Nice Fish Cam. Waiting to see some fish. What is the ETA?

I am not too sure how confident I am in the ASM product line. I just purchased a G2 with the Sedra 3500 and the pump was so loud that I couldn't run it. I am in the process in sending back the pump and I hope that this was an anomoly but for now I have a question mark for ASM products. I will...

Thanks guys, Hey DB how is Rockford treating you. I played for the Lightning 90-91 season. Thanks again, Haakon

Thanks for the replies guys. Yes I have made sure that the collection cup is all the way down. The skimmed foam that I do get is very dry with only a small amount of dark green liquid residue accumilating. My phosphate and nitate levels are high leading to a pronounce algae problem. With all...

I have been working on my Berlin Clasic Protein Skimmer and am not sure how much liquidy green residue is normal. I am sure there are many variables that come into play (85 gallons, 7 fish, high phosphate readings) however is a tablespoon over a couple of days far too little to expect from my...

Hi Thomas712, Is there a how to somewhere that I can reference to make this modification? I am interested in finding out more about this enhancement. Anyway good news is that for the first time there was about two table spoons of green liquid in the collection cup. Is this normal amount for a...

Ok. Th skimmer is in the sump and I will run it in that position to see how that changes things. I guess if that doesn't work I will do some cleaning. Thanks again for the assistance. Haakon

Hi Dogstar, I get a nice stream of fine bubbles so that looks good. My protein skimmer is located just outside the sump with a Mag 5 as the pump. Does it make any difference by placing the skimmer in the sump or changing the elevation of the skimmer relative to the sump? I greatly appreciate...

Does anyone have a Classic Red Sea Protein Skimmer that works? I have been fiddling with mine for a month now with on a little foam appearing and then nothing. It certainly isn't skimming well. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Haakon

Sounds good. Personally I don't mind the sound of water falling. It is just the constaint buzzing sound from the pump that gets on my nerves. All the best. Haakon

Hi Hun25, I am in the same situation trying to find a quiet pump. I have a Mag 9.5 and it is much quieter than the RIO that I had. I can't really hear it run over the noise of the cascading water running down to my sump. I am happy with it however I needed a pump for my protein skimmer so I...

One area that I don't completely understand is how the high Phosphate levels propogated themselves. The RO water did not have Phosphates and even the tap water here doesn't have measurable Phosphates. Do you know how they got so high. Are they dangerous to fish or do they just help with the...

Thanks for the replies guys. The bulbs I have are hamilton compact flourescent bulbs. I also have a two 55 watt blue light type bulbs that I don't tuen on. I hear they are for corals. I have the protein skimmeron but it is hard to disregard the humming noise of the Mag 7. I hear an Eheim...

Hi Thirty6, Thanks for the reply. I have not been using the protein skimmer because the pump for it is too loud. It is on now making an undesireable noise. It is just difficult to enjoy a tank with a constaint buzzing sound. The tap water top offs have been done when the RO water was out and I...

Great board. I just started five weeks ago a 85 gallon salt water tank which I thought I would use for a fish only tank. This is my first salt water tank and I have run into a couple of issues. I have a Berlin protein skimmer that I have not used much. I am having a tough problem with...
