and thats what zillions of microbubbles look like floating around a tank. you gotta leave it off for more than 15 mins to let them dissipate before...
very bummed to see that site go down. couldn't believe the amount of information they had in a single thread about ASM skimmers (over 2000 posts!),...
sounds like micro bubbles, try turning your skimmer off for a few hours and see if its still there. ~Will.
first thing, stop buying new fish when you think you have a sick dying fish already in your tank (ESPECIALLY a tang) unless you enjoy ich outbreaks....
its a standard (read: scratched to hell) acrylic 125 with a 20 sump. Still not sure if I like it, but I'm willing to live with it over re-doing all...
I made the decision to go from a FOWLR to a reef a little while ago, but just recently began re-doing almost all of my rockwork. I wanted to have...

I have a friend with a 55 and a mandarin with no fuge. he seeded his rock, waited a few months and has had a happy mandarin for over a year. he has...
you could either drill a hole in the bottom of the collection cup and fit it with a 90* hose barb fitting that would lead to a reservoir like a 1...
in sump is usually the safer bet in case it leaks any or if the cup over flows. external is nice as it frees up room in your sump for a fuge, or...
