  2. Continuous syphon fugue?

    So I set up a 5 gallon fugue for my 75 display. I ran two siphons with quarter inch tubing from my display to the fugue then the fugue to he sump. Does running it to my sump defeat the the whole point? That and does the same size tubing from the display tonthe fugue then from the fugue mean that the water level will remain level?

    Thanks
    Jon.

  5. Finally done! Well almost.

    After weeks of planning and waiting vie finally got a 75 gallon deep demesion setup at my home.

A friend came over and using his skills as an ex fed ex worker we carried that huge box into it's hopefully final resting place right next to my tv. We strong armed that bad boy(which ive named Bruce) on to the stand ...
