Hi Folks, and Happy Thanksgiving. I am eating 7 courses tommorrow (6 Italian, one Pilgrim) Woo hoo!
I recently purchased this guy over at EBAY.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSAA:US:11&Item=7723241740
Nice big 200 gallon wet/dry-with nearly no instructions and no help from the seller. It is not even able to be found online. All I
know about it is one logo on the instruction sheet, calling it an "AQUALINE" The instructions are only for one small section and
nothing more. If I knew basics such as total water direction flow, I could finish assembling this thing. I have the parts, I have
assembled most of it, but I do not know what is the input and output to the hanging box. It has two siphons as U-Tubes and
"uses an aerator" or I guess an air pump with a long thin 1/4" hose (hose is included).
The double hanging Box has grooves like an overflow on one side, the other side has two exit holes facing downward.
1. Where do I put the return pump (I have a 750GPH submersible pump)? Into the sump? Into the box? Which side?
2. Which way does this box hang?
3. How do I get the U-Tube to act as a siphon? Fill it with water, very quickly turn it over and place both ends under water on
both parts of that box while holding the ends to prevent it from draining?
4. The return to the tank can be whatever I deem usable and should create surface mvoement, with maybe air being introduced?
5. Is there only ONE correct way to use this thing?
I am just using my knowledge of freshwater and applying it here, but I understand that some things in marine tanks are completely different, from what I can remember from 12 years ago. I assume that the input is to the two elbowed pieces with slots as spray bars, over the pullout drawer of blue filter foam, and down"trickling" into and over the bioballs and finally into the sump. It is the hanging box and connecting the outrput pump to return that I wonder about.
Is this standard? Help!!http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/images/smilies/twirly.gif
