    What sump pump

    Another option you could look at is the JECOD DCT series Pumps - DCT4000. I've been using this for the last 9 months with no problems so far in my sump on the same size tank as you have. Very quiet and has 10 speed settings, not that you will use the highest setting, but its nice to know you...

    CPR Overflow size

    will not be drilling into the tank so cant have twin stand pipe or x aqua, i understand the need to have emergancy outlet (Herbie in my case), which is why a weir seems the best way (unless you have another idea ) going forward. Will be ordering this tank - sump - cabinet next week, so the...

    Changing from canister to Sump

    Ahhh that makes sense concerning the co2 loss. thinking about sealing the wet/dry section to reduce the loss even further. Maybe a silly question but if i have 4 x flow coming in and 10 x flow going out, i will not have enough water coming in the sump as more volume of water is going out...

    Changing from canister to Sump

    foxfish thx for the reply. So with a tank size of 90*45*45cm and the water level droped by 1inch for example, with my sump size of 55*35*36 how much water would it drop in the sump?? The sump has not been made yet so the size could be changed. i would like to be safe and not sorry in the...

    Changing from canister to Sump

    Couple of questions.. Was thinking of using a CPR OVERFLOW or a lifereef. Any recommendations???? Not really possible to have a mains top up value with the position of this tank in my home. Why would you consider this to be so important The reason for the sump is where i live it gets hot in...

    Tetratec external filter leaking problems

    You should contact tetra on thier web site www.tetra-service.net or call them on 00800 766 88766 and get the part replaced before you have any problems. As nick said the problem can start 4 month's down the line, so being proactive now will give you some piece of mind.

    Running in time for a 2nd External Filter

    Sounds like a great idea and will save my elctricity bill also. Was thinking of putting in some shrimp first and as the new tank will be 60cm-30cm-30cm would you say that 25watt will be enough for the first few weeks. Cheers Mark
