    OT - Pictures of the rocky California coast

    Yeah Blazer, your right. Aperture blades can cause "stars" at smaller f stops. the number of points on the star depends on the number of blades in the lens. I have used a star filter and its fun to use at night with bright points of light.

    Sorry its a Remora with a MJ1200. It still hasn't worked, its been a week. Is there anyone out there that uses a Remora in a sump? If so, how did you get it to work? I'm curious if I have it located in a bad spot? Maybe all the tank water slips by without getting caught in the skimmer? Maybe...

    Here is my new RBTA. As expected it walked about a short distance when first put into the tank, then it found this rock and hasn't moved since. So far it seems to like formula 1 and mysis shrimp. The clowns don't care its there, hopefully someday they'll host...:rolleyes:

    Hey Mike, I think I confused you with my old shirt comment. The shirt is actually wrapped around the outside of the drain line to muffle it. It cuts the water running noise almost in half, I still hear it going through the overflow, but thats tolerable for now. Id like to quiet it down ever more...

    Its still not skimming today. So it has been three days that there is no sign of it skimming (I reinstalled the sump Wednesday). I moved the cup up becasue it was set pretty low from before. Could the silicone or pvc glue be affecting the skimmer? Im used to the skimmer stopping from feeding the...

    oK so i got everything running. Its great but i hear some "running" water coming from the drain hose. I wrapped it in an old shirt and that helps a little. But at least no flooding! So my next big question is how long should I wait before I worry that teh skimmer isnt skimming? I moved it to the...

    Well, I went ahead and bought a CS100 and got it installed tonight. Out of the box it is a lot quieter than my old overflow. Im stil tweaking things but its much better.

    I found a place in town that carries that ribbed flex tube made to length, so im gonna try that with the new CS100. Thanks for the input so far. Ill let you know how it goes.

    Cool, I guess I will look into that flex pvc. Im trying to find that ribbed hose but no one in town carries it. I noticed in your last picture that the hose had a little rise in it before it hits the sump, did that cause any nose or problems? Heres my current plan, CS100 (with aqualifter) to 1"...

    Oh I was also thinking about trying to find so stiffer tube, something like a vacuum hose or hot tub hose that could take routing under the cabinet without kinking... any advice on that?

    Well after mid night last night I had to pull the sump out of operation. Now my cabinet is soaked! Right now my tank is running with no skimmer, phosban filter or UV filter (all were moved to sump). Krish, I think your on to something. I had a 1"ID braided tube running from the bulk head down...

    I'm not really sure, I was sitting trying to hear the TV over the gurgling noise and then water hit the lids and then dripped down the glass, i saw that and unplugged the return pump which saved the carpets. Ive been watching the water level ever since. It seems to fluctuate up and down for no...
