    Sea Swirl

    On the newer models you can rotate clockwise until you get the angle you want. But on the older model you can not. I do not know the exact time when they changed them.

    Need help with Chiller Info

    I have seen the tradewin chiller in LA. A number of wholesalers use them. I am going to acquire a 1/2HP Aqualogic dropin for my 300 gal. The Tradewind and aqualogic seem similar. A number of local stores claim that the aqualogic are the more reliable. But, that is heresay, not necessarily...

    Modifying Nautilus Skimmer

    You could use a needle wheel pump like a sedra or another brand. I was thinking of trying it but never had the time. However, by the time you buy the pump, you may just as well buy another skimmer.

    padding under acrylic tanks? / silicone question?

    Has anyone seen a tank manufacturer recommend using foam under the tank on a website? I have heard some store recommend it, but never have seen the recommendation in print from a tank manufacturer.

    Deltec Turbo 1060 or 1250 Skimmer

    Is the Deltec 1060 more quiet than the equivalent euroreefs or ASM G4. I have a G4 and it seems a little noisy. Also, I noticed that the 1060s requires less power than the 1060 which doesn't seem logical. fishermann, how long have you had yours and did you buy from a local dealer or the US...

    Aquarium Stands Constructio Reference Data

    Hi: I have seen large acrylic tanks (300+) on anything from 3/4" plywood, to 1 1/2 in plywood, to styrofoam on plywood, to the tank on the basic frame on 2 foot centers. Since I am settingup a 300, I am trying to determine the best base between the tank and stand. Thanks!!!!!!!!!

    Aquarium Stands Constructio Reference Data

    Some folks talk about placing a 1/2" styrofoam sheet between the tank bottom and the plywood top. I have seen a number of stores that use this approach. Doesn't quite make sense to me, but they claim it reduces the stress due to the variation is surfaces. Anyone out there who has done this...
