This is a little late to help you guys, but if you mix in some sawdust from the piece of wood into the filler, the color comes out closer and it's much easier to stain. It also depends on the filler you use, the pre-mixed stuff being more difficult to match.

If your Picasso got sucked in there, it wouldn't be pretty. Once he hit the impeller, it would be all over for him, and possibly the impeller too. If there aren't chunks of fish in the skimmer, I'd say he didn't get sucked in.

You're welcome, I'm glad it helped. Ok, so as far as the pump goes, almost all healthy fish can swim well enough to not get sucked into the pump inlet, but snails and other small inverts can. It would be a good idea to put an intake screen on there, you should be able to find one at just about...

I have the same skimmer and it works great once it breaks in. The directions that came with it are another story, but the skimmer itself is good. First thing you should do is turn the return elbow tword the back wall of the tank, this will help with any stray micro bubbles. Most bubbles will...

The water it produced had a really high kH level. So every time he did a water change, he was raising the kH level in the tank even more. Eventually it started affecting his corals and fish. He lost all of his snails, and a few corals. Now that he's switched to better water, (RO) everything is...

Buy a Carbonate Hardness test kit, the Saltwater master test kit doesn't have one in it. My neighbor started to loose fish and corals a couple of weeks ago, he tested with everything in the master test kit, and all of the levels were fine. He got a kH kit to find that his level was through the...

A friend of mine has one. He has had some issues with it. You'd probably be better off getting RO water from walmart at about 25 cents a gallon until you get your RO unit.

Ouch, that's pretty far. Are you willing to ship? How much does it weigh? I'm not looking for any exact numbers, just want to get an idea if it's worth it to ship. Thanks

Where upstate?

Bump

What's included with the refugium? Do you have a light for it?

Yes, I still have it.

Hey Bob! I just bought a 46 g. bow front setup from Bob here, and I saw this 125 g. tank while I was there. This is a beautiful tank for anyone interested, it's about full to the top with live rock with purple coralline algae all over it. (Gotta be between 150-200 lbs.) It's as complete of a...

Horsin, thank you for helping, that's pretty awesome of you. I'll call you tonight after work. As far as the silvertip goes, I got mine at the local Petsmart. They're hit or miss, but they usually have some. I think it was about $6.50. Alistair, I live right next door in Warwick.

You could use it as a hang on, if you attach a couple of elbows on the return and intake ports, (see page 7 of the manual) but it's big. It's about 6" in diameter, and the base is about 8"x8", so you'd need a bunch of clearance behind your tank. As far as the pump goes, Red Sea recommends their...

Used Red Sea Berlin protein skimmer, needs to be cleaned, no pump. $50 Pick up or buyer pays shipping.

I've been told that Silver tip sharks (catfish) do well in a marine tank. I have a small one in my freshwater tank (about 5") and he's pretty awesome. Very active, but doesn't show much aggression twords the other fish in the tank. I don't have any first hand experience with them in saltwater...
