that skimmer looks awful familiar .. :-)

great LPS collection !!

Skimmerking 05-29-2010 02:48 AM

thanks man already i have like 2" of skimmate in the cup i cant believe it Kien did you cut off the cup drain tube or leave it/

kien 05-29-2010 02:59 AM

Nope, left it. Was going to but decided not to. I find it handy so far. I just fold it up and tuck it under the skimmer cup.

Doug 05-29-2010 04:40 PM

Lots of room in the sump now Mike.

And lots of corals. Hmmmm. Better bring the frag bag and come for coffee. :lol:

andestang 05-29-2010 04:47 PM

I dont know why I got him from Colby and, i have been feeding like a retard here to get him ftty ,but the other fish are getting fat im going to get a pic of the sail-fin he is 2" fat in the belly

Lance 05-29-2010 06:37 PM

So what do you think of the Bubble Magus Mike?

Skimmerking 05-29-2010 07:20 PM

I can't really tell you as of now Lance its doing pretty good thou. I gave it a bath in vinegar for 20 mins and stuck it in the sump now i have like 2" of brown dark skim mate in the cup since yesterday. so that is pretty good. To be honest with you ever since that i sold my Deltec 851 i really missed that skimmer.

And when I seen from Kien's skimmer that it had the ehiem i had to get it. that pump is so wicked too.

As of now im pretty happy for the 24hr period. now since the house is going n the market as of Monday. Im looking for a new house we have one in mind thou. Then the next question is do I leave that tank in there for the next person or take it with me , leaving it there if they want it wont be so bad. taking it out will be a Pita.

so may be a new tank or a rubbermaid for now:sad:

I still have my vertex skimmer thou may be a 8foot tank may pop up or the 10 footer

Skimmerking 07-10-2010 10:42 PM

Ok i hope i have some better pictures here.

Nice Aussie collection! Might have to start calling you "Down Under Mike" :mrgreen:

Greenmaster 07-11-2010 08:27 AM

One thing we can look forward to when you sell your house and buy a new one... the new 250g inwall build :D
Best of luck on selling your house, I have only had to do it once and it wasn't fun.

fishytime 07-11-2010 02:27 PM

Skimmerking 07-11-2010 02:33 PM

Those are some sick acans. So when are you going to change your name to Acan King? :)

Skimmerking 01-14-2011 12:34 PM

LOl I had alot more ,however some of them died:cry: along with $1000 in Scollies for some reason. so i hope that they will be alot better in the new tank on the rock mount that i have constructed.
