What do you think about the 1408 Beckett mod for this skimmer with a mag7 running it?

Well I found out that is suppose to have 8 small bioballs for the chamber and mine only came with 4.So I took 2 med size ones out of my wet dry and put them in the tube.It seems to work better producing a drier brown foam. I have to see where I can get 4 small bio balls for the chamber.

alot of factors here.It depends on your filtration and also weekly maintenance.I have a 210 with alot of fish..

Thats a 180?Wow,looks great.It looks alot bigger than a 180..I love all the colors you got in there..Very nice.

Thank you all...

I think the silver side bait that I am using is making the skimmer shut down.I just fed them a varity of frozen no silversides and skimmers are working.. I bought the silversides from a bait and tackle store.Is there any difference?

I noticed you have two Naso Tangs.One male and one female.How can you tell the difference?

When it was working I opened the valve a hair so the cup wont fill up with water..Then I fed the tank 3 silversides and both skimmers stopped working again..:( This was at 8:30am and still not working.The Berlin is starting to make some foam...The Devil is all the way down..

Well it started working again and 4 am this morning I emptied a 1/4 cup of green water.I probably have to make it a little drier..Now it is 7:20am and both skimmers are not working again..I did nothing to the tank.. :notsure: I did not feed them or stick my hands in he tank..Kind of strange....

Well it has been an 1 1/2 hours and both skimmers are not working properly...So do I have to adjust the skimmers everytime I feed them?

Every so often my Berlin XL skimmer would stop working for a couple of hours.The bubbles go way down.Usually after feeding.I figured it was the food.But now I also added a etss devil.I got it tunned in pretty good and all of a sudden the bubbles dropped way down the cylinder.I looked at the...

Thank you for all the compliments...Yeah I think the after looks way nicer. Plus the fish seem to like it better.More place for them to hide and swim through.Now only if the coraline algea would start to grow.
