Thanks Rob,and everyone here for a great site to read and learn!!!!
As I talked in my last post I was having trouble with my overflow.
I got it working just fine now with the 1" PVC and a Ball Valve.
Once I closed the ball valve up a bit and filled the return on the overflow I was able to get the siphon working and it's great no slurping noise and my water level is fine.
Dam it makes me feel good I am finally getting there I think.............LOL
Thanks again
Phil
I'm going to put my heater in the sump and see how my temp runs with the test water I have in there now.
One more ?,My sump is a 20 gallon aquarium and I have the 1" return from my overflow coming in right over my pump and have a protein skimmer that I was going to put on the other side? Is this right?
With the head lose calculator I should be getting 617 GPH,is this good for a FOWLR aquarium?
