Mike, the setup in the last pic didn't work. From what was last posted bu yboy should I move the pump to the other PVC?

Like this? Didn't see the part about a small hose. Unfortunately, I don't have any that diameter.

Mike, It has a gate valve already. I will try what you suggested but the way the connectors are I don't see how they would fit on that side.

Mike, Roy gave me this skimmer and pump, we weren't sure if it worked. I put it together and tried to test it. Are syaing that the pump connect to the left PVC, which is where the water is coming out on the second pic?

Ok, cleaned out the Berlin but still doesn't work as well as it use to. Anyway, I added the other skim to the sump, tight fit, and I ran in to 2 other problems. 1) The skimmer section of the sump drains quicker than the return. Tried using a smaller pump but skimmer didn't work as well. What...

I am just about to pull the Berlin out and clean out the venturi. I also noticed with the new there is an opening for air but no hose attached. If I cover it with my finger no bubble form. I wonder how that would work if its covered by water. maybe I should add a airline to it if I use it.

My berlin skimmer stoppped skimming but water is pumping through. I acquired another skimmer but not sure where the pump goes. I put it in a 10g tank with fresh water to test it. I have 2 pics one unplugged and one plugged in to see the water flow. Is this the correct setup? the company website...

I never rinse either. Usuaully dissolve the food in a cup and poor a little at time in. A pain but at least I can control what does or doesn't get lost. If I am in a hurry I just drop a cube in.

That truly sucks. Give you credit for starting it again. If this ever happens to me I am out of the hobby.

Wendy, Very nice setup. I use to have one with FB toads, newts and mudskippers. If your inetersetd in some green and black poison dart frogs let me know or a small patternless leopard gecko. I need to thin out the zoo. Mark

I obtained a skimmer from REEFLECTIONS. It is an AIS 250 from Aquatic Life Systems. I cannor locate any info on-line about it. I don't want to rip out my current one and put this one in nit knowing anything about it. Anyone ever hear of this skimmer? Tthe web turned up zero data. Thanks Mark

Please post your location.

I prefer UPS over them all. I missed an early morning delivery one time of fish and they left a notice. I called them up and gave all the info. UPS tracked the driver down and the fish were delivered around 5pm. All were alive and well.

I thought Lowes and HD sold silicate free play sand.

I see this all the time. However, I have a big mouth so I tell the buyer the real deal in front of the sales people.

Jim, thanks. Yes it is press board and I am using a plastic shoe box and lid to catch water.

Well after the couple years of being on this site I learned to be more creative. Here is what I made from a broken plastic hamper and some window screen. Instead of paying $30 used and much more new I used these items I had laying around and built a chameleon cage for the two I have. A 10g...

I adjust only because I get annoyed if they aren't on / off the times I expect.

Well I wish I never watched that video. They can live through all at and yet i can't one small piece of SPS to survive a week in my tank. Now am I sad...

I thought the cap on tank size was 75g or 90g. But I could be confusing it with some other sale from last year.
