dlogfx Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 How much flow was going through the return section? I've only had this problem when I'm not pumping enough water to get the Venturi going properly I was using an Eheim 1250 at first and it wouldn't start the siphon after a long outage. It would work fine if it was a short power disruption because I had a check valve that would keep the siphon. Then I tried a 1260 and still wouldn't work, mainly because my tank was too small so it would overflow before the siphon could restart. Plus the 1260 was way too much flow for my little 60p.

dlogfx Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 i cant wait. soon as it gets here im gonna build the stand. the 10 cent bic that holds up the $250 overflow I was using a piece of clear acrylic pipe I had laying around. It blended in well but the bic seems to doing a good job. Link to comment

JR! Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 none really yet. the sump and the mp10 should be here next week. then the work on the stand can start. need to decide what color the stand needs to be. kinda wanna do the ada grey Link to comment
SDartifex Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 For sure, a clean ADA style grey stand would be sweet. I wanted to do that but the GF made a last minute decision that a dark stain would look better, and I'm sure ya know how that goes. I also thought about doing a cement facade and add some character with some drippy tags/stencil work; but I didn't have the time to deal with it during the build. After seeing Schrieba's canopy on his new build I really wish I had found the time though, hopefully I'll get a chance when schools out to go back and do it. I say if you got a few days to fool around with it you should get a little creative and break the mold a little. That is as long as its not going into some room decked out with minimalistic decor, then the clean ADA style stand is your best choice Link to comment
