I do appriciate the help from everyone. here is what i have right now water level is not at the threads like the instructions but it is just under the line on the neck under the collection cup. Bubbles are just into the cone about 1/2" Does this sound about right?

when you set yours up and had the needle-wheel valve half way open and your water-level adjuster all the way open did the water level fill your collection cup or start producing bubbles and not overflow?

yes starting over water and all. I didn't use this skimmer with the last setup because I could not get it to work it has been sitting. I know it has a break in period but I was getting absolutly no bubbles in the skimmer by following the setup instructions. I actually lowered the water level in...

I am in the process of resetting up my tank and am having a problem getting my skimmer setup. I cannot get bubbles to form without it overflowing unless I have the water-level knob fully closed and the needle-wheel valve about 1/2 open. I have moved the pump from 3" below surface level to 3 1/2"...

I take about 5 or 6 stalks of xenias into the LFS for trade every two weeks

everyone always has something to say about the pattern background. Honestly I have the same background and it works perfect with the height of my LR and my SPS's sitting atop the rocks. I put a black one on recently and I liked the reef look background better on my tank. This is my opinion.

Good luck I am about to hit a year with my 55 gallon. Be careful with the manderin they need lots of pod to feed on. I still haven't considered one and my tank is swarming with pods.

I have a 55 gallon with 2x250 14k MH and 2x65 PC actinic. It's perfect.

I actually just traded in a few of my bigger fish at aquatouch. Great store wonderful employees and their new reef tank is beautiful

here is some information i received from someone on the algea i am going to try this my dKH is a bit low now. "some of your algae looks like dinoflagellates, some looks like like cyanobacteria. the bubbles you see are the oxygen thats being produced by the algae. my suggestions would be, raise...
