add another baffle after the skimmer that the water flows under then over the next then under to the return pump. same design that u have just one more baffle.

it depends on where the water outputs are at if they are down far in the tank it will drain until it gets air to break the siphon. that's why u need a hole drilled somewhere high. mine is in the elbow of the pluming where it enters the tank when the pump is on it has a little stream of water...

that is a nice tank.

when u stir up the sand it can create all kinds of things to happen. what is the nitrate level at. how about ammonia and nitrite. what is the salinity. messing with the sand especially in a tank that has been over fed can release rotting food. into the water that in turn will make the ammonia...

no as long as the new water is a good match in temp and salinity. the other thing is are u using tap water or rodi

nice tank

ok well base rock will turn into live rock but usually it is not as porous as regular live rock. the next think is to get the nitrates down that is all done by water changes. if I were you I would start with a 50% water change. then every few days do 20% water changes. in my sump I have...
