James, your bringing back memories from the 60’s…..multiple slate bottom tanks with stainless steel corner trim, and some black goop that held it all together. Not sure if it was silicone or not, but I remember it oozing out Also had all those tanks set up with under-gravel filters, and a...

The following are with all due respect (i.e. it’s my opinion, and I’m never wrong! :grin::grin::grin: ): The first part of this in NOT TRUE. I have had both an MRC 2 and MRC 3…..external becketted skimmers. They were, without doubt, the best skimmers I’ve own as far as pulling the gunk...

LOL....now that's funny! Nicely done Jonathan.

Erna, glad to hear you are doing well. Sorry to hear about Doug…but it sounds like he is on the mend. Congrats on the new addition.

I shall be the nay-sayer. I recently started biopellets and am now considering turning my refugium into a frag tank section. The biopellets take over the job of the refugium. If you have a “conventional” sump/refugium…..I’m all for the refugium!

Pete, I shall put on my “now you are four years old” hat……”nanny, nanny, poo, poo to you.” That translates to the negative words you said when I mentioned I was using Bayer (on my corals only)! Just keep it away from your bees. And I use it at 1 ml per 100 mls tank water….for about 15...

Pete, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if Eva thinks that you just built her a nice playhouse….and you are now going to take it away.....you mean daddy. Looking good…..love the DIY stuff.

Hey, are you going to believe ThatGuy or God. According to God, you should have them in four days........And on the fourth day God said, "Let there be Lights." :p

When I use to dose manually, I used these quart bottles with the delivery spout on the top. Made measuring out very easy. They are actually B-Ionic bottles. Pick up in Sayreville.

Regardless of which way you install the bulkhead, the gasket ALWAYS goes on the flange side. So if the nut is on the outside of the tank, the gasket in on the inside, and if the nut is on the inside of the tank, the gasket is on the outside. You NEVER put the gasket on the nut side.

Being of Irish descent, I’m glad to see that size isn’t all it’s cranked up to be. (If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, google “Irish Curse”.) Small is good! :grin::grin::grin::grin::o

And with Kevin’s method with the hook and shrimp, you will still want a pot of boiling water ready…..with a little Old Bay seasoning in there. Nothing better than eating that little devil once you catch him! :o .

I have a 32 gallon Brute and a bunch of 5 gallon salt buckets (with lids).....and you welcome to borrow them. I'm in Sayreville.

No words needed:

I still see the picture.....some rocks, a heater, a blue box and a hot dog. :grin:

That is why I've been trying to contact Gus. Our last communication was for him to hold onto it until the tank was taken down. However, I haven't heard from him since. In the mean time I've already purchased the replacement display screen. And to answer your question, it is a dimmed...

Kyle, I apologize, but I’m retracting my offer. I’ve given it a little thought, and I’m going to stick with the Tunze I have. Skimmer is still for sale!

That might work. Right now the meeting is all southerners...but I'll wait and see if any northern folks are going to venture into the deep south and see if we can make that connection.

That valve restricts the flow of water back into your sump. When fully open, the bubble column should be minimal….all the water is passing through the skimmer too fast. As you close the valve, it holds more water in the skimmer body, raising the bubble column. I’m not getting involved in...

Kyle, I would like the skimmer! However, with you down south, I won’t be down that way until Nov 7 and Nov 11…….pick-up at Philly Airport. Would you mind waiting till then? Or do you come north at any time soon?
