Hey all, I have a mandarin goby and I was wondering if there were any products available that i could use to help supplement feeding. Particularly, I was wondering if there was something I could add to aid in the maintenance or increase of my pod population. I have a 75g reef with lots of rock...

I have a yellow watchman. I have seen him(or her) do some cool stuff like digging holes by grabbing mouthfulls of sand and carrying them to a pile. On the down side, mine does tend to hide a lot. I really like him though.

Awsome mixer btw.... great idea.

What kind of pump do you have? Some "submersible's can be run inside or outside water. If you know what kind of pump it is you could probly look it up or somone might know.

Cool, thanks for all of the helpful info... and encouragement. I feel much better about attempting this whole thing. I just need a little free time and I'm going to get going on this. Im a busy guy but I think I can poke away at it a little at a time. I have a lot of fun playing around with this...

Hey all, I've been reading up more on this stuff. It has been suggested that I use 2 1inch bulkheads for the overflow. Would it be OK to put both of them inside the same overflow box? I have also seen 1 1/2' bulkheads available. Would one of those be sufficient? Finally, I have read of issues...

Thanks for the links Sleasia! I think im ready to give it a shot. I'll keep everyone posted.

Oh jeez, i didnt even realize that. Thanks a bunch Sign Guy.

Great, thanks for the link. I think I will try that method. I have experience working with stained glass, I should be able to pull it off. Any suggestions for the other questions: Bulkhead size? Location? Will the design with a skimmer box work? Refer to above post.... Thanks again all, -Mike D.

Hey all, I have a 75g setup with a 29g sump in a very nice custom stand. I am currently using a siphon tube overflow box and it works pretty well. I am going to build another 55 or 75g setup and would be using a standard All-Glass Aquarium. I would like to do things a bit different on the new...

I went through all the troubleshooting stuff and It still wasn't workig properly. Made sure the return hose isnt bottomed out, it has more than 1inch space above the pad. The air inlet is clear and is making lots of microbubbles. The top of the pump is about 3 inches from the water line. I...

Hey again all. After some more tinkering I think I may have found out the problem. I put a clamp on the tube that connects the pump to the skimmer and restricted the flow. Does anyone think that maybe they gave me the wrong pump? It seems too powerful? I dunno.... but thats all I can come up...

Hey all, I purchased a new Coralife Super Skimmer 125 and I cant seem to get it to work properly. I decided to use the Hang on method and put in on my sump. I followed all of the directions setting it up.... at least I think I did. I left the flow valve open all the way and plugged the skimmer...

Thanks for the advice. I think I will go with the "needle wheel" with the pump included.

A CPR Bak-Pak 2 would probably be excellent for your system and I have heard positive feedback about them.

OK. I found two different types of Coralife Skimmers. One is a Venturi Skimmer for $100 and requires a 650-750gph pump. Question would that size be sufficient for my system? They also have a Needle Wheel system rated for 125g that includes a pump for $115. Im not too sure on which method Needle...

Thank you. I will look into those. Any other suggestions/recomendations?

Hey all, I have a 75g reef setup with a 29 gallon sump/refugium. The bio-load on the setup is moderate. I am looking to purchase a new skimmer. I had a SeaClone 100 and I cant seem to get it to work properly, basically The collection cup fills up too rapidly and overflows out of the hole on the...

Ah... Thank you very much for the info. Can I remove them by hand safely? Perhaps I can take them to a LFS or put them in my fuge.

Hm... well they dont seem to be really hurting anything at the moment. I guess maybe the best thing to do is keep a close eye on them and make sure they dont start taking over. I'd hate to kill them if I dont need to.
