Do a control test of your test kit. Test your RO water. Buy a new test kit. Just a few things to try before doing anything drastic (if you haven't...
Gorgeous fish... These fish are kind of like dogs...you almost wish they would stay in their cute "puppy" stage forever! Not that the adults aren't...
Welcome aboard!
Yeah, of course it won't go back into the tank once it's really skimming. That would kind of defeat the entire purpose of even having the thing. It's...
Perhaps so...they sometimes get up to about 1.027-1.028. Right now they're at 1.023. I think something was picking at them. They look great now.
good morning! howdy and aloha
BTW: If anyone gets an AquaC Remora HOB skimmer with the collection cup fitted for a drain hose the correct tubing size is 5/8"...I got 1/2" tubing...
Having the usual break-in issues (at least I hope they're usual). Lots of micro-bubbles and all clear and very watery skimmate so far, no nasty...

Oh! Second question...should I stick a piece of live rock from the DT in there with them?
Hi all! Say hello to my new false perculas! This is my first QT experience and I must say that I'm a little apprehensive about putting fish in an...
I would really like to attempt building my own cube-tank like this...kudos to you! I'll let the others field the substantive questions, since they...
No worries, I hadn't read some of the replies, so thank you for directing me back to that! :D
It seems like it's going to drain about a gallon every ten minutes during the break-in time based on the way it was running when I plugged it in!!!...
Quick question: I just got a AquaC Remora HoB skimmer with the drainage fitting on the collection cup. What size tubing fits on this? Looks to...
