we both own the house.... but mom always has something to say! lol!
i spent a good portion of my night switching out news paper (thank god we got flyers last week) and using a blow dryer on and off for about 4 hours... i'll go home tonight and really look it over... all of the stress in the tang has now given my scopas tang ich.. Freaking awesome.... NOT... but it's eating like a champ and still best friends with my sailfin... so i will just watch it.. there is no way of getting it out without tearing down my tank and stressing everyone else out.

This is what i use
http://www.reefshops.com/hang-on-ove...e-clone-2.html This overflow is long/wide so snail or anything else will have hard time blocking it. But nevertheless I use a screener on the intake and a second screener on the bulkhead. Also i use a vacuum cleaner hose (wide) to drain the overflow, and last but not least low return flow from sump to the display tank. This slow water flow is for two reasons: Gives skimmer (in the sump)better chance to process the water available at the moment and keeps usage of electricity low (no need for a high flow pump). Inside the display tank i have a high water movement with Tunze pumps. (low voltage also) The next step in safety is built in duorso stile oveflow with extra overflow pipes for redundency.

LOL! Lola is a dog... if you can call her that... i prefer the term guinea pig that barks... she was a rescue and in rough shape but my other half took her in as her own (so i am not taking any blame for that dog being in the house) lol she's a Chorkie... chihuahua-yorkie mix weighs all of 2.5 lbs! lmao!

Wow
This is why I'm contemplating a float switch inside my overflow box to cut power to the return pump. It may end up cycling a lot until I find out about it, but pumps are cheap compared to the alternative. Hope the visit goes better than you are thinking
