He'll give you profits plus interest on the skimmer

Some people kids hey ?? Codfather is an awesome guy,sent me a part for my calcium reactor.Wouldn't except payment for the part,or shipping.... i hold you forever in my debt

[Nano]

He sold your skimmer? Geez...

[toytech]

Did you have a big temp spike or drop (heat failure) and did the tank have water in it before you bought it , because if that fancy new rock wall leached something that would explain the wipeout . Sorry your fish died , that always sucks .
Ps did you actualy sell something you borrowed , could explain the bad karma in the tank though.

[Chase31]

No i did not sell it as i stated in my other thread i never got a reply to the pm asking when you wanted it back, its still sitting here ready to go when you want it , send me a pm.
Anyways i tested ammonia again and it was up to 0.2 but i think this may be due to the deaths. The two hermits are stil cruzing around fine so i dont think its cuz of leaching, im pretty sure everythings aquarium grade and has been leak tested. Im going to get a carbon reactor anyways soon. I think the turnover rate in my sump is to low around 400gph in a 70 system. The water is barely moving in my sumo and almost looks stagnant.

[lastlight]

That turnover sounds fine. Maybe oxygen is low what's your flow at the surface like?

[Chase31]

I have a korillia in the tank, lots of ripples on the surface, but theres sitting bubbles in my sump. And all my live rock is in the sump

I was looking at your setup and noticed that it looks like that you have bare MDF wood as a stand you might want to get that sealed too. that wil be another problem. have you looked at that copper pipe that you ave fgor a gate valve that could be the reason that corals are dying. and St Albert isn't a big place if you borrowed the skimmer from Codfather why are you waiting for him to pick it up drop it off. JUST SAYING

But that pipe of pipe could be that problem I just skimmed over the thread may be some one already pointed that out.

I wish I borrowed something from Cod and lived up there. I would take the oppertunity to drop off the skimmer just to see the progress on his monster build lol

[fishytime]

Looks to me like the overflow is a herbie style....I'd go with a gate valve, not a ball valve.... Costs way more but will save you a tonne of headaches....
