    siphon break return line?

    Thanks guys, I don't know how I got this far in life. I bent the line so it's somewhat sitting in the water. Only a minimal amount of water is sucked down now. Much much better then before! Just picture the first setup. I drilled a hole, the hole was pointing up out of water. I turn on the...

    siphon break return line?

    so I'm more of an idiot. I drilled a hole.. it works.. but water shoots out of it. I made it so the hole is covered by pending the plastic.. but it drips water back into the DT which I don't mind. I would also like to know the proper way to not be an idiot?

    Small footprint skimmer for 50g w/ 18g sump

    I'm not too sure. I'm assuming I can. I'm waiting to hear back from Jon Warner. I must of e-mailed him a million times. "it's working!!.." 1hr hour later "it's not working". I currently have it running & it's working. The minute I shut it off it will be 50/50 if it turns on correctly.

    Small footprint skimmer for 50g w/ 18g sump

    What Brando said. I'm having a problem if I turn the pump off, turn it back on, the impeller doesn't spin & just vibrates. I've already replaced the impeller, sent the pump out, & I'm still having the same problem. I'm just done with it. Been going on for a month or so now. I would have to blow...

    What kind of Skimmer and why?

    I have a Warner Marine MF121. This is my first skimmer, so I guess I'm not really any help, hah. I was having problems with the impeller, but Jon Warner is pretty good with warranty & helping. Finally got it up & running for real yesterday & it seems to be doing the job well as far as I can tell!
