wish my kole at like that i have to leave the nori out most of the morning for him to eat 1/4 of what i put out(its not much to begin with).

Haha... Work has decided to load me up with projects all of a sudden, so I haven't had as much free time

I'm actually getting ready to put the tank to bed, then myself... I have the privelage of heading in to work tomorrow at 4am to oversee a trial in one of the mills.

What type of algae are you feeding him... My PBT only would eat the red algae in the beginning, and wouldn't touch the green stuff. Now of course, the Colonel has rubbed off on him and he stuffs his face with whatever I drop in the tank.

unless you want to take a course from my website---my tangs are growing far too fast and I going to need that 280gal tank sooner then I thought

Shameless plug... *tisk*tisk*

j/k

Seriously though... what do you teach?

I was helping abulgin save a poor clown fish from massive ich

That and I didn't have a very eventful day... I guess I should be thankful for that

I have a shipment from The Filter Guys showing up tomorrow though

I'm going to try out A.J.'s method to disinfect it before I put the new filters in though.

I should call LiveAquaria and let them know. Maybe they'll thank me and send me one for free for pointing it out to them.

and the cup is half that size

I couldn't be happier with this purchase. There are soooooooo many skimmers out there, and everyone has their own opinions about which is best. I was originally looking at the ATI Bubblemasters, when this unit popped onto my radar, and for about half the cost. Apparently they share the same pump, and have a very similar design. So much so that ATI has supposably cut off shipments of replacement pump parts to anyone but bubblemaster owners.

Anyway, as I posted on the refugium thread... as long as MSX makes skimmers large enough to handle my future tank upgrades, I will continue to purchase from them.

I would guess 6-8"

Will that make access to your tank difficult though, or do you have a way to raise them when you need to?

Then you should be fine, and I wouldn't forsee any problems.
