    A 750g SPS system is born

    I couldn't really tell you. I worked out some deal with George (GEO) that would not apply to most, so if you are interested in something similar, smaller, bigger, or even just different I would suggest you call/email him directly. He is an awesome acrylic worker and for custom and regular...

    A 750g SPS system is born

    Mike: That was a picture taken by GEO of HIS son standing next to it. He told me the kid was an incredibly overgrown midwest 10 year old, but I thought he was exagerating. It wasn't until I saw the skimmer in person that I realized how big this kid must be :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin:

    Gas prices Whats yours?

    I know this is the politically incorrect to say in the US given we all love drive SUV's and trucks the size of semi trucks, but as far as I am concerned they should charge $10 per gallon to those driving SUV and trucks unless they are for work purposes ONLY! If you have a v-8 car, you should be...

    A 750g SPS system is born

    I am yet to even get this thing out of the house into the fish equipment area, however I can tell you that is this skimmer ends up skimming half as good as I expect it, doing a 2000g system should be no issue at all!! For my current system and bioload, it may be a little too big. However, that...

    AC2 made my neighbor's house a hunted house????

    Thanks to everyone for all the replies. I was disappointed to see that even though I posted this same thread in RC at the sponsor's forum, the Neptune people did not even bother to reply to it. Turns out that wha was happening was the following. My neighbor turned out to have all his lights on...

    A 750g SPS system is born

    The skimmer's box is 16"x16"x12". The main chamber is 12" diameter an it is 6' tall. I divided the chamber so I can take out the bottom piece if I wanted and use it in a shorter version. It will be fed 750-900 gph at most. The wet neck will be fed by the same source feeding the skimmer. I was...

    A 750g SPS system is born

    Thanks guys. Here are some pictures of the skimmer. I just got it yesterday, but it will be a little while before I hook it up. I ahve too many other things going on right now, so it will have to take a back seat for a couple of weeks at least. The air intake will be at the bottom via a...

    AC2 made my neighbor's house a hunted house????

    Yes, there is a community cable, the gate access actually dials to the house's phone, and there is the same company's alarm/monitoring system in the entire community. Upon further talking to them, they tell me all those lights having the funky action are on dimers that have a little remote to...

    A 750g SPS system is born

    Thanks for the hurricane concerns. It actually passed through Miami and Ft. Lauderdale. I am about an hour north of that, so on most days we see more rain than what we got because of it. I heard from a couple of people further south and they tell me there are some power outtages in some areas...

    A 750g SPS system is born

    I may stick with the 20,000 K radiums afterall. Intensity has not been an issue here as things are growing very well. Most people exagerate things when it comes to reef tanks. It is not just about the lights, or flow, or feeding, or the skimmer. It is about the combination of things. So many...

    A 750g SPS system is born

    Thanks Kevin. The material is very resistant as it is actually made for outdoor use. No scratches or scuffing so far. I did notice a couple of places warping a tiny bit. I will be soon adding another small 4" far to combat humidity. This one will take out the air from above the tank to the...

    A 750g SPS system is born

    Well, I have been working with GEO for the last few weeks to build me a monster CC air stone skimmer. It is almost packed and on its way to me. Here is a teaser of a couple of preliminary pictures. It will have 4-5 of the 12" ceramic air stones pushed by a yet to be determined air pump.

    A 750g SPS system is born

    Nope. It is made of some sort of polymer plastic. It states in the site where I got it from that it is chemical resistant and such. I have no worries there.
