    Some Rust In Tank...

    I found 2 stainless steel hose clamps on the hose leading from my pump. I took them of as I'm sure this isn't good. Cannot find plastic hose clamps except on Foster and Smith website. Anyone have a suggestion. I put some zip ties on it ( YIKES ), but am very worried about the hose coming off...

    Having Some Problems - Don't Know What To Do

    Thank You Thank you both for your replies. "Return of Sid" - I will bump up the SG and check into a larger volume skimmer. As far as water flow goes, I don't know in terms of gallons per hour, but I believe it's a couple of hundred gallons per hour...it's a heavy duty pump...a lot of...

    Having Some Problems - Don't Know What To Do
