Well the tank is running and its flowing fine except in the area with the skimmer every few seconds a bunch of air bubbles almsot like theres air going threw a tube and blowing it out underwater. its doing this and im not sure if its from the intake to the sump or the skimmer but its bubbles up and over the baffle. Its just annying to hear didnt know if i should be doing something different. also whats a good way to keep your pump from making so much noise i know its vibrating on the bottom but its loud.. anyway to fix that. last person had sand down there is taht something i should do or is that gonna make it worse.

it is at an angle but guessing not enough of one. ill have to concider the other option. thank you. and yeah ill have to deal with the sound since i spent so much recently i cant really aford to buy a new pump when this one actually works lol

uh the return has a longer tube from the pump to the tank. because of how it is sitting had to be longer.

 

[chatterboxbaby82]

the tubeing to the pump is flexable. it just vibrates on the bottom the other is doing what u just said.

 

[chatterboxbaby82]

Well its a tube that goes straight down for the most part it is at a bit of an angle cause it floats some how can i get it not to float

 

[chatterboxbaby82]

i adjusted it so it was straight down and it is pinned so it cant move and its still doing it. Its not as bad and not as often well see how it goes

 

[chatterboxbaby82]

I think ill buy a piece of plexi and cover that end it wont get out and it is only half the sump just enough to keep the water from splashing out

 

[chatterboxbaby82]

i should have said i plan to talk to the the guy in town that cuts the stuff and get a piece for the side of the sump mainly it will jsut sit between the tube and wall of the tank it will just be higher so the water doesnt go over. i wont be covering the sump

had to move the hose back out since it was still bubbling gonna pick up the glass tomorrow *i hope* and i can move it back since where it is is messing up the flow of the skimmer.
