thanks evsalty, as seen in your sig it looks like you might have had a flood before? and your workin on a 40br? pics?

Nope never had a flood. I looked at my 40br water level and I think for yours as long you raise that baffle height you might be fine but by the hair on your chinny chin chin if you know what I mean.

Sump level during normal op:


Sump level with pump off:


Tank water level with pump off:


If you look really closely to the right side of this pic you can see the normal water level in relation to the trim.

wow! excellent work evsalty, i will be following you thread for sure.

I finally got the water test done, you were right evsalty, the water level is so high!
im defiantly gonna have to trim it down. especially with a mp10 in there.


im also gonna change up the sump alil. didnt like the flow through it.

That is scarry high LMAO. At that height you might even almost flood during restart.

Update after a long hiatus. I
have still had my tank up and running. It has had its ups and downs. I was not getting the growth I wanted so I have recently updated from koralia's to a mp10. I am very happy with it. Here is an older video. I'll try to get one with mp10 in action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyCa...e_gdata_player

first off the wu-tang symbol was awesome....but question, did you ever lower the overflow height?
