  9. from what i read, the levamisole hydrochloride (levasole) that i am using for an AEFW dip is supposed to kill these guys too, but as always - not the eggs.
  10. sure stephen, just gimme a call 2108466784
  11. i build em here in SA, here is a gallery of some of my work.
  12. if the metal halide bulb is double ended (DE) - i am assuming it is because you said HQI - then you have to have the glass shield in place. SE bulbs are made of a thicker glass, so they shield the corals from too much UV by themselves, but DE bulbs are made of thinner glass and must be used with a glass shield to prevent UV damage to fish and corals. you do not have to use a glass shield with the PC bulbs.
  13. i have always heard that it will cause them to brown out. in my tank - lots of fish, and heavily stocked - they tend to turn green when i first get them and then slowly get back to their original colors. maybe there is some truth to it.
  14. took me about 8 hours to finish the second skimmer - here are some pics bending the back tapping threads for levellig screws glueing redneck clamp finished skimmer - drain is cut long right now, will cut to fit on installation
  15. hahaha - you know - theres nothing like a spray of saltwater to the face to really wake you up in the morning. hooked up the skimmer this morning and figured out that it wouldnt work very well with the becket in upside down :lol also figured out that the air valve will shoot a pretty good stream of water when the beckett is upside down after correcting, it runs great - this is after about an hour
