    Filter media cup overflowing.

    I replace it once a week however Its overflowing quicker. The chemi pure is supposed to be in high flow areas no.?

    Filter media cup overflowing.

    Maybe I can somehow modify this one to fit the 7" and be done.

    Filter media cup overflowing.

    I replaced it Sunday and it was overflowing last night.. I need to get more out of them... (This was prior to me adding my chemi pure) hence why either one bigger 7" would be better or two 4" and since I have a 4" already I am going to try to just add another.

    Do you think 1/4 inch is thick enough? https://www.amazon.com/Polyvinyl-Chloride-Standard-Tolerance-Thickness/dp/B000ILG0E6/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=pvc+sheet&qid=1573063457&sr=8-3

    What did you make the shelf out of? PVC sheet? I think that's the move I am going to make.

    Filter media cup overflowing.

    That is what I am feeling right now - that the water if being forced through which in turn is causing my filtration to be less than effective. How did you mount your cup holders? Do you have a picture? Homemade or bought similar to the link I provided?

    I wonder if I pulled that box out and put two of these in (Four Inch Holder) it would be better.. What do you think?

    Filter media cup overflowing.

    I bought the sump this way... I am not sure if it's standard this way or if it's custom. The top hole is less than 4" so maybe around 3?

    If it was a 7" hole a 4" cup would never stay in place...

    Filter media cup overflowing.

    I have a gate valve on the return from the overflow. I am not sure I'd want one coming out of the return pump.. would put some serious flow restrictions and I would not get the flow from the pump i'd like.

    Filter media cup overflowing.

    Howdy, I feel like I know the solution to this problem but I'm wondering if someone else has a better or easier solution. My return from my overflow into my media cup is coming in faster than my media cup is willing to allow water through and it's causing spillover. I replace the floss as...

    I added chemi pure blue tonight - we'll see how the carbon helps out. I don't even run a skimmer anymore on my 30 AIO as it was removing too many nitrates. It's now in the off position and my nitrates are at a much more acceptable level. The egg crates are a pain.. I need to look into making...

    Frag tank water clarity

    I have loads of detritus and film algae on the glass... actually may just be more detritus. I fear adding a skimmer is way overkill as I only have one fish for now..Wot this wind up removing good nitrates for the coral etc? I have like 200 gallons worth of marine pure spheres in my sump...
