That makes the choice pretty easy, because the Precision Marine is not an in-sump skimmer. Or let me put it this way, the water level must be below the exit port of the skimmer, which from the picture, looks like about 1 ½ inches.

I still can’t get over that. Just wild. Is that a black Sharpie Marker I see next to the tank? :o :grin:

My Hippo has gone to the big tank in the sky. When I picked this "rescue" fish up about three years ago, it was undernourished, with a thinned dorsal fin and a reticulated look in its skin. It ate and fattened up and acted normal the three years I had it, but never re-grew it’s dorsal, or lost...

I like them! It’s just a touch of difference that was the result of natural genetic mutation. Very unique fish with class! However, in comparison, I can’t stand the man-made mutations, like the Wyoming…..I refer to these genetic abominations as f-ugly (pronounced fug-ly) fish. Again...

But one nice big grain of sand and you’ll know the path your little robot took that day, and every day thereafter (or every time it cleans), until you realize it has sand under the pad. :(

This is a Glass-Holes overflow…..a stand pipe will not fit or work in a Glass-holes. If you play with the tube coming out of the elbow, that could help. I think you are actually hearing the air/water cascade down the pipe. If you can’t figure it out, I’ll sell you one of my becketted...

Neat! But for $250, I'll pass.

Meg, welcome! Might I suggest you start a "Tale of the Tank" to give us all the info and pictures of your tanks. Again, welcome and ask away if you have questions.

No valve! You say 1 1/2 pipe into the sump….is that rigid pvc or flex (flex would be the best because of subtle bends)? Are there 90 elbows – these add the likelihood of more noise….ideally 45’s work better.

With what little I know, it actually crossed my mind. :D

No need to reply.....I think I've got it "fixed." But don't ask me how??

My little Acer Netbook fell off the couch and the battery popped out. I put the battery back in and turn it on and this is what I found: The screen view had shrunk down about an 1 ¾ inches on the right and about ¾ inches on the bottom. To attempt to fix this (I have very limited...

Additional comments on your line coming down to your sump from your overflow: 1. Put in a union somewhere on the back so that if and when you want to move the tank, or clean out a pipe, you can do it without having to cut it. 2. That last piece of pipe going into your sump; do NOT glue...

Why is there a valve on the back of the tank? I wouldn’t put it there for two reasons….difficult to get to and the torque created when attempting to open or close the valve that close to the glass could crack the glass. Bring the valve down into the sump and put it there. This way you can...

And to think that I was going to FedEx you a cheesehead to wear for the SuperBowl! The Packers are God’s choice. Here is the ArchBishop of New York, Timothy Dolan, preaching to the loyal and faithful followers. Notice the halo around his head:

Daniel, I think you have the same pump I have….a GenX PCX 40 (MAK 4) rated at 1190 gph. If that is the case, I can’t understand why you have it metered down with the ball value closed about a quarter of the way. I would think this pump would be running wide open?? Your overflow should be able...

There are thousands of nudibranchs. HERE’s a link that has a mere 36 thousand-plus pictures of nudi’s. Happy hunting! You might be able to go the “identification” section and submit your picture.

I have a very large chalice that, after covering the rock its on, is actually “plating” out away from the rock. It is like a typical plate coral, except there are no eyes in this plating part. In the process of cleaning out clove polyps, I snapped off a piece of this plate. Now it has live...
