I have no idea about Dalton's water chemistry, his personal business practices, nor how he made his feed. All I can say is that when I spoke with him, he did not strike me as incompetent. I'm sure he had test kits, and if the water was heavily fouled, he would know how to do a water change.
Please take the time to make a diagram, or take a couple of pictures with your phone, which illustrate the function of this external up-stand pipe, and what happens to the water once it overflows out of it. |
somewhere in amongst all my shit i have a memory stick with some pics, but for now it is missing. i will post more shit when i find it.
honestly, though, all the stuff you asked about has the answers in the previous posts, or in the link i posted, even a diagram. you should be able to work it out yourself.
and this must be boring everyone else just as much as it is boring me.
kinda getting a bit like the koi/comet debate of a few months ago, and i have no idea why.
do the "glass of dirty water" test yourself, and you should be able to understand what i have been talking about.
