Oh, and thanks for the input from you all. I really appreciate it.
Right, that does make sense. But, why does lowering my water level make the Venturi pull air consistently? My other question is why is there a good...
I've been thinking the same thing. I thought that there weren't enough DOCs to get any foam going, but last night I dropped the skimmer level to a...
I added a reactor running carbon and GFO about three weeks ago. Ever since my skimmer has been pulsing or intermittently pulling air. It's a Bubble...
This could be a factor. My reactor had been sitting in my garage for about a year before I put back into operation. I had been using it on an old...
Thanks for the info. I'm going to keep running the gfo/carbon skimmer setup like you said. It's great to have a backup if I let the carbon go for too...
I checked my salinity with my new fan dangled refractometer from BRS and it's showing my specific gravity to be 1.024, a little low. This may be one...

I just introduced my white cap goby and pistol shrimp! I'm super excited, but there is one issue...they separated when I introduced them. I...
Apparently, I'm incapable of correctly adding pictures on my ipad...
Whoops
Same trap just worked for me tonight! It wasn't working before, but after I add a good amount of her favorite food it worked like a charm. I'm very...

Ya, I definitely do not use tap water. No telling what could come out of a water spigot in Oklahoma City. My tank is starting to look good. All of my...
I actually have some water on hand for a small water change so I think I'll do that now. Any other suggestions 3reefers?
3reef, I've a 54 gallon drilled with 30lbs of live rock (once "dead"), a 20g sump with a bubble magnus nac 3 skimmer which pulls some major nasty....
