Anyone know where I can find a replacement input cover for a mag drive pump? :roll:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... egory=3212 Looks like someone is trying too sell a spiced up swizzel stick :lol:

The pumps are currently mounted to the sides of the tank stand with a piece of rubber between them and the wood. I also used rubber washers on the screw heads to reduce any more contact. I have found the source of mose of my humming noise, it is the pump mounted on the back panel of the stand...

That is a cool looking nano :) Try a search for test kits you should get a large collection of opinions. Also you may find more help in the Nano forum :wink:

I switched the pumps, Iput the Iwaki MD30 on the closed loop and the MD20 on the return. This seems much quieter than before. Still toying with hole size in the overflow trying to get it right. These Iwaki's are still humming loudly not sure if tile floor adding to the noise level. This problem...

All plumbing is done in spaflex pvc :? The only two points of reduced flow are the 90's and I have no other way around that because of the location of the bulkhead. Is there a difference between the durso mod and the stockman type overflow? difference in noise?

Not possible, no basement.

Whats she waiting on your not getting any younger :P

BangBang return to the sump where your humor is better appreciated, its easy to see why your alone. Good luck with the meds! :twisted: Now on to the problem the major complaint of my loving spouse is the gurgling sound emitted by the water rushing down the pipes. I have a stockman overflow...

Reefkeeping is just short of a GOD complex. How you take this responsibility is up to the individual but I feel that we(reefkeepers) are the controling factor in the life or death of our inhabitants. By no means is this a flame but a reminder of the power we have. IMHO

Thanks last hurdle before completion :lol:

I understand the concept of plumbing but your reply doesn't answer my question. Which way will have the least head pressure; Tee at the pump or tee before the seaswirl?

I have a MD30RLT for a return pump for my 75 gallon. I want to plumb to two sea swirls one 1/2" and one 3/4" dividing the flow equally, My question is do I plumb one 1" line up to the seaswirls then tee or do I tee straight off the pump. I want to avoid as much head pressure as possible.

Its a 430 running two 46" vho's

Is the heat sink necessary for the vho ballast?
