Blue Ram Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Over the past weekend, I finally got the sump started up on a 120 gal used reef system I purchased. I've had one issue after another for more than a week now in getting this system set up due to missing parts, etc. All of the livestock has been in two holdings tanks waiting. I'm not happy with the way the sump is set up. I set it up the way the previous owner had but something is amiss. I would really appreciate it if any of you experienced reefers could take a look at it and give me some suggestions for improving the operation of the protein skimmer and the sump in general. I do not have any experience with this equipment. I am reluctant to move the livestock into the tank before I'm happy the sump is operating efficiently. I'm in the west end of town - 5 minutes from Westhills. Willing to provide some compensation to an experienced individual. Sooner is better!

nautilus Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Might be useful if you put up some pictures so the people here can see your concerns and that way you get the benefit of all of the forum and a heck of a faster response too! Unfortunately I am not a saltie so unable to assist. Hope it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okotoks Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Can you post some pics and your specific concerns? I am a plumber so I may be able to point out/solve some possible mechanical issues but that'll cost $100 an hour. Just kidding, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
