Back In

So what I actually did was just change out pumps. I had a Sicce 1.5 that I put on. It has a low flow rate but that just keeps water in my sump longer, which I like. I make up for the flow in Powerheads.
Here's a couple pictures as the lights are starting to fade for the night.

Added a cuc today. Just some snails, but a cuc none the less.

So everything seems to running well other than my skimmer being ***** hard to dial in. One thing I have noticed is that when I add water to the sump, it gradually (in about an hour) drops down some but the water in the HOB overflow rises. It doesn't overflow it just rises some. This was not the case in the tank I had a few years ago. Any thoughts?

Here's a little underwater action. Pardon the blue balance and the shaky filming.

Might be that your pump can't keep up with the over flow... I recently had this issue, but my pump is adjustable, turning the flow up solved the issue.

Also gotta add, Joey I really enjoy that rock work... It's awesome from each panel.

If it's the pump then my overflow should eventually empty, yet it never does. It's the strangest thing for me.

Thanks man. I took Chris's advice and broke up a few of the bigger pieces. I'm currently trying to find the best setting for the light.

We should compare schedules sometime. I basically have to cover the same area you do just a different foot print

Nice rock work Joey.

Here's my schedule at every change.

I also have the weather effects on for no other reason than it looks kinda cool from time to time. They are set like this.

Starting to get the little brown spots on the rocks now.

@BlueDevil were at Aquarium this evening? If so, I saw you but didn't know if it was you for sure so I didn't say hi.

 

[BlueDevil]

Ah man! Yes I was. You should have said something. Would've been nice to meet you.

 

[jmann124]

I saw you talking to the guy by the food. I didn't think about til I saw you put something in your car as I was leaving and I noticed the Dike sticker on the back and I thought I bet that was Yash.

 

[BlueDevil]

LOL! Yeah that would be a giveaway. I was looking for some tiny food pellets so my baby clown can get a hold of them better than the mysis I had. Well, hopefully I'll get to meet you this Sunday!

I just realized that I'm a victim of autocorrect. That should've said Duke.

I have a Prime and RW-4 on my Biocube and am very pleased with both of em. You will be surprised with how much water that RW-4 moves. Money well spent .

I like it a lot but I need something to get some movement down low now.
