-

-

-
you could put him in a rabbit hutch while your at home just for a few hours on a regular basis

doesnt suck air as it stops at the waterlevel so long as the out pipe in overflow box is same height as the tank waterlevel i need to correct diagram i use 32mm or bigger pipe
-
i put the return pipe from sump into the pipe to fill at the start from then on it runs automatically
-
so long as you fill the bent pipe that goes into tank to start it will work automatically at start of power during power cut the bent pipe always remains full of water as both ends are in the water the one i run has the pipe going to sump from the hang on box at the same height as the tank water level this ensures the pipes are always full as the sump pump starts back up it automatically flows into tube in tank and starts the process again
-
diagram of overflow you need to fill bent pipe to start it we use 32mm pipe and elbows to give good flow out box on side can be plastic jug with handle hung on side of tank to sump can be glued or pipe fitting i think i have pic right size if not please let me know
-

-
well done david
-
as evil said works with our guppies
-
now have 10 moths they live for 2 weeks and don't feed just breed
-
the answer would be in the affirmative to that one
-
now your getting tricky that is a water level float to shut down flow when water level in sump too low you could fil;l sump with water and pump up to a bucket to see how the whole thing works check pipe ends and see what fits the best on which pumps
-
nice looking unit
-
the one in the middle of photo looks like return pump one on left has clamp to fit on tank lip
-
biggest will probablyy be one to return water from sump
-
looks like all the gear is there white pipe from sump to tank plastic pipe from over flow box into sump connection water will flow from overflow box to sump then pumped back to tank through white pipe, use red tap to regulate so waterflow is same in as out i think perspex with holes should sit in top of sump to create layer for water to trickle through into sump bit hard to sort from photos hopefull someone more local will read and may be able to help giant jigsaw
-
brown box looks like over flow box with pipe to sump tank and ryan is correct on white pipe return, red tap to regulate flow 1 of bigger pumps to return water from sump, pump on right maybe to create flow, water movement in tank in tank
-
is there a hole in the tank left hand back corner in photo?
