I'm a huge fan of air driven (wood airstones) HOB skimmers,I have one still running on my 75 that I bought about 20 years ago and it works great.
It was made by RT.24 aquariums systems (anyone remember the store?)
You can still buy these from other manufacturers, and I'm considering having one...
Has anyone besides me had success with these?
I just realized mine is about 1 year old sometime this month,it seems every time I read about them it's bad news.Are the ones that are being collected now substandard or something?

It worked perfect with the heat.
Cranked up the stove and just kept turning it and I was able to pull the fitting apart.
Thanks for the help.
Jim
Well the title about sums it up,my wife and kids have been wanting one and I have lost the battle.
I can't seem to find any breeders or stores that carry them in NJ.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
OK thanks lots to think about now.
Wendy AWSOME site that tank is unreal.
The price difference between the 12x80 T5 and the 3x250 HQI with 4 80 watt T5's is only $100.00,so I'll do more research and keep checking here for more thoughts.
Thanks again

I'm looking to change the lighting on my 150,I'm leaning towards a T5 12x80 72" light.
Do you think this will penetrate down 28" to the bottom being about 6-8" off the water surface?
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks
On my 150 canopy inside the 3 doors is cut down to the tank rim.
All the front support sits between the 3 doors and the ends of the tank and it's stable as a rock.
HTH

If you goto the forsale forum under 150 RR for sale mine is there with a blue back.
That film stuff sounds neat but I don't know what salt creep might do to it,seems like the same principal as car window tint film.
Your right Phyll
I misread that. :-[
My distibutor also stated there is more info. to come so when I recieve that I will post if it is worth posting.So I retract my statement about raping angels and butterflys.
I agree to protect the yellow tangs.
What I don't agree with is putting a ZERO cap on angel collecting.
This is saying a collector can only take 5 tangs but hey lets make up the money and rape the reefs of 1 or 200 angels and butterflys daily till they limit these.
I think voices need to be...
I just recieved this from a distibutor I deal with,this is going to be super scary if it goes through.Everyones voice needs to be heard on this one.
Aloha all, The Hawaii Legislature is considering to pass a bill that will limit aquarium fish collection in Hawaii to 20 fish per collector per...
Ok just found out he did a canopy like mine that is 16" high so the light would be I guess at minimum 12" off the water for airflow.So is 250 still an option?
He also said HQI.
Thanks again
