Default Re: The Official Asylum Reef Tank Thread

I rerouted my water circulation lines. It used to go: high head sump pump-->chiller-->skimmer-->sump and high flow sump pump-->wave maker-->tank-->overflow to sump. Now it goes: HH pump-->skimmer--->sump and HF pump-->chiller-->wave maker-->tank-->overflow.
This increased the skimmer so much that I have to throttle the pump flow now. Before I had to throttle the return from the skimmer to increase the back pressure. I may be in danger of overskimming the tank, if that's possible.
The wavemaker is a T-shaped device in the pump line that has a turbine that alternates the outgoing flow about once every 15 seconds to opposite sides of the tank.
