SO, first time I run my 30 cube w/ its new sump and stand, the old sand leached something or the pump I was using did. Anyways, lost several of my sps. Basically all my Snappy frags. :sad:
So moved the rest to my 20g before I lost it all. Took my time and redid lots of work on my stand/sump and cube. One was dumping the overflow I had build and going back to Duraso. {I have no room for a Herbie}.
Now I have been building and using Duraso,s since Rich first showed us how. So this time, I run the cube for 3 days on fresh water first to check everything out. Just dandy. Duraso is as quiet as can be and works like a charm. :biggrin:
So, finally moved my stock back to my cube today and the overflow stinks. :lol: same problem others have. Runs fine then sucks down and gurgles then fills up again and so on and so on.
What the heck. :twised: Fresh water is different than salt for an overflow. Sheez, all these years using one and I have never had the problems others mention with them, until now. Is that because I read about them or what. :lol:
I quit. :mrgreen:
