Canary is out. But my female clown who normally leaves everyone alone unless they're close to her eggs is chasing him repeatedly into the back corner of the tank. Not sure what that's about.

Yeah probably.Souns like the clown got ticked the canary didn't stay gone.
Hey I’ve been sifting through checking out your build a few times while getting my 1200 up and running. Now that I am I can confirm I had originally installed upside down, easy to do! I caught it though as soon as I filled reservoir and it wouldn’t stop filling .Love it so far. ATO is working great. Seems like the number one problem people have is accidentally installing it upside down.
Hey, welcome!Hey I’ve been sifting through checking out your build a few times while getting my 1200 up and running. Now that I am I can confirm I had originally installed upside down, easy to do! I caught it though as soon as I filled reservoir and it wouldn’t stop filling .
I’m curious if they are standard heights across the board with the cases, because this is what drives the water level in the sump, and I wish it was like an inch or so higher. Going into the return chamber of the pump the water level is just low enough to add the babbling brook sound to my living room. I honestly don’t mind it but the misses isn’t a fan.
I started searching because in my memory the first time I peeled through your build thread I thought I saw you replaced the float valve in the ATO system but maybe I was mistaken, or just can’t find it. It’s quite the thread to dig through.
This is my first build that isn’t an AIO setup so there’s a lot of research going down on sumps right now.
Love your setup btw!
Thanks! I have mine set to the highest setting and water level seems too low. Maybe I still installed improperly I will take a look.Hey, welcome!
You can adjust the sump level via the little screw on the side of the float valve. Mine is completely silent, I have it set a little higher for that exact reason.
I didn't replace the float in the sump, you're probably thinking about the attachment I built to run water to fill the reservoir as needed, there's one on that.
Interesting, is the noise bothering the missus coming from the 4 media pockets into the return chamber? I'm assuming that's where the babbling brook sound is coming from? I've got my valve set so that it's barely flowing over that area to hit the water level.Thanks! I have mine set to the highest setting and water level seems too low.

Yes that’s spot. I have it pulled apart right now, I can’t raise the float any higher, not with using the bracket that holds it. On the highest setting I am still about 1” too shallow. I am curious if it was installed at the wrong spot. If there’s any way you could pull a measurement on you’rs from the top of the glass that’d be sweet. Mine is about 5 1/4”.Interesting, is the noise bothering the missus coming from the 4 media pockets into the return chamber? I'm assuming that's where the babbling brook sound is coming from?

Mine measures about the same. Hmm. My guess is your float valve is the problem then, or mine shouldn't have set to where it is to begin with lolYes that’s spot.

In this pic I actually have the float set too high on the adjustment wheel, so it isn’t closing but let me know if it doesn’t look set up properly.
He's already attached to my blenny cave and started growing there as well lol.I’ve had that type of gorgonian attach several times in the past. Just go with it and consider it fragging without the work. Or move the gorg away from anything else. I think it might be kind of cool to have a group of little gorges growing out of the side of the tank.
