how did the tank overflow?????

what a mess ................i bet

I had a turbo snail climb over into my overflow. And then he decided to go in the pipe......well his shell is slightly smaller than the U tube. So he got in and the water could only trickle around him. So there was no where for the water to go but up and over. Damn talk about a mess!

Im in the process of getting myself a new tank and having it drilled. I just dont have the cash yet. I bought my new lights, built a hood, built a stand, bought a protein skimmer, bought a new return pump with a little more umph, and spent 80 bucks on lights for the new fixture. all in the last three weeks. with a $8 an hour job. haha. Needless to say my dads birthday was this week my girlfriends 18th is next week and with all that.......im poor. Ohh and i have my car payment and insurance due next week. So no more additions for my tank for about two months. Which SUCKS :( Unless I run into a lump sum of money of course. But I overbuilt my stand so I could hold up to a 70 gallon tall. But in all honesty I think im going to stay small...my 29 could be bad ass if I work at it. Always better to overbuild than to have it fall to pieces. I have some plexiglass hanging around from my sump...... Im going to do that for sure! Thats a good idea for now. :) you truely are THE saltwaterpimp.

hey what do you think about drilling 6 holes in the back top of the aquarium. evenly spaced. for one inch bulkheads. Making a closed loop with a 1" drain to the pump to the squid to two outputs for powerheads. And then two drains for the sump and one return. Two drains for security.

Wellll
2 drains to sump
1 drain to pump for the closed system
2 outputs for closed system
1 output from sump.
