I went with the Deltec. I couldn't pass up that deal (750). Hmmmm....What's next?

I was asking because I have a chance to pick up a Deltec AP851 for $750-800. It's 2 years old but looks like new.

I have been upgrading my system piece by piece and now I'm considering a high end skimmer. If money didn't matter what would everyone choose? Yes, money does matter but, I'm already dead if she ever finds out the real costs and a little more won't hurt, right?

Not really, I have a DSB in my refugium. I just like the look better. And I want to go with a coarser sand to minimize sand storms when I add the Tunze powerheads.

I have about 1.5" of sand in my tank for the last 4 monts. I would like to add another 1.5 to 2". Can I do it all at once or do I have to do it a little at a time?

I have it going back into the skimmer section of the sump. Then through the baffles full of rubble and no bubbles make it through there.

Harry, I have the G4X on my 180 and it is a very good skimmer. Definitely do the gate valve mod. Mine worked fine as it was but, I can never leave well enough alone. I did the recirc mod as well and it made a signifigant difference.

Rich, If I put the Vortecson each end, one would be about 6 ft from my spot on the couch. Is noise an issue? And I would have to say that a modded ASM is the best skimmer...LOL.

I am planning a little upgrade to my power heads. I can't decide between the Tunze 6101 kit (2 powerheads and multicontroller) or the Vortec kit (2 powerheads, 2 drivers, controller and 1 battery back up). They are both about the same price, just not sure which is better. Any opinions?

You can get black pvc pipe and fittings from 1/2" tp 6" from http://www.mcmaster.com/

I'll try that tonight, thanks.

Lesson learned. Nothing goes in without a dip. Too late for me though, I don't think I'll ever completely get rid of them.

No, unfortunately I had a flatworm problem and 4 of the 5 antias didn't survive the treatment. I noticed a few flatworms again yesterday, I'll be getting a yellow coris wrasse to try to keep them under control. I don't think I'll be using flatworm exit again.

Mine came out the first day and ate a little. Now he's a pig.

I put a gramma in my tank about 2 months ago, he hid for the first 2 or 3 days (except for feeding time), Now he's always out in the open, stays in one general area though.

I don't know what kind of zoo's they are. I bought some of my live rock from Danny in Piscataway and it had all kinds of zoos, shrooms, and monti's and a horn coral on it. It is a Sebae (heractis crispa) about 12" - 14" across.

Saw this guy on Divers Den and couldn't resist. Ocellaris needed a larger home.

Most likely a brittle star
