    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    Hey Everyone, Sorry about the huge gap in time but several things have taken place. 1) With all the heavy rains out here, that put some delays into progressing with the test. The rain has been so much it actually was affecting the salinity in the system 2) I had spoken with H&S and they...

    Is the water level in your sump lower than usual for some reason and it's pulling air bubbles ? Dave B

    Chaeto Question

    I have no problem keeping chaeto alive. I can leave it dry in a bucket and it survives. I have left it in a bucket of freshwater for a couple of days and it survives. For it to dwindle down, either something is eating it, or you are missing something that it needs... which could be a very good...

    Maxx, Thanks for the Kudos. I am putting the opinions into layers using Front Page. On all my computers (5+) the pages are clear and nothing overlaps. Is anyone else having this problem ? Dave B

    Hey Guys, The second round is officially under way. Today (Monday Jan 3) I went and cleaned all the skimmers. I got the electrical issue solved on the MRC and it has been cranking. When cleaning the skimmers today, the Grotech smelled like dead fish, which makes me wonder if I lost a...

    Round 2 - In Progress The Round 2 is finally in progess. I had some electrical issues which prohibited the MRC from running - that has been resolved. This is a really good round. All 3 skimmers are producing well, and they are 3 totally different designs (Down draft, Beckett, Venturi)...

    Need help finding thread on wavemakers

    Ampmasters will definitely not work on a timer -- They are efficient because they do not have a strong motor. One of the issues with the Ampmaster is that they don't always spin back up after turning them off. If you have dolphins the better way to vary their flows is to used motorized ball...

    Scott, The best part about your old skimmer - Is I am using a RIO Hyperflow 12 to pump it. 30watts, silent - Rated at 740 gph. Seems to be working better than the Iwaki. Tsadik and Invinc, I have the opinions of 5 people that came to view the first batch, I need to put them together and...

    DGAS, The MRC is working, however, for some reason at night the MRC is popping a GFI circuit. I have not been able to resolve the issue yet - and rain is supposed to be here all week - And playing with popping GFI's in the rain is not my idea of a wise way to start the new year. Dave B
