    Closed Loop Microbubbles

    It’s worth a shot Ron. One less possibility to consider.

    Cheap Needle Wheel Pumps

    I have a local made skimmer whose manufacturer is no longer in business. It originally was a re-circulating venturi type which worked so-so, even with trying stronger pumps than what I bought it with. I now run it with wooden air stones and the performance of it is much better. With all the talk...

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    I really think this will help Carlos. With the way your baffles are set up, the last wall should send the water flow and bubbles upward allowing them to disperse to the surface given that the water level is well above that last wall. Instead, your water level is lower than that wall causing the...

    Dissecting an Aquapod

    He probably did have some Don but now they’re just a pile of smoldering ruins... They couldn’t withstand the constant tinkering.:p :lol:

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    I don’t know if you’re already aware of this so I’ll say it anyways, and forgive my babbling if you already do... When you go to do the mod on your skimmer, be sure to use an actual gate valve. Don’t try to cut corners by using a ball valve because they won’t give you the fine...

    How can I get clearer water in my tank

    Welcome to RF danny! Can’t wait to see the pic’s! I’m surprised that your UV isn’t helping out any... This also makes me think that there probably isn’t any kind of bacterial or algal water bourn bloom taking place. Although, how old is the bulb in your UV unit? It’s recommended...

    ALK help

    Ten hours is usually the norm... Actually the actinics are more for your pleasure so it’s up to you if you want them on during the whole photoperiod or not. Most people usually do.

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    I guess... But that would turn you into a sponge cleaning slave! :lol: Maybe just temporary to see if it narrows down the location. Although from your video, the only bubbles that I really did see were coming from your overflow inlet... Maybe you could put an inverted tee fitting on the end of...

    ALK help

    Ha, ha Fishead don’t we all! :lol: You can but RO or RODI is usually much cheaper!

    Sounds like a good plan!:)

    ALK help

    It’s possible if too much is dosed too quickly into the system. From my understanding pickling lime is a cheaper form of kalkwasser which if used in a top off fashion should be administered gradually throughout a 24hr period. Like in a drip setup.

    ALK help

    Either a water change or it will gradually fall in due time as long as your not adding anything into your water that is making it rise.

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    Well... You could try to do the gate valve mod shown here with some instructions but I’d try to do it without cutting your riser tube first somehow just incase you didn’t like it or that it didn’t help... Sorry not sure what else to suggest. :confused:

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    Hmm... Kinda hard to tell exactly from your video but that was neat anyways! Maybe you could try to raise the water level in your return section... It looked like there was a little water fall action going on there and by raising the level in there may cut down on some of the turbulence in there...

    Recommend macroalgaes for the main tank

    Hmmm... I’d consider it still a bit too small for a tang. I don’t think you need to bother with putting a little cheato in the main tank from time to time... Not likely that your clown fishes will graze on it. Although they’ll hunt for the pods within it.;) Oh, and I wouldn’t suggest...

    Boomer; Off-line till March 1

    Yeah, she started it... It’s all her fault! :D (doing a side step with hands in pockets)

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    Yep, much agreed... If I had forums like this or a computer for that matter when I first started out, I would have saved quite a bit of money and many fish as well! ;)
