$125+shipping?

I recently upgraded skimmers, so I need to get this one gone. Skimmer works great, works as both a HOB skimmer and in sump. Produces good, dark skimmate. Here's a picture of it in action. Here it is all nice and...

I bought this when I was planning on drilling my 75gal. Well, change of plan, I'm buying a predrilled 125. (This hobby is a sickness) Anyway, I'm looking to get some of my money back for this thing. They are supposed to be really nice, and this one has never been used. These normally cost $95...

I've been wanting to upgrade to a new skimmer, but need to make sure i have a buyer first since my budget is tight. This is a versatile skimmer, and works well in sump or as a HOB skimmer. it's rated for about 250 gal I believe, but realistically, I probably wouldn't use it for anything over...

you have to be a member there for 3 months to use their classified section though. Lame

I've been trying to treat with garlic guard by seachem, also supplementing diet with selcon. The whole time the ich continued to worsen. Today I bit the bullet and tore apart my display tank and removed all the fish to quarantine. I'll be treating with copper and running the tank fallow for 6...

I'm not familiar with that skimmer brand. take the pump and run it in a bucket full of water without the skimmer. Is it pushing water when turned on? Also, the skimmer pump will probably have an airline connected to it somewhere to mix air into the water. Is that there? as a side note, I sent...

what's the skimmer doing? It may just need to cycle

Really? High prices due to scarcity are no fun. I know a guy who was selling a similar one in town for $10. Though, I imagine a lot of the expensive aussie corals are a lot cheaper down there

forgive my ignorance. What makes it different than a regular ol' orange ric? Looks the same to me

yep. Still have it. Send me a pm with an offer to consider

that's quite a fuge. I'm jealous..my DT is only 75gal. lol

there will be no difference in salinity between the two tanks. Basically connecting them both to one sump would make it into 1 big system. The water would freely travel through the system and equalize in salinity and temperature and such. The ATO will help keep salinity constant throughout the...

with a sump, the display tanks are always at a constant level. the only thing that gets low on water is the sump. This is where the ATO goes, and what gets topped off.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. I'd just set up an appropriately large sump to accommodate both tanks. I'd personally set up 1 large 150gal though. Many large tangs require a 100gal or more, and would be happier in the large tank. Also, you'd have 1 less return pump to buy, less...

well get out there and get a job, I want to buy my new toy. :-P

I'm considering upgrading to a powermodule or a sunpower unit from ATI, but first I need to sell off my TEK unit. It's a 6X54watt unit with individually contoured reflectors. I'll include the bulbs I've been using, they have about 6 months life left in them. I modded in a blue LED moonlight...

that, my friend, is cyanobacteria. evil evil stuff. I had it in my tank, and nothing would eat it. Nothing I tried got rid of it. Eventually I had to use a chemical treatment as a last resort to kill it. I know, everyone will say it's a band-aid solution, but it worked for me. Hasn't come back...

ATI, UVL, and Giesemann have the best reputations as far as t5's go. Drfostersmith.com sells UVL's for cheap. I have a 6-bulb configuration, and I use this combination of UVL bulbs. front: super actinic Aquasun actinic White actinic white aquasun super actinic Back This combination gives my...

yeah, it's a sponge, I have the same stuff on some of my rock, nothing to worry about

Hey ben, you got that backwards. T5's have far superior reflectors because their shape allows them to better work with a parabolic reflector. There's also less of a problem with restrike. T5's are far superior. I run my reef setup with SPS corals on a 6 lamp Tek T5 unit. T5's don't penetrate...

I don't really care for the color combination. I feel like orange and blue don't work well together, maybe go with a monochromatic color scheme and use a darker blue instead? I also feel like '.com' is unnecessary. The hermit is too cutesy for my tastes, but others might like it. Just the...
