Bump for new prices $100 shipped for skimmer $180 for T5 fixture w/ 4 bulbs in fixture and 4 new bulbs. Still without shipping Jeff

Sorry, forgot to mention my location. I'm in Abilene.

Bought the Tunze nano skimmer new back in March of this year. Still in great condition. $120 shipped 24" T5 4 bulb fixture purchased from hellolights in December 2008. But I've only had it running since March. Comes with 4 stock bulbs with 3 months of use on them and 4 brand new bulbs bought from reefgeek 3 weeks ago. Never used the reefgeek bulbs and they are 3 blue plus and 1 actinic white. $200 Shipping NOT included. Need to find out what shipping is.

Do you have pics? I'm interested

I miss posted. Pushed the wrong button, sorry

Thanks, I'll check them out

I'm in Austin for the weekend...any LFSs to see?

I have two different 14k 250W DE bulbs One is Hamilton 14k and the other is SPS Blue Life 14k Will take $20 each. Will pay for shipping myself Bulbs are about 8 months each

I had PFO mini pendants from before. So I fixed the lights to hang from the ceiling. And I built my own canopy and of course left it open top. So maybe someone could tell me how to fix it to work?

I'd love to buy the lights. Don't know if there are pics anywhere on here of the lights, but I'd like to see what the setup looks like to see if it'd work on my tank. By the way, I'm thinking maybe, but not sure, is 400w each too much for a 100 gallon tank? Tank is 60"X20"X20". I look at keeping SPS

I can't believe this hasn't sold yet. It's an awesome looking tank at a good price.

Can do! EuroReef RS100 Skimmer (3 months of use, bought new)- $250 shipped Quiet One 3000- $60

Here's a link to my entire sale [link removed]

Very great to hear about yall's plans. Also a little sad to see you selling your reef. It's a very gorgeous setup. My tank has just cycled and I'm finally ready for livestock. Hope to get it as nice as your 125. Good luck with yalls plans and good luck on the sell!

Here's the pic. I got it figured out. Thanks everyone for yall's input

I'm feeding with the skimmer.

Yep, that's what I came home and worked on. I removed two of the baffles from the bubble trap and it's working alot better! Now I have to figure out how to get water to the return from the fuge faster. Both baffles left in place are the same height. Should the fuge/return baffle be shorter?

I will take a pic later, I'm in class right now...but 1st time I tried everything for the first time...I left the drain open while I filled up the tank to let some water in the sump. Before I turn the skimmer and return pump on, the water level is about 2" below the rim of the main tank. The skimmer section, fuge, and return section is full (baffles are 8" high). I turn on the return pump first to get the tank water level at the rim. I shut the return pump off and I then let the tank drain again with skimmer on to get water moving in the sump. Once the return section was full I then turned the return back on. The return sucked up water pretty fast and almost emptied the return section quick. I think the problem is the bubble trap I made. I bought a 55 gallon tank and placed baffles in myself. Anyway, the water from the skimmer flows out into the bubble trap but the water just tends to stay in the bubble trap and back track back into the skimmer section. It's all very confusing and I was getting very frustrated Any help would be great. I know it might sound confusing Thanks

I'm starting to set up my 100 gallon. I filled it with water to test for leaks, and none so far. I'm having trouble with my return. I have a Quiet One 3000 (I was told it would be too much for my tank and I was told it'd be just fine) so my drain has pretty good flow, but my return is sucking up water like crazy. I have a ball valve to control the flow, but it still sucks up water fast, leaving the return area very low on water. And I guess my skimmer is my flow for the sump? It's pretty slow at getting water across. If I let my drain go full blast, it would just fill up the skimmer section which would lead to filling up the fuge section then getting the same dirty water through the return. How do I get equal flow from my drain and return?
