this helps. Also if you change the design...
Haha..... Sorry I type slow. First of all put a end cap on the stand pipe(open pipe facing up) and drill a small 5mm hole in the top of it. Will...
Hi. +1 for some pics. Will deff be able to give better advice. Ps diameter of overflow is determined by the flow rate of the return pump. Also...
Hi. It depends on the lph of your pump and tank volume. But what I have done is to do multiple outlets in different spots in the tank. The more...
Hi. First of all..... NICE tank..... Ok so I'm no Discus or planted expert, but I have fiddled with sumps quit a bit. You are correct that the...
Don't have any but would love to have some... Don't even care which species... Any will do....... But just a warning they get BIG and very...
No problem.... In between useful info i can talk allot of nonsense. Well if I can give some pros and cons on both type of setups, maybe it...
Agreed with mxz on the sliders. It will slow the evaporation down. But 15l to a 300l tank and 50l to 650l is still almost double the water volume...
Ok cool so it is a point you are aware of. So simple solution is leave a small gap in the silicone of panel C-D so water can sifer into the filter...
Hi. Too be honest there is nothing wrong with your design. The only thing you need to know is the smaller the "internal sump" volume the more you...
Shame man. Too much action for him? Hope so too. He is a very nice fish. Ps might be coming to Pretoria next wnd. Will let you know this week....
I see I was out by 200lph (got the 120w model).... Eish. Sorry for that. Still en excellent pump for the money imo.
