I don't think removal is necessary. I remember you can drill a hole along the outlet pipe(near the outlet itself) so that when there's a black flow, air will be sucked in and break the siphon of water from the maintank to the sump.
Anyone who has done this before can help? I'm not certain where should the hole be drilled at. Removal isn't too wise as water could splash down like an OHF filter outlet and cause bubbling which results in salt spray. Another disadvantage is that the outlet will no longer serve as a source of aeration as the water coming out from the outlet cannot move the water surface.

Hi, I just cycled with a sand bed yesterday. I added some rocks today. (They are dead rocks actually, left them lying around for a couple of weeks without water..) Probably the ammonia level will shoot up soon. When am I supposed to do the water testing?

Did some water testing these 2 days
PH = 7.7 to 8.0 Ammonia = 1.5mg/l Nitrite = <0.3mg/l |

Just got myself a dymax T5 HO Quad Light. Is it good? I feel that it's not 'blue' enough.
On with only blue light |

The movement of water surface is good, it encourages aeration yet it eliminates the bubbling which causes salt spray. What's the wattage of the dymax light? How many bulbs?

Wattage is 24W per tubes. 4 tubes in total. Power stated there is 96W (24W X 4). Was told that this is a HO T5. |

Yup, this is definitely a HO T5. With your current lights, you fulfill the light requirement of a wide range of corals.
