Hi Merv, Thanks for the info. The flow rate that you are quoting is pretty much the same as with the H&S. Actually my skimmer runs fine and I have zero nitrates using Salifert. I am bored though and was looking to so something. I had see the plans below on the H&S forum in terms of tee-ing...

Oh well, at least we still have the pictures on the net to remember her by.

I believe, and I could be wrong, that the scientists were rather amateurish in their reasoning of why doorknobicus was a deep water species (even thought they are correct), this species is quite heavy and usually sink to the lower depths of the water. The lesser expensive species can be found at...

Increasing the size won't solve the problem and may make it worse. 1" on a 29 gallon take is certainly enough. What pump are you using? Ken

Actually, increasing flow will solve the problem as well. An other option (since you have a strainer is to put a gate or ball valve on the pipe going into your sump and close it down until the noise stops. It will stop when the pipe is almost filled with water and hardly any air. The only think...

it is sucking down air. That is why the noise. Can you submerge the entire strainer so that is unde water entirely? By the way, I like the doorknob coral you got in your tank. It appears to be one of those BSP's (Brass Steel Polyps). :) Ken

Hey Merv, You said that you are now using a gravity feed for your Deltec skimmer. My H&S is basically the same model as yours. I am going to split the flow from the tank between the skimmer and sump and use a ball valve to get the proper flow rate to the skimmer, and I know how to plumb it. I...

Bet he could catch my clown. Ken

Thanks Sam for coming all the way down here and spending the time trying to defeat the beast with me. Well, we put out a great effort, but unfortunately, a one ounce fish defeated us. He is still having a grand ole time going back and forth between nems. I guess we could have used Bill Murray...

Thanks. Sam, as I am typing this post I swear that that clown fish is sticking his tongue out at me and giving me the fin. Ken

Nice. How much it set you back? Ken

Here is my '05 Ultra. I bored out the cases and made it a 107". http://upload.pbase.com/image/75227529/large Ken

I debated getting this guy as I wasn't sure if he would pick on any corals. I have had him for about 4 weeks and so far he hasn't touched any. The photo below doesn't do him justice. He is beautiful. http://upload.pbase.com/image/75202811/large Ken

I got mine from Ralph a couple of months ago. I cut back to one feeding a week cause he is getting too big. He is beautiful. The only negative is that his favorite hobby is stinging corals. http://upload.pbase.com/image/75202680/large http://upload.pbase.com/image/75202769/large...

Now that's what I'm talkin about.

Thanks. I will try the Crazy Glue gel. I tried Mr Sticky this morning and it really should be called Mr. Sucks. It does not work. Krn

I'm here. Jazzsam is coming here on Monday to rid the beast. Maybe a contained dynamite of my reef might get him out. LOL. A firecracker? Ken

Thanks for the email. Actually I am having Jazzsam coming over on Mondday to help. Where are u located and what help do you need? Ken

What and where is the accelerator? So then I need more than just plain crazy glue? Ken
