    Question Sprung A Leak! Help!

    Okay as if the problem with the skimmer is not enough. Now the tubing from the overflo box to the sump which is down in the cabinet of the the stand, has sprung a leak, not a big one but enough to notice that the carpet was wet! What can I do to fix it? Is that tube replaceable? Please help!Thanks,


    Just a small tank...

    turn off the return pump til' you have it fix. and wipe the wood real good so water won't soak in.
    Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...

    I have several tubes that might work. Call me on Sunday and and I will swing by and see if any of them work. If so you can have it.

    How's it going? Got an update for us? Good luck. I know leaks can be very frustrating and my entire plumbing system for the return is completing cemented together because of 4 various leaks.

    If your budget allows for it do not do what I did and be sure to replace faulty equipment.
