By a sleeve in the chamber do you mean the bottom of the skimmer or the power filter sump? The film cannister works great at keeping bubbles out...
An update (in case anyone is actually reading this): The modified Skilter 250 is broken-in and working beautifully! I have mastered the water/air...
Bruce has it exactly right. Some use them as indicators of changes in chemistry in the water. If they 'curl up' their 'fingers' of 'writhe their...
They don't like you either. Made them suffer nasty conditions and after you used them you then "got rid of them" (flushed?). And then you dare...
Sorry to be negative but be careful with your water parameters. Once you see a xenia go down, it's almost impossible to reverse the process. They...
Earlier this week I stocked my 30 gallon with two Archocentrus sajica T-Bar cichlids. The fish are about 2" (male) and 1 1/2" (female), so they are...

Probably not adjusted right. I have little experience with "good" skimmers (see my adventures with the modified Skilter), but in my case overflows...
Welcome! It is a great site...don't miss the calculators, etc. Been here a short time myself, but the information gathered has been great and...

A late welcome! hehe... I will go look at your photos now.
I have a cover on mine. Since it's a 10, evaporation is a significant enough percentage of my water to increase salinity. Yes, you have to...
Excellent! I will check the article out! Thanks.
I feel like the answer must be staring me in the face, but I don't see it! 3Reef... The third reef? e Reef with the 'e' backwards? Can't even think...
I use the Seachem Iodide and Iodine test. I like the Seachem brand because instead of 5 or 10 ML for each test, they set them up in a little dish...
My yellowtailed damsel Li'l B (for Little B*st*rd) and my emerald mithrax crab Epicurius having one of their frequent encounters in my 10 gal reef.
