This is what I currently have and it draws a lot of air :(

That's what I saying. I only have one :( If that one gets clogged slightly on the gate valve, I don't have other drains to rely on to take up the rest of the water that won't go down the drain. I fully understand the concept and I even thought of doing this when I initially set up the tank...

How would one QT them? Does the shrimp also need QT? Would copper kill the shrimp? If they are paired and you separate them for QT, would they pair up again?

Yeah, good point. My next trip out there, I'll ask them what they do about that. They use constant kalk drip and no dosing, though. Temperature in there is a bit different than here too.

I only have one drain pipe and would only feel comfortable doing this if I had 2 drains. Any difference on volume passing through that gate would affect level on DT, which could possibly lead to a flood, doesn't it?

How long does it take for ORP probe to stabilize and give somewhat accurate readings?

But, out of curiosity on opinions, is there any disadvantage on having a very low turn over on the return? In my visit to reefers in Brazil, they seem to run tanks with very little turn over. Something like 1:1 ratio. 60gph on a 60g tank. They were using closed loop for internal flow. So...

I'll try the vent escape idea. I've seem them on some other post somewhere and it was being called reverse durso, but the purpose was to minimize the noise. I can see it serving the purpose of containing the bubbles inside too.

Well, the sponge and underwater route doesn't work for me. They would still let the bubbles pass and be inside the sump. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. My drain pulls a lot of air, which in turn makes a lot of micro bubbles that explode when they surface. The micro bubble burst is what...

What do you do to avoid the salt spray from bubbles that come down from drain and burst? I'd like to run my drain without sock, but want to avoid that nasty salt spray.

Because it was my first time doing it and I didn't know anything, I was really scared initially and apprehensive. I thought managing the Cu level was going to be tough. Well, much to the opposite. My Cu levels never dropped substantially since I reached 0.5ppm I don't have anything in...

See ya there. Thanks :)

See ya there. Thanks :)

I'm planning on having this as expansion module for RA. I've got some samples from the manufacturer already, but nothing for immediate use that would benefit the OP right now.

RA dosers won't work for this purpose. It uses brushed motor that won't last long in this situation. They are not designed to be running on continuous mode like you are planning to. Bubble magus is the same thing. You should consider a higher grade with brushless motor or stepper motor...

I'll tell you my experience with hypo. I got a healthy powder blue that was eating like a pig and was isolated from other fish for a month before I got it. He had a few ich spots. I then placed him into a QT tank and started dropping salinity to 1.009 He was in hypo for about 4 weeks and...

Cool. See ya there

Yes, I'll bring one frag with me.

Hi Erick, I have another one for you too. Will you be in the Nov. meeting?
