tropheusmaster Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 ROFL, well the sumps have always worried me with the flooding issue, they are a pain to access, always keeping flow adjusted on over flow when tank level drops, back in the day when i did not have the ro/di system i would come home and water level dropped and return pump sucking air and making air bubbles in tank everywhere had to run to lfs for water. and yeah lot of hardware but no real big issue and it all works and no deaths or major problems. 1 guy in Bryan tx told me i read all the info on line and reef club posts but in the end i do what works for me and i dont change it unless i have a problem. i said well spoken friend.............LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
