There's something fishy about this build...

I pulled it out and cleaned all of it. It’s such a nonsensical design. You can’t control the air intake or the water intake. You can turn the pump up and reduce the outflow but neither seems to increase the foam just the water level.

If you have a small air pump, you can hook it up to the airline. I've done that in the past.

Well it’s making foam. How long till it sucks up more debris and stops working though?

I miss my Tunze Comline, which is sitting in my closet but doesn't fit. It would work in my old refugium despite all of the detritus and chaeto it sucked in; it just soldiered on.

So make sure you're entered for the Tunze Comline giveaway.

So I can have more skimmers sitting in my closet?

I mean, I just won the Coralife Skimmer on Facebook and have a brand new ESHOPPS in the garage still in the box, an older Coralife Super Skimmer in the garage, an older something-or-other-else skimmer sitting in the garage, and the IOAOI that got urchin ate sitting in my dining room waiting for a repair...

I did send my Curve 7 to another guy on the forum because he needed one.

This has been a consideration of mine. Aren't they mostly cold water species though?

@JoJosReef this is what Makhani should look like

Kind of surprised it hasn’t completely taken over yet.

Should be getting $500 (minus the massive discount he gave!) worth of Acropora from BattleCorals on Thursday!!

Alk 9.9
Nitrate 57.8
Phosphate 0.14

Guess I’m upping my vodka…
Hopefully it will work better now that the skimmer is working
