Good luck, and keep us updated on the progress with some pics!
7 frags exactly, added to my 55 gallon tank with 30 gallon long sump/fuge combo. They were small frags, mainly acroporas, a millipora, a stylophora...
The vinegar bath worked like a charm! I dropped only the pump in there and let it run without the air line for about 7 hours straight. I didn't read...
Thanks for the help again! I didn't get the acid since my wife reminded me of a 1 gallon vinegar bottle we had in the pantry. I've been soaking the...
Just thought I would update on this situation: I've locally glue the opening tube of these suckers with gel super glue and also reduced the feeding...
It seems that we claimed victory before we had it in our hands :( I woke up this morning to the same problem. I am currently running the pump by...
For the record and in case other people have this problem I'm replying the question in the quoted text in bold letters: Thanks for all the help!!
Well... Now it's working ok. I did what dahenley suggested and unplugged the air intake out from the venturi and stuck it in the intake of the pump....
I will try the acid cleaning tomorrow. I could not notice anything major to be wrong when I cleaned it, except 2 missing pins on the wheel that I...
I hope so. Usually anything new I added would cause a diatom bloom, but the skimmer never quit working for me. I dialed my return all the way down...
It's been doing it for about 1 week. About the same time I upgraded my overflow box also for an eshopps. The pump is spotless inside. Never cleaned...
+1 on Steve's advice. The bigger the better. I have a 55 and I wish I had a 300 gallon tank. There are very pretty fish that I can't have because of...

Nope, the body wasn't cleaned inside. I only scraped off the spiro's off of the outside of the cylinder. Even when it was new and not broken into,...
Instead of disconnecting the heater, set its temperature to 76, for example. Corals will do well in a temperature range from 74 to 80. In...
So, I had this skimmer for a good while and worked perfectly, producing a lot of skimmate. For a few days now, it's not working properly. The pump...
Amazing!!! I have no money whatsoever and I'm still, absolutely considering getting one of these bad boys! Credit cards are a curse sometimes :D I...
Also, I would like to ask about the lifetime of these LED's. Are they replaceable after that? I have a 55 gallon tank. Being that I would need two...
My brother in law had one and wanted to get rid of him too. His was 1 foot long and he ended up hooking it with shrimp on a hook and a line. He said...
Thanks for the advice, Dingo. I'm willing to slow down the return pump again. I'll try to dial it back to the minimum flow I need so that film...
