Show off(noun)

to behave in an ostentatiously skilled and assured way with the intention of impressing others

Not only does Kien "show off" but he impresses too while doing it he is the SW aquariust version of Austin Powers

I'm glad he shows off, this thread is where I find new corals I want to buy.

So, "Goldmember" or "The Aquarist Who Shagged Me" ? Er.. nevermind, don't answer that.

A weeks worth of skimming with the new Bubble Magus Curve 9 !

It took my last skimmer almost a year to really get broken in. The new Curve 9 seems to be doing just fine after just a couple of weeks of use. Thumbs up ! Still a ways to go before long term viability can be assessed. I'm still expecting the needle wheel to crap out at any moment

Eww, that's gross. I just ate my dinner.

Stock up now on a couple extra needle wheels so this beast will last for forever, and ever, and ever!

Ya, I was thinking just that! Get the bad boys now while they are plentiful and cheap 'cuz in a year form now they will likely triple in cost!

how is the noise and vibration of the skimmer. I hear it is louder then the curve 7. what's your thoughts?

Seems pretty quiet to me. I don't notice it at all. My last skimmer with the eheim pump I think was noiser! Maybe the curve 9 needs to be broken in a bit more then the noise will kick in ?

My stand is skinned with some pretty thick Ikea cabinet doors though, so maybe that helps to muffle it? At any rate, compared the the last two skimmers that I had (Bubble Magus 220CS and Hydor), this one is a lot quieter. I have no other frame of reference to compare to.

Do you get a bad smell from all the air holes in the top. I found my 7 is bad for that. Needs a carbon filter on or in it.
