nice! haha u got the jelly fish!

[techdiver]

I just noticed the jellyfish as well. It looks like your moon lights really light it up in there.

[05grandprix]

Yes they do. Marcus I really like that sump if possible look into it and te skimmer when you upgrade. The jelly fish was another set I had at home

They do look very cool how they move in the water. Kids love them.

Tank is coming along nicely Brent. I am also a big fan of the Eshopps Line of skimmers. Great performance for a budgeted reefer.

Dave when should I remove that sock this is first sump I've had with a sock instead of filter pads. The sock is almost black already tank is 98% cleared up looking better

Probably would be a good idea to take it out and at least rinse it for now to get all those bigger particles out. Typically I change mine out once a week and have them washed.

Hey David that skimmer I'm having issues gettin it set properly every time I adjusted it I'd get more bubbles the water level I sump is correct.

kinda hard to advise on that statement. I have always been able to pretty much set and forget with that model.
Are you over adjusting maybe? Prob best to pop by tomorrow

[05grandprix]

Ok I will try to

[SNAKEMANVET]

Hey Brent,most skimmers I have used,it doesn't take much to make it go one way or the other.I would make very small adjustments to find the sweet spot.Like Dave said then it pretty much set and forget.

[05grandprix]

I believe I got it set this morning after I got off of work

[Below Sea Level]

oddly enough I had issues with the skimmer on the biocube not working also. I did manage to get it fixed today though. Turns out there was some fine black sand down in the impeller housing and it was seizing everything up.
Does the halide have a fan on it though?

[05grandprix]

There is a fan that is supposed to be on it remember I told you when I got it one of the blades were missing so it was making a real loud racket so I took it out was going to order another fan but never did

[SNAKEMANVET]

Hey Dave,I noticed the black sand in it.how did you get that impeller out,it was stuck like crazy.I was afraid it was going to break.

[05grandprix]

I've had to take that skimmer apart twice for the same thing :-(
Are you setting the tank up at the shop or you sell
It already

[05grandprix]

I'm sorry the sand got into it. It was probably when I was rinsing it out tryin to get all the sand out. The first time was when I stirred a lot of the sand up second time I don't know how it got sand in it

I was really worried it would break as well but It had to come out one way or another so I just clamped onto it with needle nose pliers and it came out without any breakage. That sand acted more like a cement. Once I got it out and cleaned that area is was smooth running and silent.

Bah it happens, all good.

I totally cannot remember you telling me about that light/fan. I am sure you did and I was probably zoned out. I was so scattered last week with Wes being out sick at the computer store. Glad all is back to normal in that department.

[05grandprix]

That's ok I completely understand

[Sylveir]

Tanks coming along nice man
