    WOO HOO New Skimmer!!!!

    Ok, another minor issue. The water really shoots out of the outlet pipe from the skimmer. I'm talking like over 2 feet. A trip to lowes and 3 bucks later it's fixed.

    harlequin tuskfish

    I love it so far. I told my lfs to stock up on hermits and snails once i get it into the DT. It's colors are really starting to come back. Lets see if I can figure out how to post pics, even though they are not real good.

    harlequin tuskfish

    I've wanted a harlequin tuskfish for awhile now but just haven't pulled the trigger. So I'm at the lfs about a week ago just standing there talking to the guy that works there.

    Octopus skimmer question.

    Thanks, I'm not to concerned about the sump space. I'm going to build a sump around the skimmer.   I have been told to always go bigger then what you need. That's why I was looking at those 2.   I have some messy eaters so i want something that can handle the bio-load.

    You can, but keep testing the qt tank. If amonia gets high be prepared to do water changes.

    Don't shoot it!!!!!!! Not because it's mean to do so, but the smell is unbearable . Trust me.

    I guess it depends on how far gone the fish is. You can fill up the QT with water from your main tank. Add as few pieces of live rock too. Just keep testing the water. May sure you take the rock out of the QT before you start copper. You can also put a sponge or some other material in your tank...
