    protein skimmer

    Originally posted by bcollie If her tank isn't clean, wouldn't that give the skimmer something to collect? Yes, "NE" said it had been running for a month and collected nothing. I'm saying that there is no way his/her water is that clean. It should have started to collect by now.

    Air-bubbles

    I used the same Fluval filter when I was running a freshwater tank. I'd guess that for about 2 years now mine has been running with the output below the surface.

    what is eggcrate... and will it stop eels and firefish from getting out????

    Use the search function and you'll find old posting with a picture. I'll give you a clue, it is NOT what you buy eggs from the grocery store in.

    Would my 80Gallon Reef tank be overstocked?

    IMO you won't technically be overstocking in the sense of bio load on the system, but most people would probably tell you to only have 1 tang in an 80 gallon. When you figure your bio load you can add the volume of your sump too! Good luck!:D

    Air-bubbles

    Originally posted by Dmitry Too bad these outputs can't be submerged in water!! (Can they??) I have a Fluval 304 and I have the output about 1" or so below the water line. Why did you think you can't do it? Originally posted by Dmitry I don't think there's anything I could do with the Aqua...

    Sea Clone Skimmer

    Originally posted by TangMaster I think the few bubbles are nice in addition to the GREAT benefit you get from the added OXYGEN!!!! Microbubbles don't add oxygen to the water. The oxygen exchange process takes place when the water's surface is disturbed. So I guess, technically, when they...

    Originally posted by JD I got my Aqua C remora for 130 bucks, should be here saturdya Thats a great price! Used? I don't think there is a SeaClone that is even rated for a 100 gallon tank, but I could be wrong. I'd also suggest waiting another few weeks, save your money, then buy a decent...

    The Do Not Buy List

    Originally posted by Loodachris DO NOT BUY from Large pet stores or really any multi pet store, unless they specialize in fish... Pet stores do not want to spend the time to carefully acclimate their fish and definately remove the fish from the tank properly and stress-lessly. JMO Wow! You...

    Couple of stupid questions

    I think this is more a matter of personal preference. If your fish are not aggressive eaters, it might be better to turn the equipment off so that the food isn't "cleaned up" before they eat it.

    is a sea clone skimmer a piece of c*#p?

    An AquaC Remora takes less space and is infinitely better.

    puffer question

    I wouldn't recommend feeding it corn regularly. The need a diet that is high in protein. How long have you had it? If its only been a day or so it might not be eating because it is still adjusting to the new environment.

    finding nemo fish

    You'd need a huge tank, probably 200 gallons. Even then I doubt you could keep the Moorish Idol.
