Okay... I just finished building a skimmer today however, It's not working properly. I get bubbles but not a whole ton of bubbles. I have attached pictures to view. #1: this is showing the skimming. There are bubbles on the top of the water in the skimmer but they aren't going up and out...

The Magic Wrap worked like a charm. Incase anyone is interested, you can pick it up at the local hardware store (it was in the automotive dept. where I went). It is a roll of rubber with NO adhesive, it just stretches and sticks to itself. I put one layer on and it still had a slower drip, I...

Okay.. ha ha ha. Seriously, can I add the rock while it is still cloudy? And, can I just put them in or do I have to acclimate them? Just so everyone is clear, when I put them in... I'll do it gently. PS - I will only add one piece at a time to see where the water level is, this way making...

I'm not sure... BUT HD carries marine goop in the paint department.

Will do! Question: Do I have to acclimate the rock to my new tank?? Or can I just plop them in? Also, can I put the rock in while it is still cloudy or do I have to wait until the water clears up??

Well... The pipe is completely dry on each side of it. I tried spreading GOOP all over it and it didn't seem to work. So... I went to home hardware tonight and I bought a roll of something called Magic Wrap. I'll let you know how it works. it is suppose to make a solid rubber seal around...

Thanks!

thanks for the help.

Okay... Good for me. Cheaper. LOL Thanks.

I'm not to concerned about the coraline algae - although I do want that to re-grow. I just want to make sure that it will still do its "job".

I bought my 90g tank about 2 or 3 months ago now. It was infested with bubble algae when the other guy owned it so I was advised to put the LR in a Rubbermaid container and put the lid on it to stop the light. I did that. I have a heater maintaining 80 degress. Salt is right. 2 powerheads...

Are you talking about the sand that they sell at the LFS?? They sell 15lbs of what they call Live Sand. It is packaged in a plant but you can see that there is water in the bag.

PLUMBING LEAK!!! Help... I fired up my tank today and everything works like a charm. I tested the siphon break 3 or 4 times and worked without fail! There is one 90 degree elbow under the tank (the drain line) that has a slow leak. One drip every 6 or 7 seconds. Everything else seems to be bone...

I never thought that I would have to read directions to sand! No, as I mentioned in the original post, I did not rinse it. Should I empty the tank and do it again, or just leave it and run the skimmer and powerheads??

I finally got my new 90g setup this weekend. I put the sand in it today and filled it with water. I finished all the plumbing on it yesterday. I didn't rinse the sand first because it is so fine. It is dead sand. I put it in the bottom of the DT and in the bottom of the sump/fuge. I have not...

Thanks... When I'm done building the skimmer, I'll post that too!

Sorry forgot to ask... Do the siphon breaks look like they will work??

Thanks! I'm going to trim the sipon breaks after I get the water in it so that I know where the water line is. As for the paint... I was thinking of getting a solid black window cling and using that, but I am open to painting it. Only one question: Where do i get the paint and what kind of...
