No I know the Canal Street Special by experience, I live in Miami but visit NYC, quite often. My GF has a house in the Highlands, NJ. She loves Canal street and the city, we have bought various stuff. What is the knockoff BK. As for watches i have the Daytona with a white face.

After reading this by Herman I changed my airvalue on my DAS to the 1 o clock position, it was fully open before. I have been running it that way ignorantly ever since I got my DAS skimmer (like I said before I am retarded when it comes to the hardware of a reef tank). Anyway, what a difference, the bubbles became much more intense and extremely tiny (and I thought they were small before). It seems to be producing even more skimmate than it did previously, something I didn't think possible.

THANKS Herman for the good advice!

wow I can't wait to set up the ex-2 now.

also all the snails spawned again last night, I spoke to my roommate and the elos ns-1000 had filled a cup overnight of murky stinky water she said.
I'll say one thing for the elos, it's really easy for someone who knows nothing about skimmers to empty the cup. It just lifts right off. Even shaun could do it

they ran this thing againest the aquabee2000 in europe, and they said same performance in air and water output. It just came to america on a skimmer called biostar. Check your local aquamedic dealer.
