    Hang-on Skimmers

    i've used the coralife super skimmers only thing about them is that they are a bit loud, the pumps are. they make good skimmate though, just have to clean the venturi intake every once and a while

    My Hawaii Trip

    i went to lahina (read rest of thread) in the third and fourth pic are urchins, those things are everywhere, much more than i would have ever expected, the fourth pic the urchin has a bunch of stuff on it's spines and such, that one was when i was scuba diving, i'm actually holding it for the pic

    Question about skimmate quality

    sweet microbubbles are always annoying, i've heard filter socks help a lot with those when put over the output, and i'm thinking of making my own DIY skimmer right now, a recirculating nw venturi one

    Question about skimmate quality

    some people do like try skimming, i let mine bubble out the top a little and then gets some liquid, though raising the level a bit will probably yield good dark skimmate, what skimmer did you modify and what mods did you do

    My Hawaii Trip

    I stayed one just a bit north of lahina called papakea Ya the turtles are protected, but they're friendly as long as you're alone and dont' make quick movements and such, one time one that was about 5 feet at least just swam around me, it was one of the most amazing sites, unfortunately at that...

    My Hawaii Trip

    ya, it's an amazing place, i was in maui by lahina which is the west side by th shore, unfortunately after one day when i went snorkeling for 4 hours south swells started coming and stirred up the water making the water cloudier. So i didn't get as many good shots after that day, we saw a group...

    Quiet Needlewheel pumps

    I have two Coralife Super Skimmers and have been satisfied with their performance but the pumps are a bit loud for my liking, so i've been thinking about getting a new skimmer that is quieter or building my own, in either case i kinda want them to be recirculating, but the main thing i'm looking...

    Point and Shoot shots

    I thought i'd start a thread for point and shoot shots I just bought one for college, much more convienant than carrying an dslr everywhere, and i thought i might as well try it on my tank just to see how it does, here is my favorite shot thus far out of about 10 or so it was a bit too bright...

    Anthias not eating a lot

    alright, i just thought i'd let you all know that my anthias has become more bold with time, hopefully even more later and i see him out now before i walk into the room, though when i come next to it he slowly goes back to his hiding place, he's been accepting frozen mysis, and i still haven't...
