Much better, I can really see how large the tank is; nice shorts, I'm suprised your wife didn't tell you to throw them out. :wink: Well I have to say this is quite the project, and thanks again for allowing us to follow along. I am wondering what is the pvc on the right side of the tank...

May I make a suggestion? Please post some pics with people in front of the tank, so we have a better perspective of how huge this bad boy is( just my two cents :wink:), and please keep us updated, becuase this is awesome!

Hello all! Well, just my two bits, for a tank that size you would spend a fortune on Joes juice, nor is is guaranted to work, it did not work on my tank. I posted under majanoes, and spoke about using lye you might wanna check that out as a last resort. Good reefing

Hello all, I have the worst aptasia outbreak ever, and am now battling it with Lye! Not to high jack your post, :wink: however, my Aptasia war began today against this formidable foe and I thought this might tie in to your post. I am using a recipe found on this board, the lye water mix...

First, you guys ROCK, and thank you for your responses and pictures, they are very much appreciated. This makes happy, I really wanted to keep accros, but I didn't want to risk killing any animals. Thanks again Don

Well, hello all, So my 65 is coming along nicely. The only issue is phosphorus, gettiing a little red slime algae not sure why. Could this be from my RODI cartriges needing to be changed out, we do have extremley hard water here? Anyhow to my main point, less I ramble on for hours, who is...

Since I awoke to find the piece o-crap used 180 I had on the living room floor we moved what we had left to a 65. (That's a whole other story.) And since I hate the fickle nature of powerheads I bought the wave 2k. It will have been running for about a week now no problems thus far. There is...

I really like the Little time and Temp under 20 bucks works well.You know sometime the accuracy is not as crucial as much as the consistencey. Your gage may be slightly off a degee of so to the actual water , however if it prevents wild swings in temp thats key. Also better to be Flamed thus...

up.........I want to see what everyone has to say also.

alfbennet, Having had a couple tanks I love my (6'x2'x2') it is 150 gallons with the foot print of a 180 gallon. It is very cubish imo the best look for a reef.I even prefer the 65 gallon (3'x2'x2' )over the 75 gallon(48 1/2 x 18 1/2 x 21 3/8). The greater width allows for more natural looking...

Thanks I was also leaning towards the pump. thanks a lot

First thanks Len you always seem to come through in a pinch. Cleaned the venturi line with fresh water ro di heated up. Unfortunatley did not change.Could this be my pump perhaps not creating enough push to create the reqiured suction? Would a new pump change this? I hate to waste the money if...

It does seem to be sucking air . However if you have a suggested method of cleaning the air line please let me know. I know in the past hot water did the trick it's just this skimmer is a pain to get out of the stand. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks :) :) :)

This skimmer (aquafoammaster #1 made by Emporer Aquatics) came with the used system I purchased awhile back.The problem is it just does not seem to genrate enough bubbles.Also it does not seem to produce much skim.Is this my pump rio 2500? I swaped it with another 2500 I had laying around and no...
