I looked it up mine must be an older version my pump is a little different and the bracket doesn't have a spot for the check valve. I have never used a skimmer I'm gonna have to figure it out
Ok where should I put the pump for the skimmer. If I put it on the sands won't it suck the sand up? The pic he sent me of when he had it set up looks like it is about the middle of the tank do I put it on a rock or something?
I'm in the same boat with my tank. Bought a 75 gallon a d it was filthy. Not as bad as yours. Cleaned out the tank and sump. Sanded and primered the stand. While cleaning the tank some of the edges of silicone you could peak if you wanted. Mainly where the overflow is caulked in. It holds water and doesn't leak a bit. Should I redo the silicone or is it good. I still have water in it cause I heard its bad to leave them dry for long periods. Sorry for the rant, not trying to steal the thread. Lol
I have to buy 1 new compact bulb. A hydrometer , salt, thermometer , a test kit. And I think I'm ready to start as long as I don't have to reseal
the tank
The manufacturer of stealth heaters is sending me a new one because of the recall
Good deal. I'm still out a little before I start mine. Need rock, sand, and I have two lights I'm planning on purchasing. May just reseal the tank so I don't have any worries. Haven't decided yet
Yeah I'm wondering ifI should reseal mine. It isn't leaking. And I don't know if the rock and sand I have is good yet gonna take a brush and water to the rocks
