Brian, I tried that as well with no luck. I mya try adding a brick in the sum and placing the skimmer on top. As long as the collection cup and air hose are above the water it may work. I definitely need another skimmer. Mark

On the 75 I just upgraded to the only skimmer I have is a Prizm HOB. I wanted to put it on the sump. Problem is the highest water level in the sump is to low for the skimmer to work. It's a pain to lift the canopy every few days to check or empty the cup. Anyone have ideas on how I can get this...

Is it possible to tap out the brace on top with a rubber mallet? Then once the sump is in you can use flat head screws to put back on. I tapped the back vertical brace out from my 75 and screwed it back in with no problems. Mark

One more stupid question. I have a sump so when I do the water chnage do I siphon from the main tank, sump or doesn't matter? Mark

Thanks, for the replies. It's not rotting and at times looks like the polyps may come out but don't. I will do a water chnage tonight and up the salinity. Mark

I just upgraded to a 75 gallon tank. The Yellow Toadstool did great in the other tank. It opened in my new tank for a few days and then closed; hasn't opened in about a week. All other coral, inverts, fish are doing fine. I only have some softies and shrooms. The only thing I noticed is that a...

Ken, I have a soda bottle trap if you want to try it. If you ever get it out LMK; I'm still looking to mate the one I have. I caught every fish in my tank with it, except the one I wanted. Eventually used 2 nets and caught it. Mark

Just thought I'd let everyone know that Saltwaterfish.com is having a special. Certain animals are 50% off. They have pink/blue spot gobies for $12.50 plus more. Mark

Clown gobies are good for a small tank. They are available in yellow, green, black, etc. Odd fish and perch like a hawk fish.

How about some type of dwarf angel. Elibi, Coral beauty...

I tried a few when I had fish only tanks. I could never get one to eat no matter what I fed it. Needless to say they wasted away and I refrain from buying them, even though they are pretty. Mark

That is what my lawnmower blenny looks like. It just grazes on the rocks eating algae. You can try and put some macro in the tank for it to feed on.

John, I must have taken that same class a few years back. I remember that riddle. Mark

Your best bet is to google sailfin blenny and match yours. get the scientific name and search the net. Mark

What kind of blenny? I have a Lawnmower blenny and he just grazes and sometimes eats forzen brine with spirulina. I also have a yellow tail blenny and it eats anything I throw in the tank. Mark

Finally was able to upload some pics of the sump and overflow. Hope they can are claer for all to see and advise. The silver duct tape indicates where I marked the water level. Thanks for help everyone. Mark Inlet with filter sock: Overflow side shot: Inlet plumbing: Return plumbing:

What should I resize it to? I have other software already.

Everyone thanks for the help. I have filled the sump as suggested. I took pics of it and the overflow but they are to big to upload no matter how much I crop them. Anymore cropping would defeat the purpose. I have been using tape to mark all the water levels. If anyone knows how I can fix the...

Mike, That's okay. Hopefully, this will fix the problem. Stop by when you get back and check it out. I am sure you will have some good suggestions on other things too. Have a good trip and don't work to hard. mark
