    Skimmer question. help me set this thing up better

    I might try to do that mod for the return. not sure of the inner workings and might be more to it than just cutting something off >.< and thank you for the advice!

    Skimmer question. help me set this thing up better

    I just looke dit up and can't justify $30+ to see if it will work to my wife :p as an update I have cut off the inlet reducer to the css125 so that I don't have as much backpresure on the pump and the mod to the outlet is keeping the level stable. Seems to be skimming quite well now...

    Skimmer question. help me set this thing up better

    It looks like I have solved the problem with surging with a mod posted on RC. It apparently does it because the return can form a siphon. So far so good I'm keeping my fingers crossed. The only time I had it overflow was when I first hooked it up it was in a sump chamber that water level...

I don't have the funds to upgrade at the moment and currently I only have 1 6" foxface rabbitfish, 2 pj cardinals, and 2 perc clowns, along with verry little softy corals and an RBTA. I know the thing isn't a good...

    Well a chunk of that rock is now in my 60 g with the other pests. I'll keep an eye on the rest of the rock and hope there's no more in there hiding. Thanks

    Sump Question

    It can be added to an existing tank, and although adding a HOB refugium would give you the refuge area, and the canister gets filtration out of the main display it still doesn't give you a place for the rest of you're equipment. Alot of people use a HOB skimmer and fuge and just put there...

    Thank you, It's eather 110g or 115g. It's a flat back hex and I can't find a calculator to figure it out. The same dementions are sold under both gallonage. Gota love manufacturers. :p might be calculated with and without overflow area. The size of the overflow is kind of a love hate...

    ID Please

    Just noticed this on a new pice of liverock I added a few days ago and freaked thinking it was Aptesia. But taking a closer look it's pinkish/redish and the mouth seems to be more clearish but still pinkish. Any idea what anemone this is? not sure if RBTA's have the bubble tips at this size...
