    Starting over?

    I started with a Seaclone 100 at the "advice" of my LFS. Later on I noticed its the Only model he carried. Long story short, do your own homework. I now have a Octopus skimmer that works 10 times better, and needs No adjusting. The Sea Clone needs constant air line adjusting to keep from...

    Advice, Please.

    I go this little group of Zoas/Polyps. First, I don't want to glue them, they fit in nicely on this bridge with their rock wedged in a slot, will they grow out without being glued down? Second, anyone know what they are? Almost neon pink eye, purple to blue body, and a purple skirt. Sorry my...

    Problem with Skimmer. HELP!

    You need to raise your collection cup. I had that happen as well. There should be some space between the tube and lid. Just lower your o-ring and wait.
