Mike I was pulling chunks from a lifeless tank of dry rock. I expect RESULTS soldier tune that skimmer!

Intake nozzle should be all the way shut then open one full turn to align the dots. How I gave it to you though. Then turn the standpipe yadda yadda. I'm sure you've done all this.

FWIW I never used vinegar to clean it I just ran the thing. Maybe you're vigorous cleaning will mean it needs to break in I'm not sure.

Well I got bored and ened up taking some fish and rock out of my tank i took out the Pj cardinals hated them what a ugly boring fish. Put them in the sump, well the BK had a lunch of one of them . then I found a anthias getting beaten up so out he went to the SPCA fish care place AKA DOUG's tank. thanks Doug.

Then I still have a Lammerick Angel that i dont want, so Off to Doug's place once I get the fish out of the tank. now since he is going to be out tonight I hope with all the less rock its going to be alot easier now.

Here is a picture of the tank with the rock in there and and I have taken out 1 of the MH in the Middle.

oh ya I have 4 clowns in there now .

BEFORE



AFTER I really like the After now I have the middle for the SPS and the sides for the LPS and clams so far.


I still have a 30 gal tub full to the rim with LIVe rock just need to figure out how to run this on the tank, with out using my sump since the BK is in the sump and now room for the rock.

ANy idea's how???????

crappy blurry one there sorry

have your tub between the tank and the sump have the tank drain into the tub and cut a slot and create your own overflow or drill it so it drains into your sump

Looks good (not that it didn't before).

Can you have a shelf higher than your sump or display (not necessarily above) for the rubbermaid? Tee off the return pump or separate pump to feed, gravity return back.
