lol, it ain't that great, if the beach wasn't 10 minutes away i'd be unhappy in FL but I guess it beats living with cold snowy weather up north. and you know I can't go out partyin every weekend, gotta take a break some times

one more question, Instead of the skimmer drain going to the fuge, I made it so it goes to the first part where my tanks drain in to, will this be ok or too long of a distance? The skimmer seems fine wth it but I don't wanna burn out the pump or something...

I can't imagine it burning up the pump. The only thing I can think of would be back pressure on the output of the skimmer. Which would increase the water level in the skimmer causing it to overflow. Now you say it seems to be okay, so I would just watch it closely.
Also on your other question of the bubbles going into the fug. I can't think of it hurting anything. Just think of the waves and the bubbles they cause out in the reefs. Plus you don't have any corals in there.

the bubbles are back and I don't know why, they aren't from my skimmer, I put the ball valve on and now the older tank is filled with them.

Sounds like there is an air leak in the valve or one of the connections to the valve.
my ball valve was kinda leaking, I used like aquarium silicone to seal it but it is still kinda wet, is that my problem? I just need to make sure it is sealed?

If there is a place for air to enter the pipes, valves etc. it will cause microbubbles.
ok got it, I put more silicone around where i connected the ball valve, not as many bubbles so ill let it dry and see where im at, thank you for the quick response

Sorry guys, I answered in your other thread since that is where the problem is coming from.
meowzer; Why do you keep saying that that thread will give a headache? Did I ramble that bad?
