    Is my skimmer working?

    Not sure but I think the other connection you are talking about is the air intake. Like I said I'm not sure.

    Lighting

    Scoobydoo, I just got off a 12 hour shift and will get those instructions out to you tonight. Chances are right now I would probably leave out most of them.

    Help with Toadstool

    As you can see he is also leaning over onto a piece a LR. I think he does that to prevent from sticking out of the water. I have dug the sand out and placed the rock he is attached to right on top of the glass. I don't know what else to do. I really don't want to have to trade him in. Thanks...

    Help with Toadstool

    My toadstool leather has almost doubles in size since I got him. I am trying to talk the wife into getting me a 90g tank for xmas. In the mean time is there any way to propagate my leather to cut down on his size? If the water level drops down past the bottum of the canopy then the leather...

    fans for canopy

    You could get 110v fans from Radio Shack and then just wire them to a plug. I used an old computer power cord for mine. Just make sure you check the db rating on them. I got my fans from my work and they sound like a jet taking off when they start up. After a while you don't notice them.

    Lighting on a 55G

    Right now I'm running 2 110w VHO's and 2 40w NO's. I just put together 2 ballasts for MH lights. Is 2 250w 10K MH's and 2 110w Actinics to much for a 55g? If I cut back to only 1 MH and 2 VHO's then I don't think I'll get the full effect of the lighting throughout the whole tank. Any...
