Got everything up and running today. Started fishless cycle too. Everything went pretty good too! The only thing is the sand in the fuge blocks the hole where water went through the sponge but it doesn't seem to be affecting anything yet. All the water just goes over the wall now. Couple pics Couple things I forgot to add. Salinity is at 1.025 (this will be a reef tank so 1.025 is good right?)
This setup is fairly quiet but definitely louder than a freshwater setup with hob filter etc. Just sound kind of "bubbly". I'm not getting any slurping sounds from the eshopps pf800 overflow but you can hear it draining I guess. definitely not for a bedroom. My light fan for the 10,000k is kind of noisy too but live and learn I guess.
One question though. My overflow will stay primed for awhile but after mayb e an hour of so of the pump being off it loses its prime I think. Each end of tube has water in it but majority is filled with air. Why is this anybody know? I thought they were supposed to stay primed in the event of a power outage. If the power were off for any length of time and I wasn't around it would not be good. Any ideas what's causing this?
