  1. Which canister filter do you use? Tank size? Would you buy it again if you could go back in time? Which one would you buy now if you had to get another one?

  6. well, this is a good thread! I have a 90G oceanic "ultimate reef ready" and it has a large center brace (about 1 foot wide). I've always wanted to remove it, but have never really found a solid answer that says I can remove it. My uneducated opinion is that it was for the two removable panes of glass that came with the tank. oceanic never responded to my questions about removing it, so I gave up
  7. perhaps these could be the snails that get passed around ARC for cleaning purposes?
  8. there's always that one guy on every forum
  9. My two cents, if you soak that pump in straight vinegar, it will look like new the next morning!
  10. Good news! Skimmer is working the best it ever has! Making the really large crusty looking skimmate. I did 3 things. 1. added phosban reactor with activated charcoal to sump 2. started using Kents Liquid Calcium reactor 3. ran skimmer pump for a couple of days in a 1:1 mix of water and white vinegar. I did note that when I first put the pump in the vinegar mix, it was making the very frothy (alkaselzer) bubbles. Right before I went to bed, the bubbles looked larger. That night I put the airtube under the water surface so that water would get sucked in through there too so it would get cleaned. Next day, I pulled the tube out to get air and left it like that all day. When I got home last night, the bubbles were not frothy at all, much larger and very smooth. Rinsed the pump out with water a few times and popped it into the sump, lowered the riser tube almost all the way down and cranked it up. Skimmate started to form quickly but was larger and no where near as foamy as it had been. Sump didnt fill up with bubbles and its working great!
  11. I have a Euroreef CS6-2 with the Sedra 3500 pump, and my pump is making wayyy too many bubbles, to the point that it comes out the riser tube (even with a foam filter on it), the sump water turns white with bubbles, then my main tank turns white with bubbles and you cant see anything. I have tried letting the skimmer run for a while and let the fish bump into stuff, but it never stops. I then tried mixing some fresh salt water overnight, then putting the pump in a clear bucket to watch the action, and it looked like someone dumped a box of Alkaselzer in there, it was foaming and bubbling like crazy! So it cant be my tank water. I even tried moving the 1/4 inch spacer from the front of the impeller to the rear and that did reduce the amount created, but it seems the bubbles are so small, it just foams. Any thoughts? Oh, the impeller is about 3 months old and not missing teeth. I pinged Euroreef and they gave me some tips and pointed me to http://www.euro-reef.com/euro-reef-product-maintenance.asp I was wondering if any of youse have a skimmer that uses the same pump and if I can bring mine over to try on your skimmer. That way i can see if the problem is with my pump? This is my impeller: http://euro-reef.com/pdf/reference/euro-re...er-assembly.pdf This is what my pump looks like, it has the 3/4 inch outlet: http://www.f3images.com/IMD/250/AG1633/AG1633_1.jpg
  12. Any of youse have a Korallin 1502 reactor setup and running? I purchased a used one and I'm trying to set it up, but I'm just not getting these instructions. I'm a very visual guy, so if I can see pictures of one setup and how its connected, I can roll. I found the instructions on Korallin's site, but the Ausgang and the Enigang arent labeled on my unit, but I do have the Auslauf and Enlauf labeled. I just dont want to mess this up and would rather wait on some useful info before I goof it.
  13. looking for (2) icecap 660 wiring harnesses. I'm in Gtown but work in RR.
  14. I'm sure you dont wish to part out at this time, but if you get to that point, I'm interested in the Tunze ATO
  15. dude, thats some serious lookig current across the top of that water!!
  16. ok, dumb question, who is prof?
  17. lets take a step back and start with some basics. The simulator probably needs a specific video resolution to run at and may have a maximum, ex 1024x768. most systems that are capable of running Vista can run at high resolutions. what resolution does the program require, the manual should state this. Then, what resolution is system system running at? In Vista, use the help to see how to change the display settings to what the simulator needs
  18. virtual machine should work if the system has enough disc space and ram to pull it off. does the software have any kind of log files or logging that can be enabled to help you see where the fault may be?
  19. Hiya Clint, that looks great! I'm curious, can you post some info about the bulbs you're using (brand etc) and placement from front to back? I'm about to convert from (4) 110w VHO's to (6) T5s and not sure about the bulb combo I'll use. Rey
  20. I'd like the hammer coral, sending PM to you.
  21. Link didnt work for me, could be cause I'm at work?
