I read the article, I am just comparing this skimmate to other users' photos of the exact same skimmer's skimmate.
I know it isn't as dry as most people like, but in 2 days it has sucked out more skimmate than my older skimmer did in 2 weeks. The apartment smells...
Skimmer is doing a really good job now. Photos later tonight
I really want a dwarf angel as well. The flameback is very pretty. I am worried that they will destroy my LPS corals.
As of now I have fixed the low bubble/water level and have a few millimeters of tea colored skimmate. By my fancy guestimation, I believe that is...
thanks for the info. when I get back home I will do that.
I don't plan on doing it anytime soon. I don't want to mess with it until after it breaks in completely.

Thank you for those tips. You can rotate the top of the air silencer to control the amount of air going into the skimmer. I believe I have it all...
I like this idea and the foam to cover your tubing. I personally like being able to see into my tubes so that I can see what is going on.
I have already gotten my hopes up for a video before. If you don't come through with a video I will be throwing your dog in with that nem...
Also, may I suggest IC3 if nothing gets resolved? Mentioning getting them involved fixes things promptly.
What can I say, I was excited.
Skimmer arrived when I was at work. While I was making steak for dinner I decided to set the SWC Extreme 160 Cone up. I was done setting the...
I have started a review of my 160. http://www.3reef.com/forums/protein-skimmers/swc-160-cone-review-set-up-85339.html
I received my SWC Xtreme 160 Cone skimmer this evening while I was at work. I almost left early, but figured as I was the only employee and the...
