    Any good Plumbing Diagrams?

    Krich, You are right. Half the 10 gallon tank is bioballs. I plan on taking out half the balls and making 1/4 the 10 gallon tankk bioballs. I also thought of buying a couple of plactic ontainers and using them as sumps. One for the biobals and skimmer with a drain to another for the return...

    Any good Plumbing Diagrams?

    I agree. I also have a Aquaclear 500 power filter that I use for mechanical filtraion. This makes a desent surface agitation. I need to figure out how to make a bigger sump than the 10 gallon aquarium I am currently using. It just is not big enough. It has to be no more that 10 inches wide...

    Any good Plumbing Diagrams?

    Thanks. I will check out the sea swirl. I actually will be using 2 600 gph pumps. I figured I would put 1 return in each back corner of the tank. Not sure if I should use a 90 degree elbo so the water shoots across the serface, or us a 45 degree elbow so it shoots down into the tank.

    ASM G-2 skimmer question

    Well, Thanks for the input again guys. I will probably order the skimmer this weekend. One question though... Right now my sump is split in half. Half is full of bio balls and half is where my pumps sit. I am going to just move the existing plastic wall that I originally built to aplit it...

    ASM G-2 skimmer question

    After long time thinking and asking questions, I think this is the skimmer I will buy. Krish, Thanks for all your help!! My Gold Severums (South American Chiclids) just layed eggs for the millionth tiem. I just pulled the eggs out of the 55 gallon adn put them in a 5 galon. They should...

    ASM G-2 skimmer question

    Thanks Krish. You are exactly right. For those wondering, Here is the answer from the ASM staff that I emailed. Recirc Mod - this allows for finer bubbles. When you set your skimmer up as a recirc, all that the pump does is pulls water from your skimmer, adds more air via the venturi and...

    ASM G-2 skimmer question

    Wrightme43, What does the recirc mod do? Does it keep the skimmer from emptying into the sump during a power outage? also, what is the function of the gate valve mod? What is it's purpose?

    How deep does the water level have to be for the skimmer to operate. I only have a 10 gallon sump.

    Seaclone 150...good buy?

    Its rated at 110 gallons. Should be good for my 90 gallon. Wish I had room for a bigger sump. As you can see by the photos, I am really limited for space.

    Seaclone 150...good buy?

    If I go 24 inches tall, I will have 4 inches extra to remove the collection cup. Also I have a 10 gallon sump that is split in half because half is bio balls. The space I have on the sump side of the 10 gallon is 9 1/2 by 10 inches. I am sorta thinking about the G-2. Smaller footprint. Plus I...
