put a small hole in top pf tape to act as a vent

 

[meagheavz]

i think that wut that hole was premade but in wrong spot. so it taped up right now. doin good. now im just gonna have to get the water noise down from the sump... do i need a light in the sump for rock?

 

[NYreefNoob]

That hole on to of the durso is a air vent, slide a piece of air line in it and move up and down till you have silence

 

[meagheavz]

THX i will try that. i know there one that sucks the water to the sump. it was plastic thing in it but the one that put water in the tank. it really loud. it hard to reach.. tape was the only thing i could get in there

 

[meagheavz]

it not the one that drains water to the sump its the one that bring water to the fish tank. it not on the top it on the bottom side

 

[greenstreet.1]

same-thing here

 

[meagheavz]

it so loud. ill try to find a air tube so shove in the if i can it hard to do becuz it under not on top.

 

[lfsmarineguy]

the hole on the bottom of the elbow in the return side is a syphon break. If power goes out, that hole will stop the tank from draining down to the level of the return nozzle. You shouldn't cover that up, you probably used the wrong return pump if it's making that kind of noise.

 

[meagheavz]

thats how it came, and acroding to the picture i hav it right. i might try the tube thing

how's the skimmer working for you? i had a pro 100, and didnt like one bit.

 

[meagheavz]

so far i seem to like it. if i dont put alot of water inthe sump it works pretty good, this is the 1st skimmer that ive had that actully works. ive seen green/brown and not super watery. im moving my fish in pretty soon. which im not xcited about. my old tanks is at my family hosue and i found out today they are starting construction early. so i gotta get it out of theres ooner then places.
