Hello everyone,
We finally got our sump in place and going. I bought an octopus 150, 20 lbs of live sand and 20 more lbs of live rock, and a really nice expensive pump.
We set up the skimmer and I had the outflow as low as it could go because the foam and water were overrunning the cup. I called the LFS guy and he said to put it there and leave it for a few days. It calmed down and we added another gallon to the sump system so the BF raised it and now I can't get it to quit overflowing the cup. I've tried everything.
Should the outflow be under the water line? Or above it?
This is driving me crazy. The tanks looks 100 million times better already but all the foam going into the sump isn't good, I at least know that much.
Help, again??
