Wouldnt a baffle like that "encourage" bubles to go over the top?

I like Mike answer but that is not my sump. That is my RDSB . I don't want to drill the hole it look weird so i decide to use the teeth..

are you currently cooking the rocks?

 

[SeanT]

I gotcha...eping the RDSB and sump in same tank.

Hey Bart...I start "cooking" mine (again) tomorrow.

I just contacted Gregg about the availability of ATI's, he told me it is at least a couple of months to get them if you order.

 

[ReefEnabler]

get in line as soon as you can I ordered mine early february and still waiting. im hoping it will only be a few more weeks...


it seems like forever ago that I bugged greg again and he said another 1-2 months...... then I check the calender and it was only 2 weeks ago times fun when youre having flies.... and vice versa

awsome recap i really like how you have an equipment sump, its an idea I hope to be able to incorporate into a future build some day. will be nice to not worry about water dripping when you disconnect hoses etc. I hate trying to use a towel to soak up water in tiny places where it doesnt belong!!!

All my rock currently in the RODI water. I let it sit in RODI with bleach for couple days, Air dry for couple weeks then put them back in RODI. Just want to make sure i don't have any crazy stuff in the rock...

That is why i ordered mine. I figure by the time i leave California, the pendant should be available. If i don't place an order now, i will have to wait for couple months

I thought the tank is going to be inside the house that is why the equipment sump is made for that purpose. It is good to have something to catch all the drip. If i don't have the equipment sump, my main sump will be much larger.
