    Copepods not thriving in my sump

    Alki, it just takes time. I've always had a steady population in my tank, not huge, but steady. Here recently after 3 yrs ive noticed a HUGE population of brime shrimp and pods in my sump. But it took 3 yrs to get this population like this. There's literally thousands of brime just swimming...

    Extreme line skimmer update

    I would still run the pump on the 200 facing down. I always had best luck with the intake down. Just have as little slack as you can in the tubing. And if your running the pw push in the reducer a few mm's. You will get more air that way. And 10" water depth works best with that guy as well.

    Extreme line skimmer update

    Gotfish, the mini cone has the pump on it like the 160, so its under the body. The tubing has a sharp 90 degree in it then straight up. There is a bend, but the tubing doesn't kink. So pull it as tight as you can without kinking the tubing : )

    Coral ID..

    I'd have to go with a blasto after hearing that. Its also splitting like a blasto. Just pure green which isn't real common.

    Extreme line skimmer update

    Yea, its all stock, just small mods and ther not really mods to me. I noticed with the long tube it made the air meter bounce a bit. With it shortened it doesn't do this. Its larger than the 160 but the footprint is nearly identical. The base of the cone is 9" diameter. I hooked up a air...

    Coral ID..

    Its a green heart coral : P No clue but it looks nice. Looks like an lps, thats all i got. Is it soft like a blasto or hard like an acan?

    nice CHEAP small skimmer

    That and the 4" head added will hurt the pump performance. You may go from 500lph to 300-350, which would be a large decrease in skimmate production and the neck may then be a bit to large.

    over flow box ?

    Personally i'd never run a cpr as there are to many horror stories about them flooding the carpet. If your luft pump ever goes out you will have an overflow. In a utube the syphon won't break after a power outage and as long as you check the utube's on a regular basis for air bubbles you'll be...

    Sand Sifting Goby

    They call the brown barred goby diamond goby's here. Its by far the best sand sifter i've ever owned. He's been in my tank for 2+ yrs. Remember though, with great sand sifting power comes with great coral covering power as well.

    Gorgeous tank Greg. In the last pic there is some gsp creeping on the right side, are you having any problems with the gsp climbing up your sps base?

    Very Stuck with Acro Problems

    I'd agree with chicas, you pry had a small cycle. That and your trates are a bit high and temp a bit low. What did you use to have the temp at? And are you using a refractometer to test your sg or a swing arm?

    Skimmer Question

    Sounds like two things may have happened. The sicce's are directional so if it runs one way it will pull round 20scfh and alot less water flow, the other direction is alot more water flow and alot more air. Unplug and replug. If thats not it run some hot water through the venturi line, and...

    Skimmer wont calm down

    Something got in your tank and its going to do that until its out. I'd give it 3 days. You can tell by looking at your water level in your skimmer, if the foam head is alot larger than normal, this is the issue. Only other thing it could be imo is if the venturi line is clogged up a bit. Run...

    Best food there is bar none.

    Couldn't you just throw some in your homemaid food and blend them up? Then freeze them in IC trays. This way they are always getting a little of the oil.

    New Addition

    Nice pics. The thing that is cool about those rabbitfish is they can change colors in seconds and look nothing like that. The thing i hate about mine is it tries to fin me if my hand is in the tank. Its straight up evil. It doesn't pick on any corals except for colt coral, which i wish he...
