Like an Amusement Ride for fish! My Lawnmower Blenny does that in my Tank, but I don't have enough flow to even phase my Flame Angel. How much are tickets? Can I bring my Angel there for a few rides?

Bring on over, you will never be able to catch him to get him out!

The tank has less flow now with all the SPS taking up real estate.

One more flow vid.

Nice to have a little bit of euro bracing to stop the flow from splashing over the tank sides.

Pic of my skimmer waste container, IO 200 gallon pail.

I have a toilet plunger inside that has some styrofoam attached to it to allow auto-shut-off. This worked well, but if the skimmer ever filled the pail the shut-off would cause soo much back-pressure on the skimmer that it would lift up and move everything in my frag section of my sump.

The solution was to add a 10 inch long pvc pipe to the input of the pail. Once the pail was filled 65% of the way the pipe would be submerged and cause the skimmer to slow down considerably, but not stop. Then the fuler it gets the slower the skimmer goes, so it hasn;t been a problem now for over 2 years.

What is this, new pump?

Yep for a calcium restor.

This calcium reactor!

For perspective I had a male model stand beside it.

Always need a livestock shot.
