It was white but the skimmer did bog down a bit when I attached the airline. The chamber thinned out and the bubble line dropped. Didn’t pair well I’m guessing
I think you could raise the skimmer to reduce head pressure to get more air. Or do I have that reversed.... I so want a DC skimmer pump.
Raising the skimmer would have been a good idea(the skimmer could have benefited from less pressure). The added air restriction made a audible difference on the pump’s ability to function. I did not troubleshoot around it. Instead I took the loud sound as a red flag towards my pump’s longevity. Last I checked ph hovers around 7.9 not great but the coral keep on keepin on.
Dc is clutch for skimmers because you can lower or raise the power at the touch of a bottom. Comes in handy for me because I crank up the power when the skimmer neck gets dirty or just after a cleaning.
I didn’t get a notice about the video on YouTubeChecked on my pH this afternoon and found this:
Checked the CO2 scrubber and found that where I thought it would fail, it did... I just didn't anticipate it would fail so soon. I unclogged the air-line but feel I really need to find a more permanent solution.
Posted another fish tank build video:
Ate all my Zoas... (I did, thankfully, save a bunch in my exile tank.)

He wasn't doing well in a Pal's FOWLR tank because he had other large angels. He was rehomed to me for some frags and baby cardinals when they're ready. I love the fish but its a bummer I'm limited in my corals. He grunts a lot - I hear him chatting all day with the other fish. Well, I am hoping he'll leave the cabbage leather, devil's hand and toadstool alone.
Emps are a true joy. I loved mine. Yes I did see most of your vids, that one included. You, nowglazeit, lost and stange are all serious with your builds. I'm back here with my coffee chilling and seeing what you guys build and come up with. There are a few others to name. But, looks like most of their projects are done.He wasn't doing well in a Pal's FOWLR tank because he had other large angels.

I know he loves neon candycane and blastos too...
Have you seen the video of him eating out of my hand?
I believe it! I have a little personal sized fan leaning up against the wall right near my ac vent blowing air on the tank. It's not even blowing it on the waters surface. Just literally blowing towards the tank. I no longer have high heat issues. When the AC is running a lot , it actually can cool the tank down too much. It is a very ridiculous looking, super low tech setup (you know my styleSo I was Tung-oiling my kids new workbench and I had the windows open in the basement and the tank got too hot and had to put bags of ice in it to cool it off. So, I put a fan to help with the cooling and omg its really flattening out my heating curves.
I am really surprised how much a 140mm fan will cool.
), but it works. Husband and father both question me on it. But every time they turn the fan off, I start getting notifications that my temp is getting too high.
