here is the full tank shot..

The pictures are not very good, I will take some more when I get home from work, but I just noticed these rotifer looking things attached to the walls of my wet/dry sump last night. I don't see any inside of the tank, and I did not think any copepods would grow inside the wet/dry sump as it is...

that is a slight possiblity, he can be a bit of a nuisance, but is fun to show off to people as a conversational piece. How on earth would I get him out..lol... although I did find him on the middle of my carpet one morning when I woke up about a week after I had him, still kickin though. I...

the eel gets close on occasion when its feeding time... he swallowed my old maroon clown, but he was pretty small, and was the only one that went anywhere near the feeding stick (which the eel obviously didnt appreciate) everyone seems to get along really well now though. I guess I kinda...

I am trying to add freshwater to compensate for evaporation and want to add it directly to my sump of my wet/dry filter. I have previously added it directly to the tank, and I feel it may be better to add it to the sump. Although, there is a lot of green algae/dust like dirt buildup on the...

so.. how and where do i add these vent holes? :?

okay, I am afraid I am about to make the board confusing again.... I managed to quiet down the pump, and big thank you to everyone's help. But, now I am concerned about the other problem which some people were talking about... quieting down the syphon from the overflow box into the pre-filter...

there is a hole in the return line, but it is actually on the return piece that blows water back into the tank, and i believe that the hole is just above the water level (so out of the water) is this wrong? It should be in the water?, and if it is in the water it should be in the water as in in...

for starters, the pump is underwater, inside the sump/filter and the pump has a return 3/4in tube with a return plastic opening/blower that does have a hole in it to prevent from back syphoning back into the filter. When I turned it off last night it did not return water back into the sump...

I will definitley try a buffer like a sponge or rubber when I get home from work, thanks for all the suggestions! so spongebob.. I will try and kill the power to the pump for a longer period of time and see what happens, but my question is, you said to "make sure that your system is not...
