    Any one watch Ultimate fighter!

    Lesner turned Mir's face into roast beef. It was sick how dominant he is. GSP is still the man to beat. Bisbane fight was sick, he was ko'd after the first punch and Henderson hit him as hard as he can when he was unconsious because he wanted him to shut his mouth, atleast thats what...

    Skimmer venturi

    Yea, i wouldn't advise meshing it as the pw does fine on that guy. Like skimmy said the venturi needs to be closer to the pump. The closer you get the better it'll work. You can create a venturi that is 1/4" id air injector with a 1/2" restriction and it will work for you much better.

    Question on Lubrication of Power head

    Could be calcium buildup on the impeller, magnet could be getting weak, shouldn't need to be hit to start up. Soak it in vinegar for 24hrs and try it again. The whole pump and impeller. White vinegar.

    Extreme line skimmer update

    Roscoe, it'll do well in 8" but if you throw it in 10" you'll gain a few scfh per pump. And if you push in the reducers and cut the line where its as tight as possible your pry going to get 35-36scfh per pump with the pw's.

    we changed our lighting fixture and have ??

    150w on a 72" tank seems kinda low. If its a 22" tall 125g i'd suggest going with 250w mh's.

    Any Ideas on T5 Problem?

    I warn people all the time, if the sicce is to meshed out they will burn up. I've never ever heard of one leaking voltage or causing a fire or anything like that but the motor block basically dies and it takes an hour to get it started with a pinwheel after that. I've killed a few with mesh...

    Experience with Ballastwise.com

    Anyone ever use a MH ballast from them. I'm looking for a 400w eballast and i've always heard good things about this company. They are manufactured in the USA. The 400w MH eballast runs nearly identical as the new vertex 400w mh eballast. After reading about the galaxy, bluewave and vertex...

    Skim Clean

    Yea they have been out around a year pry. Thats as much as alot of people pay for there skimmer. I don't mind cleaning mine once a week. I'm not that lazy. I'm sure the argument will be the skimmer will work this % better with a clean neck 100% of the time vs x % of time. We all know how...
