My bad Paul. Thats was a different skimmer. I don't see how I can run a tube from the collection cup of the reef octopus.

Would like to try an SPS. Would this be a good one to start with?

The skimmer is a reef octopus 1000. http://www.marinedepot.com/Reef_Octopus_Classic_1000_HOB_Protein_Skimmer_Protein_Skimmers_for_Saltwater_Aquariums_Reefs_Nano_Skimmer-Reef_Octopus-CV20308-FIPSNS-vi.html

Thanks Paul. I assume you have an overflow for your skimmer. Mine doesn't. Just a rectangular box that which is collection cup fits inside the skimmer.

My HOB skimmer fed into a 5g bucket just in case of overflow. Well was gone 2 days and bucket overflowed and had about 10g water all over my laminate floor. Guess I should have installed a switch to turn off skimmer when bucket was near full. Live and learn. All being said the skimmer I have...

Been there.

Nice and I was going to use screws to hang the power strips in the cabinet.

Also, place it where you can easily access it. I am short and placing it in the middle was difficult to access the collection cup, diffuser, etc. So now it sits in the corner.

Paul, can't stop by until next week.

Thanks Paul. Mine is 72 gallons and wondering if it would be to much flow.

Paul, how many gallons is your tank again?

Thanks The filter is easy as I can run it in a vinegar bath. The heater is not submersible so that would be harder. Luckily its not going in the DT.

Question. I used a HOB filter for the hospital tank but would like to add it on on to DT later to run GFO. How do I clean it to ensure no copper get into the DT and kills coral? Thanks Mark

True, the back of his tank is a forest of them.

Sorry all thought I loaded the pics already.

Has anyone used this? I was thinking of getting and dose bi-weekly as it states. Aquarium Water Conditioners & Quality: Marine-Max Water Conditioner And Marine Clean Aquarium Water Quality & Conditioners: Marine-Clean Water Conditioner

James, I will take one.

They do move and rather quickly for something that small. Anyway had to breakdown and clean the glass so they are no longer in view.

That is how I was able to see some polyps, feeding during the day. Just wondering if positioning is okay; does it need more or less light?

I picked up the box from Dan today. I only wanted the UPS. If any one can use the other stuff let me know. Mainly halide fixtures and bulbs. Will get some pics.
