    Protein Skimmer Question

    I have a 75 sw with a 20 gal sump. Would you recommend the xsm 160or200, or the asm g1 or g2? These seem be the ones I keep hearing about. Is $309 for a ASM g3 a good deal?

    Octupus Xtreme skimmer

    I am thinking about getting the msx 160. In the mean, I have an Excalibur skimmer if a bio ball modded maxi jet 1200. Do you think it will help if I recirc'd my excalibur until I decide which skimmer I am going to get?

    Octupus Xtreme skimmer

    if you do the mesh right, were talking 1200 lph of air @20w, some can even get it up to 1300 with a little venturi and outlet modification. What venturi and outlet mods are you referring to?

    can coralline be green??

    Don, I have the same stuff growing on my glass, almost like calcium deposits on the glass, only it is green. Magnet glass cleaner will not take it off. A friend of mine told me to use a razor blade.

    brown algae on top of #00 bahama oolite live sand?

    I believe they eat copepods that are living in your tank. How long has your tank been established?

    keeping the syphon going on HOB Overflow

    You are right, it is a CPR over flow. The LFS has the same one on their 150gal. There is a nipple on the top, this is where you suck the air out to get the syphon started. The LFS has their air line in the tank, underwater, so it doesn't lose syphon. I didn't feel very comfortable using that...

    DI water or USP

    Exactly. I agree. There is a sump pump at work that pump out the condensation from humidifying chambers and the humidifiers only use DI water. We just replaced one which had been setup for five years. The pure DI water made the inside of the pump, and any water passing through it, raisin...

    DI water or USP

    I was just looking it up on yahoo. USP is what pharmaceutical companies use for their product. Sounds like it would be great for an aquarium. They uses UV light and many many different methods to purify the water. I think DI will work just fine. The only bad thing with DI is that it draws all...

    DI water or USP

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I recently got 15 gallons of DI water to use as top off water. It is DI water (deionized). Is this bad for my aquarium? I also can get USP water. I put USP in before and had no problems. Is DI water bad for aquariums?
