I know, I just really don't want to drill this tank. I had a sump before and besides being able to hide everything I didn't like it. I find the hob...
I am upgrading my reef to a 150g and am looking for a good HOB skimmer, I'm currently running an Octopus BH 100f and I like it, it's just not enough...
I use NLS and my fish do great on it. I have also had less problems with problem algae since I switched to it.:)
So are you thinking that a #3 koralia is not too much flow? I guess I could leave it, nothing seems to be doing badly and honestly my frogspawn has...
I am wondering how much flow I need for my tank. It is a 33g with an octopus BH100-F skimmer (225gph) and I currently have a koralia #3 running but...
Yay!:victory::clapping: Thank you guys so much! I filled the skimmer with water, opened the valve, used a compressor (well my husband did) to get...
Nope it's exactly like the one you first posted except for that white nipple. Mine looks exactly like this picture:...
I will have to try that check valve idea. But I'm still a bit confused. I don't see a white nipple thing on the skimmer to suck air out of. I only...
And what do you use to suck the air out?
By white thing do you mean the white/clear air hose that you connect the silencer to? or the blue hose that's connected to the intake valve?
I'm trying to get my octopus bh100-f to work and I can't figure out how to get it started! Any help would be great, I can't seem to prime the pump!
Thanks everyone, I think I will go with a thin layer of sand!
I'm switching over my tank into a new tank and will be washing out the old sand prior to using it in the new set up. I'm just wondering about going...
Nope, mine don't bury themselves in the sand. Thanks so much your response just made my life a bit easier!:kiss:
We will be moving in a few months and I'm going to be temporarily putting the inhabitants of my tank into a smaller holding tank until we make the...
I'm actually switching from a 53 gal with a sump to a 55 without. I started off with a 29g sumpless and I much prefered it to my current tank. I...
I had the same thing, my tank looked exactly like that. The thing that worked for me was a lot of water changes that included sucking it off the...
I ordered one of these and it came today. I'm very excited about this skimmer but I will probably need some help when it comes time to set it up,...
Thanks guys, patience is not my strongest suit!:cheesy:
Ok, so I brushed it off and moved it to a higher flow area. It is still closed. As long as it is purple it is still ok right? I'm a bit worried,...
