Yeah, I wouldn't. UNLESS you can have a good maintenance schedule and clean out your sump every other month or so. I already know that I'm too lazy to do that, that's the reason for removing the LR. Also, I have it in my fuge, and the amount of pods in there is remarkable, so I don't think I...

While I'm not using any mud, I do have sand in my fuge and my sump. When I redo my system I'm thinking about taking all the rock out of the sump. The reason I'm removing it is because it builds up too much detritus. I think I would rather just keep a nice clean sump that's easier to clean at...

Re: Brian's 225g Monstrosity! I saw that, I think that is a Hammerhead...too much flow and not the right pump diameter...The more I think about it, I'm probably just going to order and new one and be done with it.

Re: Brian's 225g Monstrosity! The saga continues...went downstairs to make sure the pump was still running ok and not leaking...no leaks, it was running ok. Then just as i was leaving the room I heard this grinding noise...of course the pump seized again...I guess it was lucky that I was...

Welcome, Keith! Enjoy the forums, and what they have to offer!

Well...like I said, The pics aren't that great...that's what I get for trying to take pics at the very end of the meeting! Here they are (in all their random glory!)

Add Billy Mays to list...Holy cow!

He might find it if he just so happens to drop a certain box of rock off at my house....muahahahaha ;)

Re: Brian's 225g Monstrosity! Probably when I get home from vacation, I would love to do it before, but setting up a new tank and then leaving for a week isn't sitting well with me.

Re: Brian's 225g Monstrosity! Well, I can actually have a positive tone to a post in this thread! Went to AO, picked up the tank with MikeM. It's sitting in my garage safe and sound. Got all the parts to fix the dart. Got home (from a great meeting) today and replaced the parts...Still don't...

Another great meeting, always good to see all the old faces (literally...lol) and the new crew. Thanks Herbie and Anna, we all had a great time. I haven't looked at the pictures yet...I know I didn't take tons of them, but hopefully the ones I took will be ok! :)

Re: Brian's 225g Monstrosity! Still waiting on the damn seal kit...Hopefully it will be here on Monday!! (actually crossing my fingers that it might come USPS today) I'm meeting MikeM over at AO today at noon to pick up the tank, then back to the house to drop it off..then off to the meeting!

Ya know, I'm not one for superstitions but ya know...they say death comes in three's. Freaky!

Have you switched the bulbs around to see if the problem follows the bulb?

Unless your dog gets scared of it and then doesn't want to leave the back steps! We have one, in fact if you want I could sell it....uhh...ummm...reef trades....uhh....sorry. :P

Re: Brian's 225g Monstrosity! Thanks, Bax. I actually just ordered the seal kit for the pump. Hopefully that does the trick!

Re: Brian's 225g Monstrosity! PSA for the day.... CLEAN YOUR PUMPS! So, after going back and forth with Reeflo, I took apart the whole pump and cleaned everything. WOW what a few years of not cleaning will do!! So, I get it all cleaned, it fires right up...everything is great! UNTIL i walk...

Re: Brian's 225g Monstrosity! Well, I'm talking with Reeflo now. I got the pump to work again, but I'm still not convinced it's going to be a long term fix....I don't I guess when the fix is too easy, I'm still a bit skeptical. No word on the tank yet. So let's hold off for now. I will let...

Happy Fathers Day!

Re: Brian's 225g Monstrosity! Thanks, Wendy. But unfortunately...To use another pump, I would have to redo my whole manifold. The Dart has an intake/output unlike most pumps. It's 2" intake and 1.5" output. The 2" intake is what kills me... I put a heater in the tank, and hopefully between...
