Flow OVER (Overflow) box without teeth!!!

By the way, does the Seaclone even works? I setup an used one yesterday and the bubbles seems so little that I think it will not skim unless you have mud water. Am I right? Guess it should go to my oyster/scallop tank.

 

[ming]

Seaclone here as well
The seaclone sorta works.. but they only skim in a week what my ASM does in about half a day

 

[RareZ]

Bying a complete set not knowing any better, with an in tank skimmer( with airstone ).

Ouch

 

[marrone]

Some people have gotten the Seaclone to work and if you modify it they will produce skimmer but no where near what a good skimmer will.

 

[pmui]

-Marc Weiss: Black powder
-250W. MH magentic ballast thats was ment to be used outdoors on my tank.
-Some odd skimmer that a tube and powerhead insode the tank.

I bought tons of stupid stuffs but I think of it as learning mistake and I don't regret any. I commited this hobby and I will stay as long as I can so I won't regret.

However, only thing that bother me is wish I started this hobby before I got marry. I could've setup one kick ass tank, I could've spend all kinds of money I want. Right now I need to get different fund account and skipping my lunch money to get new stuffs, it's pathetic.

So I guess I biggest mistake for this hobby will be my marriage I guess. I don't regret but it is the biggest obsticle for sure.

I also have a seperate account. HSBC allows you to give accounts nicknames when you view them online. Mine is called FISH TANK MONEY, my wife has one called BAGS AND SHOES.

CPR Overflow - Can you say floods on the dining room floor?
Skilter protein skimmer - Would probably work well as a planter.
Sea Clone - Better than a Skilter! LOL
Prism skimmer - Not as good as a Sea Clone!

Both Slama and I found our swing arms to be dead on accurate when we tested with our refractometers. Yes I'm sure that over time salt and calcium would build up on them and they would be off, but both of us did our first refractometer test and went "Damn, should have just borrowed someone else's"

FWIW, At a club meeting we tested about 7 or 8 refractometers along with a pinpoint salinity monitor and 4 or 5 of the swing arm boxes (coralife and Aqua. Pharm).

The refractometers had all been calibrated by their owners and each tested within .001 of each other(1.025-1.026). The salinity monitor was between 1.024 and 1.025 and ALL of the swing arm hydro's checked low from 1.021 to 1.024. It wasn't a scientific experiment by any means but what it did show is that the swing arm's aren't nearly as consistent and are probably more often than not reading low.
