Six inches of water......the bottom of the skimmer to the water level should be six inches!

The HQI hood is available. I’ve been told that it not only fits a JBJ 28, but also fits on the 24. If you pick this up at the meeting on Saturday at Elos, $40. What a deal!

Justin, you are more than welcome to stop by and see the 9002 up close and personal. I too have it in the DT. I could have put it in the back center chamber, but I would have had to sacrifice the media baskets and cut the magnet holder off the skimmer for it to fit. So I’ve mounted it on...

He could always go Glass-Holes! :grin:

Not too far from Trenton are two LFS’s in PA: The Hidden Reef, Inc 4501 New Falls Rd Levittown, PA 19056 And a couple miles away: The Fish Factory 3021 Veterans Hwy, Route 413 Bristol, PA 19007

I’m new at this as well and just ramped up to my full “dose.” A 25 percent loss of pellets in four weeks seems excessive. What were you initial nitrate/phosphate numbers when you started? And where are they now? Loosing a quarter of the pellets within four weeks makes this a very...

Peter, it’s received good reviews on Amazon.

I can only assume the LEDs that claim to emit ultraviolet light have a large component of wavelengths that are NOT ultraviolet, and this particular portion of energies fall into the visible light spectra. Ultraviolet light (as well as infrared on the other end of the spectra) is not visible...

Justin, you’ve been to my house and have seen the JBJ28 I have that only has two small anemones and a big mother-A Mexican Turbo snail. The only feeding I do is every couple months I might give the anemones a small piece of scallop or fish. I’m running a Tunze 9002 skimmer (real dry) and...

This problem sounds similar to the one I had when I ran IceCap. It boiled down to being that multiwired plug on the wiring harness. One or two of the prongs wasn’t making consistent contact…..so sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn’t. I resolved the problem by using this red...

HERE is the link is you want the details. I've used this a couple times and it works.

Most (if not all) salts have trace ammonia in them to assist in dissolution. If you have a cycled tank with established denitrifying bacteria, that trace amount of ammonia will be quickly consumed. My guess is that you don’t have a completed cycled tank or you have a bad test kit.

The brand they carry is Watts and they are either called John Guest or Quick Connect fittings.

My local HD has a very large selection of tubing fittings. I'm sure they would have this common 1/4 inch elbow. I recently picked up 3/8 elbows, NPT on one end with the quick connect on the other.

You guys are killing me will all your comments. For those of use who don’t use a grounding probe, Method 1 is how we usually find out about stray voltage. For all those that wish to use a grounding probe, you have protected yourself from a little tingle, but will not know you have a voltage...

Since standard household line voltage is 120 volts, you will want the "200" scale.

Identify the culprit by unplugging one by one. Once found, take it out and carefully place it on your driveway. With a large sledge hammer, beat the living crap out of it. Oh, and now you need to replace that busted up piece of equipment.

There are two methods: 1. Standing in bare feet and preferably a little damp, stick you hand in the tank. If you feel a tingle, you’ve got stray voltage. 2. Using a VOM (Voltage/ohm/meter…..also called a multimeter), set it to read AC VOLTS. Take one of the probes (and it doesn’t...

You're confusing pH and Alkalinity. :)
