well my plans are a 10 gal tank with some corals :lol: I have a tank (somewhere in my basement) I plan on DIY almost everything on it so if I can figure out a decent DIY skimmer I'll add it more to come once I get home and layout my supplies

what is a good sized skimmer for a 150G reef tank and what type works the best?

The question (tough or moronic - for you to decide ;) ): Given the 5-6g tank with non-photosynthetic corals (babies Scleronephthya, chilis, gorgonians: Diodogorgia, Siphonogorgia, Swiftia kofoidi, Anthogorgia, Guaiagorgia, and babies Tubastrea). Available feeding (and the Golden Pearls people...

I'm running the small pumps (within 150-400 gph, Mini-jet 606 and Koralia1), on and off for a different reasons, not on timer, and for turning off I have to unplug it, to turn on again - plug in. Mini-Jet - when feeding with filtering off, Koralia - when starts to rattle at night, and ASM Mini...

Hey, what would be the difference between drilling holes into my tank, and buying a hang on overflow? Im thinking if i take it to get drilled it will cost about $25 per hole. Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Well I had boughten the nano cube about 2 months ago, and was worried to set it up. My friend did not want a 60 gallon tank that he had anymore which included his fish so he decided to give them to me. We broke down his tank, and added everything from his tank over to mine including the Rock...

My friend just bought a skimmer from www.aquatraders.com . Its rated for a 160 gallon tank and he only paid 60 bucks for it brand new (odyssea 160)? He said he can get MH lights for 350 there. Has anyone ever bought anything form this place? It sounds to cheap to be good. Thanks Patrick

Just recieved my JEBO 520. And wow was it alot bigger than I imagined. It's huge compared next to my Sealife 150 skimmer! anyone try one of these yet? kinda an experiment (before I get hit with stones for buying a cheapie!), I knew it had to be better than that sealife junk. Came with a huge...

Hey guys! I just currently set up my 20gallon tank about a month ago. It went through its cycle and now the water parameters are perfect. The problem is, my water is slightly cloudy. Not milky or anything like that. I don't dose anything that would cause this. My LFS suggested I run carbon and...

Ok, the situation. I have a new office and am in the process of moving in an fixing it up. There is one wall that is bare and begging for a reef tank :rolleyes: . So I am starting my designing plans early. I'm thinking in the neighborhood of a 29 or 40L. Since this is at my office, I am...

My dad and I went to the LFS to pick up the 30 breeder tank. Well it turns out that they had a special on 75 RR tanks. We got sweat deal on a 75 gallon rr tank with overflow box built in and 2 holes drilled for drain and return. A metal stand is included. I despise the look of metal stands, (no...

I recieved the skimmer yesterday. ASM mini G with gx 1000 needle wheel pump. If i need a better skimmer ill get the uroreef cs 80 promo and give the G to the softie tank. But I thing the G should do a pretty good job. Stole it too on ebay. Im picking up the actual glass tank tommorrow and...

Ok so I have a 65 with a 20L sump, so maybe 75 total gallons. Over the course of the last 1.5 years with this system I have owned the following skimmers (in order of their crappiness): prism hang on berlin in sump aqua-c remora seaclone 150 CPR backpak turbofloter I just want a skimmer...

just setting up my first nano, wondering how everyones going about it. do u run a skimmer or no, and which one if u do.

Well - not exactly new I guess - have been working on it for some time but only just getting close to finishing. The tank is 55 gallons - I've had the 2 175W MHs (10,000K) and a 40W PC for some time. Finally got around to putting in the 110W VHOs the other day. I've only put 1 actinic bulb...

im trying to decide on a new skimmer, and im debating between a few. the asm g-2, a coralife skimmer and the turbofloter 1000. cost is kinda an issue, but since they're all kinda pricy i'll go with whatevers best for my tank, but not lookign for too much overkill. its a 80 gallon with a...

What wattage of MH should be used for a 15 gallon tank with SPS. im setting up another tank soon. For sps corals. 10 gallon sump ASM mini G skimmer Drilled closed loop/ or MJ mod

I have 2 ASM skimmers - ASM G-3 and ASM Mini G. Photos are in the link in signature. ASM G-3 skimmer with Sedra 5000 is in 15g side sump for a 90g heavily fed tank, water depth is just above curved tube, going from the pump, around 8". Height of riser tube varies, until starts to produce some...

I have more than one tank, will add others later. Pardon the mess - fighting with it all the time. While I'm able to keep most of corals and filter-feeders alive and well, I have to change setups (and add the new nano-tanks) to fit their needs, not set the tank and fill it with animals who...

I have a Asm Mini-G protein skimmer for sale for $70. This is an in sump skimmer. Its a great skimmer, blows the coralife super skimmer 65 out of the water. Located in Kennesaw
