That would be great, lucky me..... I dont want to get my hopes up yet though. Ill be watching the shrimp in anticipation:)

Id have to wait to get home to check the what "kind" of test kit. It was package test kit for Amonia, PH, Nitrate, and Nitrite. They are tests that consist of adding various drops of "test solution" into a water sample test tube if this is what you mean as "liquid reagent". I purchased 24...

Hmmm, wonder if this is why Well, Im happy to report that the skimmer is finally working right, and as a results the bubbles are not really a problem anymore. I put the Shrimp in yesterday, still 0 Amonia, 0 Nitrate, 0 Nitrite. Then I realized that the water conditioner I used to "help" the...

Its a 3rd floor installation, with cathedral ceilings. (dont worry, I made sure that it was safe for the weight of the tank). I cant even get away with running a hose behind furniture, there is a doorway opening between the tank and the kitchen, and the kitchen is of the open "bar" kind. Ill...

Some water makers also come w/float attachments also that make water for your resovior also based on need only. I'd guess one for the maker and one for the topper would be the ideal. -- That of course is the ideal, but I cant do that. My tank is not close enough to plumbing to have the ro/di...

What kind of skimmer is it? --Its an ASM G3. From what I understand it is supposed to be a very good skimmer. But there is no drain for excess, I guess its just supposed to not overflow:)...

Where does your skimmer overflow to? Mine has a tube coming out the side of the collection cup that feeds into another larger container. Also, is there a smaller venturi type fixture and a little thingy you can twist to control the air? -- It does not have an escape for overflow. When it...

Here are teh additional pictures. Here is my sump, it might be kind of hard to see, the overflow from the Main tank is the pipe on the left, then the skimmer (still overflowing), then at the Oceanic emblem is where the sump is divided and the water flows under teh class to the submerged return...

LOL I need a trained snowflake midget vegetarian eel that only eats what he is supposed to and wont grow bigger than a foot:) After that, a trained stingray that eats flake food. Then after I can put in all the damsels and "pretty" stuff knowing that they will all be friends:)

Its had water now for 7 days, and I will begin some serious water changing as soon as I get my RO/DI. Ill try a shrimp tonight too. Fish, well I have a general idea of a community tank with some corals, maybe anemone, ect.... My rough plan is to start inexpensive and hearty until I become...

Hi All, Thanks again for all the replies, Im really looking forward to doing this the right way and only have some experience with Fresh Water. I will post a picture of the sump after I get home from work tonight. Was the tank already set up when you purchased it? Took it down, moved, and set...

Hi Thanks for the replies, Yes the skimmer is in the sump. I have lowered the water as low as it will go without raising it, I will try dumping the cup a bunch of times and then try raising the pump even higher, my thought however is that I shouldnt have to raise the skimmer because It should...

Hello, I am the new guy, nice to meet you all. I purchased a 90 Gal bowfront Oceanic tank, with 30 Gallon Sump, G3 Skimmer, a Tunz, 2 sea Swirls and few other things. A complete setup, the system was used and found it on Ebay. I also have a metal Halide lighting set up with 3 250w metal Halide...
