Probably has sumpthin to do 3-2262's for sale recently.

[geoff_tropheus]

I will confess...

As many of you know I pipe cleaned and snaked both drain pipes. I cleaned and blasted, and snaked both drain hoses..., I cleaned added, removed the prefilter pad...and still nothing worked.

Then today I decided I was going to give this another try, I was going to fix this thing. What I noticed, was as I lifted the lid of the wet dry, one side was trickling and the other was flowing/spraying all around. So I switched hoses, and the same result happened. Then I thought is there some kind of diffuser in the lid? Surely not, surely the 90's on the lid are clear.

I found 4 bio-balls stuck in the 90 on one side, and 3 stuck in the other side. I removed them, and viola!

Flowing like a champ, both pumps running now. The thing is gurgling loud as the day I went with Jolley and picked the tank up in Dallas almost 3 years ago.

WEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[gotticgs]

buy some eshopps spongoes for the pipes and slide them all the way over the slits where water enters

that should take care of the gurgling

[geoff_tropheus]

At this point I am jsut glad its finally working like it was for the previous 2 owners.

[geoff_tropheus]

[fshfrk]

Great news! You want your mag12 back? It's not a problem at all. Serious! Let me know. Now you got superior filtration. What are you going to do for mechanical filtration?

[geoff_tropheus]

I am running a prefilter on the sump that is blue bonded pad and felt pad for fine.

I need something for more mechanical filtration, but at this time other than like a HOB on the sump, I have no options because there are no cutouts in the top of the acrylic tank.
