Bax, thanks for the offer but Bloomfield is a little far to travel for me. I have been gauging it by observation. In the past they would skim nice for a week or two and then stop. Adjusting the air flow only caused it fill with water and spill out; no matter how small an adjustment. The Berlin...

I appreciate that Rich. I have the venturi for both skimmers. Berlin came with a built in one for better lack of term. ALS is a separate piece. No problem if the mag9 stops and starts; just experimenting now.

I never felt my skimmers were perfroming well; one is a Berlin classic and the other is Aqautic Life Systems. Red Sea claims that a 500pgh pump is fine for the Berlin so I hooked up a mag5. The ALS I got from a fellow reefer and came with a mag7. The ALF skimmer performed a little better then...

Be careful what you ask for. I bought 20lbs at a LFS near my work and it turned they didn't cure the rock, even though I asked them. I had a very bad red slime out break and lost fish. I complained and the manager stated the staff was fired for not curing and fibbing to customers. I paied $3 a...

My nitrates are high - 40ppm. I had a small angel die about 2 months back but never found it to take it out. I also have a flower nem that is doing so hot. Not sure if I should yake it our or do water chnages. plan on water changes anyway but wanted to help lower the reading soon. So I figured...

Dave, Without tank info it will be extremely difficult for people to assist. Please read this sticky and post back with the info and hopefully someone can help. I for one can't keep zoas no matter what I do. http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=17837.0 Mark

Wish I could go, but can't. My son's high school entrance exam is that day.

I gree with putting the agressor in a container within the main tank. Doesn't matter what you use as long as its clear. Plus I would add extra holes for more water movement and on the bottome to help remove waste. I used the small reptile containers with no mod or deli containers with may holes...

Have a Grreeat 2010 everyone. ;D

Interested if still available. Is it reef ready? Looking for a FW setup for a friend.

I didn't get any reef stuff or cool gadgets :'(

Sorry to hear that. I have no salt and every store I hit was out. I keep chopping the ice and shoveling. My wife broke her ankle twice, long time back but not because of snow or ice. I know what its like to work and take care of two kids a 2.5 and 1 year old.

My 2004 van has a problem starting. I jumped it 3 days ago and it starts up but reluctantly. I was told cars won't start if its the starter or altenator no matter what. Just wondering if anyones if that is true. I think its still the original battery, which is an easy fix.

Just realized that about the time the lemon peel disappeared I changed out the GFH. I remember that after putting it on the sump some grayish water came out. Maybe I didn't run it clean long enough and the movement caused some extra stuff to come out in the tank?

Does your skimmer pull stuff since you started dosing? I did dosed Vodka for awhile but my skimmer didn't seem up to par. It did pull out more dark smelly stuff at first.

Last Xmas gift!! I haven't even started shopping for the wife!

Okay, well yesterday before going to work noticed that my yellow tang was acting strange. Just staying between 2 rocks head down. I took it out and put in a small container, but this morning it was not alive. It had some dark coloration on the face/head area. Any ideas what happened? I didn't...

Love those guys. Wish the one I had survived.

Mike, Thanks. That is what I thought. I am Picking up a sailfin tang from Roger this week. Just hope it gets along with my yellow tang. Mark

For what its worth I have heard of people using silica free play sand that you can buy at Lowes or Home Depot. Maybe someone can post if they used it, pros / cons.
