Maybe you should adjust the air intake valve. Close it 3/4 to 1 full turn and see if you accumulate more skimmate. Do you add additives to your tank? This will also effect the preformance of the skimmer.

Is the skimmer producing skimmate in the collection cup yet? There are bubbles in the skimmer, right?

ha,ha,ha,ha, now that you mention it, i probably dropped over $3000 into my 45 reef over the past 5-6 yrs(please, don't tell my wife, :D ), and thats penny pinching (where i could) Wow! thats a chunk of change....... but worth every cent!!!!!!!!! :D

In my experience, its pretty normal for your corals to react that way with this treatment. I have used this product in the past with fairly good success and my corals all bounced back when the treatment was done. Are you running carbon or has it been removed from the system?

Originally Posted by gfk anyone? when it makes bubbles its really loud, anyone elses like that? Yah, its a little loud at first, when you have the air valve wide open. After it is broken in, you can close the valve about half way, this helps in the noise department alot. You don't need the...

I'd say mushrooms or a colt.

Looks real good! I have a green morf like yours. Mine has tripled in size in about a years time.

Nope, long gone.

In what order did you introduce the tangs? Do they all get along together?

Looks good! Can you give us a full tank pic? :D

Hmmmmm :thinking: I beleive we have a few Red Lobsters in WI too. Sweet gig man! Maybe you can put in a good word for me at the next corperate meeting. Good luck at the new job! Seems easy enough to service a few of those lobster tanks quaterly. Does Red Lobser look for a maintanance person...

Its some type of mushroom, possably green striped.

Looks real good, keep up the good work!! :joy:

Hay man, i know what you are going through, it really sucks! I am in the same boat. I changed my bulbs last month and now have a huge hair algae outbreak. I am doing 15% water changes every second or third day, running chemi-pure, phosphate removal pad and shortened my photo period to eight...

I am thinking of adding an pygmay angel to my 45g reef. Has anyone kept a bicolor angel sucsessfully in a reef tank with minimal coral nipping. I know each angel has a 50/50 chance of nipping coals, but anyone beat the odds with their bicolor? :thinking:

What brand name is the sterilizer? Did you ever replace the bulb in it? Is this a HOB unit?

What kind of UV sterlizer is it? How many watts? How old is the unit? thanks

I have a Penguin 330 HOB filter if you are interested. It is missing one side of the cover, but other than that, it works great.

Hay Tony91tx, i am looking for a HOB fuge, something like the CPR aquafuge. I like these because they are only 4" deep. Please email me saltyreef@webtv.net if you are still building fuges. thanks

Open the air intake all the way to let as much air in as possable. You can adjust it if nessassary after it is broken in.
