Reef Discussion / anyone go to Gerber's anymore for fish?
« Last post by Reef Tank 2.0 on February 29, 2024, 13:37:47 »
I have been out of the hobby for a few years.

When I was up and running, I bought fish from Gerber's as well as other local stores.  Never had any issues.
With my tank finally in the cycle stage, it's time to start thinking about livestock again.

I did a google search on Gerbers.  The negative reviews as of late are very disappointing.  I know I won't know for sure unless I drive up there myself.  But just curious, has anyone on here been there lately and bought livestock?
Good or bad experience?

Definitely okay with having it trickle down the standpipe. Also, is this a completely all new setup? Do you have a DC or AC return pump?

Adjust it so the water level rises to the emergency stand pipe.  There should be a very small trickle down the emergency pipe?.  But it should not make noise.

Reef Discussion / Herbie overflow.......out of patience
« Last post by Reef Tank 2.0 on February 25, 2024, 21:41:08 »
I am out of paitence. I don't know what else to do. I have spent the last two hours trying to adjust my gate valves so that the overflow drain level STOPS fluctuating. I haven't changed anything, other than adjust the gate valve a 16th of an inch at a time.

I have opened my return gate valve all the way. From that point, I adjust the drain valve to the point that it is A) quiet, and B) stable. A) isn't a problem at all. I can quiet that down pretty quick.
B), right when I think the level is finally stable, I watch it for 5-10 minutes, and I watch it slowly creep upwards or downwards. The further down it goes, the louder the overflow becomes.

I don't understand why this is happening. Nothing is changing from the sump, up to the overflow.

I have the system filled with water, rock, and sand, and getting ready to drop in raw shrimp tomorrow to begin the cycle process.

I understand one needs patience in this hobby, but this is ridiculous. A 16th of an inch should not change the level by INCHES!

i can only assume you don't want any water draining through the emergency line. which is what i am trying to avoid. but on the flip side, if i do let the water flow through the emergency line AND the main drain line....does this cause an issue? when it does flow through both, things seem to stable out and become a lot quieter.

i sat here and watched this water level drop 2" with me not changing a thing. then it creeps back up, very slowly.
when i go to the sump, everything is quiet and there is no gurgling or anything coming from these pipes. i don't know what the issue is up here at the tank. why is this water level fluctuating?

a gyre wouldn't cause this would it? i do have that in place

I am at a loss, can anyone help?

Here is an image of the set up instructions I used..
