    That familliar snapping noise.

    From My experience with both.. Mantis will make a small sound while as The pistol will wake you at night to sounds like your tank is cracking... I have tested the Theory at the LFS with the Large Mantis and the noise is no where comparable to a pistol... The pistols make a loud pop sound like...

    That familliar snapping noise.

    You should be fine BB... Just dont walk around with the Windows Open LOL... I have seen others with BB tanks and a Goby pistol pair... The Goby really quiets them down alot... The noise is becasue something is Scaring them... The Goby such as the Watchman watches out and warns the shrimp...

    ALK SWING --> 1 Acro bleach bottom to top, 1 Acro Bleach on tips How to fix?

    It would seem logical... however I dont know.. I have only heard from people who have had issues with the alk being EXTREME in recent batches of IO.. James

    Get a WAtchman or Other Shrimp goby and he will quiet down... Other than the noise and figging there is not much wrong with them at all... James

    ALK SWING --> 1 Acro bleach bottom to top, 1 Acro Bleach on tips How to fix?

    I would check the Salt that you are Using... Been hearly lots of reports lately about a bad batch of IO.. Causing a few problems in Tanks with Extremely high alk.. If your using IO that could be the issue.. James

    Dual Skimmers?

    Nikki... From what I have noticed with the AquaC is that you pretty much have to turn the gate valve up quite a bit with their REcommended pumps to get any Skimmate... My Ev400 is pumping away at the skimmate like there is no tomorrow... That is the one thing that I cant stand the smell...

    How Do You Maintain Ca and Alk?

    I use my Ca reactor alone... There is no point/need for me to do anything else... I do my water changes monthly however I dont even bother with checking it as the last 4 batches of salt have always been the same... Still working on the 5th batch and will be for some time.. James

    Dual Skimmers?

    HEy Nikki.. Which one of the 2 skimmers seems to be working best.. Been curious as to an actual side by side of the 2.. IMO they are both the best out there.. James

    Dual Skimmers?

    Either External or Internal.. Doesnt really matter IMO... As long as you have good flow thru in your sump you should be set in any Configuration.. James
