Well gave BRS a call and they dont do part sales. Any one know of another place that i could turn to?

sry for dbl post. It seems the OTP-2000 was the original pump for the skimmer. If i order a replacement pump will it come with the necessary air intake port for the skimmer?

So im getting back into the game and i need to find a replacement to the reef Octopus nw-150. I took it aart after seeing no circulation and my wheel is broke in a few places, the little nub is missing to hold the prop on, and the air intake nozzel(best i could describe) is broken. Im sure its...

well i work at a local lowes Ive just never stopped to look at all the pvc fittings we have. I'm usually outside with all the plants. no time to go clear across the store to see what we got

im interested in how you disconnect your supply line/mesh from your piping. without turning your pipe. curious as to what that connection is called you used.thinking about making one similar to yours.

+1 with above. if you place the pump after all three filters then your pump is gunna run dry. wont have enough flow from your filters to keep up to its output.

agreed. ^ i got the dual switch cccapt suggested in anoter thread and is a solid build. double redundancy never hurts or you can just use the singe switch that's alittle cheaper. I have mine connected to an old salt bucket with ~4 gallons of water and does a wonderful job. Pump dosnt have to...

im in need of something that shifts but doesn't burrow. then i just need to find a away so it dont get picked on by the mean 3

do all watchmen gobys perch? im trying to find something to go through my sand that wont make tunnels as i didn't set my rock on the bottom of the tank.

i had this issue when I didnt have enough surface agitation. Solved by having either a PH pointed towards the surface or an overflow box. btw you'll want more LR. recomended is 1-1.5lbs per gallon.

yep. Its part of its decomposing stages.. you prolly coulda been fine with 1 shrimp in the tank instead of 3. Id leave it in their for another week and take them out then, just to make sure there's enough decomposition of the shrimp. If you want to take it out now your more than able to...

+1 on them being that they are hard to kill. I lost my main colony due to some uncured caulk cause my tank to crash along with all my corals. Suddenly about a week ago I noticed a small nub of a kenya tree growing. The crash happened back in may. Don't give up hope yet. When i had my Kenya...

2nd and 3rd look like some sort of anthia(sp?) or xenia

There's some at Lowe's ie. 560gph (or so) with a max head height of 14.1ft. for 64dollars and change. ( i work there in the garden center and spend alot of time reading those things for the aquaria sake) i believe there is another around the 720gph for around 80-90 but im not sure.

This stuff is a killer if not cured long enough. i rushed a new sump design and put it in b4 a week long trip. came back to death. all my corals were dead and 2-3 fish died. The Ethanol and ammonia released wiped my tank. Keep doing some more pwcs incase you still have some of that in your...
