It is the original pump which has been out of service for a decade but works like new.

1. Definitely not gate vale as internal parts move up/down with the turn of gate valve 2. Will try and clean out venturi-it just seems like bubbles aren't issue but flow into the canister is overpowering. Thanks.

I have a Reef Octopus 300SSS but the older model[pics below]. It says the optimal water level is between 8-10[I had it at 9 as seen by the gunk in the picture]. The gate was fully open and it has 2 air intakes. I pulled it offline last night due to frustration. No matter what I change it...

I tried to partially block the air intakes to try and reduce the number of bubbles coming in during the "break-in" period, but normally they are wide open.

I have exactly nine inches in my sump and the gate valve[approxiamtely 8 inches from bottom] sits right below the waterline as of now. The bubble plate inside the skimmer[say like 6-7 inches inside the skimmer] is like an inch or two below the waterline when the skimmer is off. So I can raise...

The tank has been running for 8 weeks now. Light bioload. If I close the gate valve it traps more water inside and just goes up higher[I thought to start it should be fully open to start]. If I lift the skimmer up an inch or two, the bubble plate will be above the waterline but will try it. I...

So I have had my octopus skimmer running for almost a month now to break it in. The gate valve is fully open, the air intakes are mostly blocked and the water level is just above the bubble plate. It's still bubbling over like crazy. Any ideas?

Do you know if it is a percula or ocellaris? I may be interested.

So, I had two onyx perculas living in my tank for the past 3 weeks[have not seemed to pair yet, but one is the larger female with a smaller male]. A few days ago there was no sign of the larger female. Checked all the rocks, couldn't find a body, and didn't see it for several days. I went...

DZ - where did you find the worms at? Looking to start a culture myself.

Maximus - what's the key to getting the dragon's breath to grow like crazy? I have mine under high flow and light and it seems ok but not growing crazy. Thoughts?

I have the maxspect 350 gyre on my tank and love it. Low profile and moves a ton of water. Hopefully, it's durable as the performance so far has been great.

Sunny, Are you selling your livestock- I am interested in the pyramid butterflies if you are. Thanks.

Well, the plumbing is done, the lights are hung and the tank is officially cycled. I guess I am a reefer now. Special thanks to @mnat and @NikkiT for the macroalgae hook-up. Couldn't figure out how to get the blue out of the pic[it is not nearly that blue in real life].

Just got some chaeto from Abda410 for anyone who is interested.

Looking good Del. Coral colors really pop.

Hello everyone, I am looking for a small handful of Chaeto to start my fuge. Anyone near Pt. Pleasant that might be around this weekend that I could pick up some? Thanks in advance.

I used the stiffer RO line and it worked-Thanks!!!

OK, I will try and use a different tube that seems to be stiffer[It just looks like the pressure is pushing the fitting out further than normal]. All of the cartridges are brand new. It goes sediment prefilter, 2 separate micron filters[5 then 1], RO membrane, and then 3 different resin...

What's up everybody. I have some updates and my first troubleshoot that I need your help with. I aquascaped my rock and went for the three separate islands look. I am pretty happy with it as it has some big caves for big fish and smaller ones for the little guys. I attached the pics below...
