Guys, my skimmer is possessed, and I need a little help please. The skimmer has been up and running for a few weeks now, and up until the last week or so, has been running fine. The skimmer will be operating fine, minimal micro-bubbles in the tank, and all of a sudden will stop skimming and...

Man, I would be all over a Mandarin if I had that many pods.

Coldfish, thanks very much for the reply. I feel a lot better now, I was kind of worried about my setup. RFC, looking at the way you have your skimmer components arranged....do you think the skimmer still works as well with the intake of the pump directly under the diffuser? Just kind of...

I have a quick question for you guys...I just got a Coralife SS myself, but I haven't set it up yet. I got it out of the box yesterday to lay all the pieces out and test fit it on the tank, and the hose that goes into the bubble diffuser doesn't look right. The black mesh foam that goes in the...

Wow, I'm glad you mentioned this, as I'm getting ready to put an order in with them. Maybe I'll call instead and mention getting several smaller pieces instead of one big one. Thanks for the heads up.

Man, I hope mine does ok. Just got it in the mail a couple days ago. Should I start running it while I am cycling my tank, or wait until after the cycle?

How big of an issue is evaporation if you don't use a canopy?

Those are some sweet pics. Very nice tank!

Yes, I'm planning on using it as a HOB, since I don't have a sump. It's going to be a FOWLR tank with about 70 pounds of live rock. Just want to make sure I'm getting enough filtration, because I'm considering a fuzzy dwarf lionfish for the tank and I know their bioload is significant.

OK, thanks for the advice.

I have a quick question about the Coralife Super Skimmer. Basically I just wanted to be sure that they are good for the tank size they are rated at...I have a 60g tank, and was looking at the one rated for 65g. I've read where some skimmers really don't perform at the level they are advertised...

Thanks, I'll be sure to steer clear of Sea clone

My tank is 60 gallons. I'd like to stay under about $100 if possible. BTW, I'm looking at a FOWLR setup, possible keeping a dwarf lionfish. I want to be sure I get a skimmer that can effectively handle that bio-load. Thanks again.

I've been looking at bidding on a protein skimmer on Ebay, but there are a ton of them on there in my price range, and I really don't know one from another as far as quality: Odyssea, Clean-Up, Sea Clone, Marineland, Berlin Airlift, Oceanic....the list goes on and on. Any of these particularly...

What are you asking for it? Any lunar bulbs? I'm definitely interested.
