    Ebay skimmer

    I just recieved the skimmer(got delayed 1 day by UPS) and the model wasnt the RS5-3 but the ES5-3. Im not sure what the difference is. Everything looks great and I cant see how its blemished. I have 1 question hopefully someone can answer. It didnt come with a air control valve for the venturi...

    Ebay skimmer

    Thanks for the responses. The seller does have great feedback. This model is rated for 90 gallons and Im sure everyone over rates there skimmers. My tank is a 60 gallon so I think I would be ok. I might have to make a purchase.:D

    I was looking on ebay for skimmers and ran into this. Is this a good deal or some sort of scam? http://cgi.ebay.com/Euro-Reef-RS5-3-Protein-Skimmer-BLEM_W0QQitemZ7746089255QQcategoryZ3212QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

    Amphipods?

    Ok I searched Lobophora and yes I thats what it is. Its not out of control right now but I want to make sure it doesnt. Its not the most attractive stuff. Its mainly on a rock on the bottom so removal would mean tearing most the tank apart. Oh well, I think I have decided to change salts and I...

    Amphipods?

I dont have algae problems except some strange brown algae which cant be scrubbed off and its only on a couple rocks and it grows very slowly. I have 2 emerald crabs that rip it off and...

    Amphipods?

    As I said I dont do anything calcium. I really need to look into changing salts. Im just nervous about doing so. For the most part everything has gone really well with my tank and I dont want to mess anything up. I really appreciate everyones responses, thanks.

    Amphipods?

    No Im not dosing anything. When I get low on salt Im thinking of switching to IO. Pardon my ignorance but when you say scleractinians, you mean SPS and LPS right? I do have a couple LPS. Is 480 ca a real problem for this?

    Amphipods?

    Whoops missed the question on tank general health. As far as I can tell all is good. Here is some of my test results the last time I checked and they stay really consistent. Nitrate - Lowest on Salifert(I forget the numbers) PH - 8.4 SG - 1.025 Cal - 480 (oceanic salt) DkH - 8-9 (Have to use...

    Amphipods?

    Thats what it is then, you descibed them perfectly. I see them all the time, I mean all the time. There must be a lot in there but I have never seen alive one. Some are pretty big too. So its safe to assume everything is ok? Thanks for the replies too.

    Amphipods?

    I got a question Im sure someone can answer. As far as I can tell I have Amphipods floating in the water column. I dont think this a problem but they dont appear to be alive. They just float around and dont move. The fish will put them in there mouth and then spit them out. Whats going on here?

    Those are great suggestions. It would be nice not to waste the water, my water bill is already high enough as it is.

    RO/DI Questions

    I only use 20-25 gallons a week, so 100 gpd would be plenty. I was thinking of using the water supply to my hot water heater or my washing machine. Is that how most people plumb theres? Sorry if these are stupid questions.
