Tank really hot when I got home need help

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have a eshopps sump and what you men’s they don’t go together my ph has always been that and same with my water the water around is very hard even right out of the tap
How do you test this? Strips or liquid?

That tank is way overstocked. Full stop.
 
I’ve done both but those numbers were with the master kit
How hard is really hard? Did you test Kh or Gh?

So including your sump the volume is 115 gallons (90+25) and that's a lot of fish. What flow rate is the return pump, and can we get photos of your magical sump?

What a sump is rated for is totally irrelevant honestly.

It comes down to how efficient you have the media and flow set up.

Your sump can be advertised “rated” for 200g but if you don’t have the right media it could be as efficient as a whisper 10 hang on back.....

Post a pic and we’ll help you out to maximize your setup. We won’t even charge for this advice so keep your Benjamins and gold bars.

Not worth losing anymore of that $1000 stock
 
That uaru looks awfully guilty. I bet that is the bully in this case.
