1. I have the tank up and running, but there is alot of sediment in there. I don't think I rinsed the sand well enough. Anyways, it settled on its own when the tank was off, but as soon as I started up today, it went for a crap again. Will this stuff go away, or should I run the old biowheel with a couple of cartridges for a couple days?
2. I went with a stockman standpipe, no room for a durso. It works well, with the mag 9.5 anyways. However, every minute or so, the level drops, it sucks a bit of air, and flushes like a toilet. I googled, and it seems like its a common enough problem, but I can't seem to find what people actually do to fix it?
3. How little of a drop can I get away with on the overflow/stockman. The shorter the drop, the quieter the tank. Right now I have it almost level with the level of the overflow, that way there is no noise at all. Is this ok?
I'm gonna take pics tonight, let everyone see the finished product, look in my build thread later!
