It being newly updated JBJ probably doesn't have the website updated all the way to reflect the new features, same with the retailers. I personally have no clue what the new ratings on the pumps are, but good powerhead pumps run cooler and can be had at low cost.

The elbows on mine arrived cracked, so I know how you feel. Most folks do not utilize the sponges as they tend to become rather efficient nitrate producers, instead they place live rock rubble in one chamber, as for the bubbles, do you have the skimmer too high or low in regards to water level...

the eclipse hoods are supposedly extremely difficult to upgrade in regards to lighting, but it can be done. Anemones require intense light that the Eclipse flourescent bulbs just can't produce, check out ahsupply.com, they have many many retrofit kits that can probably be adapted, also check...

look a bit past the end of the flourescent bulbs right on the reflector for what looks like a hole in the reflector metal, look carefully and you'll see that it looks like clear plastic filling that hole, thats the LED, the LEDs I've seen in this hobby are of the round variety, around 3/16ths of...

I assume you have the aquapod? I have a Nanocube, its light switch runs the lights and fans, and the switch on the lid operates the LED moonlights.

check out www.smallreefsolutions.com, they have a video detailing the installation of a fission skimmer. It is targeted toward Nanocube owners, but perhaps it may help you.

I keep mine between 81-83. It hovers toward 83 lights on, so I said screw it and set the heater to keep the temp in that range for stability. With the heater off, it drops to mid-70's lights off. But thats a bad thing, so I average 82 at all times now.

Livestock list (so far) Inverts: 3 scarlet hermits 3 astrea snails 1 nassarius snail 1 conch (queen I'm told, but unsure) Corals: 1 quarter sized BTA (came as hitchiker on rock, it eats, so maybe I can get it to grow, who knows). Fish: 1 purple firefish LR - about 13-15 pounds Sand - about 12-15...

Thanks, she is gorgeous. Well, the rock was already cured, and I only have a couple hermits and snails in there besides the fish, and that only for a couple days now, so the skimmer hasn't been doing much except making billions of bubbles and filling the cup with water. I guess theres not...
