First of all, I thought I was PMing you before, but posted instead? I haven't been able to post from my pc at work in months, only PMs, LOL. I...
Don't know if you guys realized it, but I did away with the whole "stock" bubble diffuser basket a month after I had that skimmer. Like I said above,...
I'd put the skimmer right by the water inlet from the tank. It will be more effective there. Branch off the inlet into 3 pipes with adj valves - one...
A hydrometer is a mechanical swingarm. They are supposed to be calibrated, but sometimes they aren't accurate w/ air bubbles getting on the surface...
^ Yup, like I asked in your other thread last night what were the test kits you had? In testing for possible causes for algea, check nitrates,...
LOL ;D. It's been working great again for the last 20+ hours, so I gotta guess it was something that caused a sudden change. Even with coralline...
Ours has lasted about 9 months so far, and it's still doing great under PC lights. A untouched pic: [IMG] And a fun pic: [IMG]
I'm guessing the lights were on too long during the day, or maybe old bulbs, and probably a phosphate/nitrate/silicate problem with your water or...
^what's more is that you always end up having a need for it shortly after you've thrown it away.
Hippo tangs getting ick is the norm. As long as he's eating seaweed and vitamin-rich foods, maybe with garlic, his immune system will fight it off....

I haven't used that bubble diffuser basket that came with the skimmer since the first week it was on there. It caused nothing but problems. I...
Ok, Cleaned everything. The inlet strainer was a little more clogged up with coralline than I thought, don't think enough to be causing this...
Never happens. Only once I saw it do this and noticed that the little piggies (tangs) ripped the entire piece of seaweed off the clip. It got sucked...
Nope, that's not it. The skimmer angle is secure, and you know that 1/2" tubing is tight as a mofo on the pump outlet and skimmer body, so the height...
I prop it open on the front corners to let air flow through. I see what you're getting at with the air/oxygen exchange, but that's never been a...
So tonight I'm watching House, everything is cool with the tank. Then I'm watching Fringe and right at 10 when it's over, I noticed (heard) the...
I have the Coralife Super Skimmer 125 setup as HOB on my 55 gal. It's be working flawlessly for the past 9 months, but recently am having issues with...
