I added an algae scrubber from Santa Monica filtration. It's been running for a little over 2 weeks. It went through a brown slime phase, and is now growing green algae. I don't know weather to attribute this to the scubber or not, but my tank has improved. Glass Is staying cleaner, coral looks...

My emeral crab is out today. Haven't seen it in at least a month. Good little critter. Took care of my bubble algae in about 2 weeks. I got it back in August. Glad to see it. I was starting to wonder if it croaked.

I have green star polyp growing on the glass of my aquarium. It is real easy to peel off in sheets if anyone wants it. It's nice looking stuff, but it grows fast, so I'm looking to trim some back, and give it away. I'm in north jersey. Pm me if interested.

I added an emerald crab. Took care of my bubble algae in a few days. It's been in there for 2 weeks, and It ate all unwanted algae In my tank.

Finally got my protein skimmer issue resolved. I tried using a hand me down corallife skimmer for a while. Couldn't get that dialed in. Always skimmed too wet or not at all. Couldn't find the sweet spot. Bought a brand bew Bubble Mangus QQ2 skimmer. It's day 4, and broken in. Working very well...

I have a hydor 240 gph in my 10 nano. It's just right. They also make a 300, that's the same size, but more powerful.

Tank is 6 months old soI figured I'd update the thread. Can't provide any pics due to inoperative camera. Tank is loaded with coral. I even put and acro in there. Kind of risky, but it colored up and grew, so i guess my cheap leds are good Enough for an acro, although it's high up realy close to...

I just used some pvc unions under my rocks to create space. My shrimp and goby can dig all they want. The rocks can never shift. My goby has 5 entrances in different locations, and an elaborate tunnel system. We don't know that the thing won't dig else where in spite of your efforts. They don't...

I've had the skimmer running for a week now. When my skimmer was not working, I was doing 50% water changes weekly, just to keep nitrates below 40ppm. With the skimmer operating, I only did a 20% water change, and nitrates are 10 ppm. although the skimate is A little light in color, I'm happy...

I have a corallife 65 skimmer operating in my sump. It's old and has a few bandaid repaired, but at least I know it fits and it works. I will be getting the one from njtiger24 in a few weeks that is in good condition. This one has a Few hairline cracks, and the air nipple is broken off the...

I already chipped that out. I know exactly what your talking about. I though that would fix it for sure, but it still doesn't work right. I've gone through every part of the skimmer a dozen times. I can't explaine it, but it just doesn't seem to be able to move water and air like it use too. The...

Not a bad idea, but I'm going to give the corallife skimmer a try.

Yea. I found a spot for them & my green star polyp's to live. I can get more for you though.

Looks good

Im not familiar the deals and steals forum. I can't seem to find it.

I have come to the conclusion that I new in sump skimmer is the solution to the problem. Being I only have 14 gal total water volume, and 7" deep sump, are there any skimmer anyone knows of that will work? I'm not to proud to take someone's used one off your hands if someone has one they would...

The skimmer is $90, the impeller is 50. it doesn't make sense to me to through money at this. A specially since there is no visual defects on the impeller. Maybe a week magnet. But usually there would be somthing broken, cracked or worn it that you could verify.

I agree, however all the skimmers I see for nanos, are either hob, or designed for bio cube chambers. I have a sump with about 7" deep water in it. The submersable ones for the bio cubes are designed to sit much deeper in the water with just the colection cup above the water line. Any...

I have cleaned the orafice to the ventury, and have run it without the silencer, to ensure it gets unrestricted air. The needle wheel pump seems to have lost power. The last few times I started it up, I had a hard time getting it to prime. I have scrutinized it for any restrictions & found...

I have a bubble magus hob (hang on back) protein skimmer. When I set up my tank I bought this brand new and it broke in a few days. It skimmed well for several months. Then one day it just stopped producing. It been several months since it has skimmed. I have torn it down several times. It's...
