Can I just drill a hole in the top of one of the 90 degrees? I dont want to replumb it.... I thought you meant a T on the inside of the overflow....

:lol:
nope sorry, but that won't work, water will leak through there, you need The T and a piece of tube to extend high to avoid the leak,
thats why planning is important

So there is no way to shut off return, drill a hole and then attach a pice of airline tubing to it?

THEPHISHGUY,
you can try, but I don't recomend it,
I would just cut off the piece with 45'&90' and replace with a T and cap and worry about the something else

So I took your advise and replumbed this morning. I added the airline tubing from a maxijet with the venturi screw. Well anyway, it did nothing......until I took the piece of tubing out. Now it is ABSOLUTLY PERFECT with just the hole in the cap. I am so excited to have the mag 9 fully opened up. THANKS A LOT... P.S. I got the 400 watt 14 k and 2 36watt pc actinic up and running. The color is SICKO!!!!!!!!!! G-d I am so happy, with everthing now.
ONE LAST QUESTION. When I was setting up the phosphate reactor, so media spilled into the sump. Do I need to worry about it? Should I siphon as much as I can out or just leave it in????

THEPHISHGUY,
when you can take the media out of the bottom of the sump, don't just leave it there, when you get a chance
about the tubing, something was done incorrectly, most likely clog the line, so no air was getting
here is a good pic showing a property set one, with just a valve, the principal won't change if a small hose, etc. is use
oh, and by the way this pic also shows a properly set overflow box and top to keep things nice and clean

I had no intention of stocking the tank so quickly, but my rock had been curing for 5 weeks, my levels were perfect and a local reefer was breaking down his tank and sold me all the coral. He could not be a nicer guy and I could not pass up the deal. Just the Purple M. Cap is worth WAY WAY more then what i paid for EVERYTHING!!! He really is an awesome reefer!!!! Thank Moe!!

I have a mag 9 return going to a sea swirl. I have a quiet one 6000 @ 1600GPH Closed Loop going to a return in the top right corner and coming out of the bottom right corner of the side glass. The bottom return goes to a y tube locline. The only part of the tank that was in anyway stagnant was the bottom right corner before where the locline comes out. So, I have a maxi 1200 pointing straight down into that corner. With 90 times turnover, there really is no place for detritus to collect at all. I like the packed tank look. I know a lot of others do not. I plan to do A LOT of pruning.....!!!!
