    Aquamaxx HOB skimmer

    Ya. Unplug it and forget about it for a few weeks. You are not going to get anything and it is not worth trying to set up.

    reef octo. nwb150 or SWC x-treme 160?

    reef octo. nwb150 or SWC x-treme 160?

    They have two new pumps.. the 600 and 1000 that has new electronics and do not stop backwards. That pretty much makes the PSK2500 irrelevant. If I...
