Thanks for the replies. FYI - On a different board, someone recommended a simple in-line carbon filter.

Sure - the sky is the limit for equipment. As this is my first SW tank (I am running a 30G FW tank for more than a year now), I want to keep the initial configuration simple to learn the hobby and to focus on beginner corals, inverts, and fish. My tank is a standard 48½ x 18½ x 21½ with a 4"...

Quick question to folks in the Chicagoland community. Those of you receiving your tab water from the Michigan Lake, did anyone of you use it for your Reef aquarium? I checked the phosphate concentration on a web site and it seems too high to not produce additional algae growth - but than...

I agree with ecoReefers. On my 75G, the skimmer is gravity fed. You may need to adjust the return pump flow, as the Turbofloater requires a certain water level in the skimmer to produce dry foam. BTW- fish_who?'s pictures show a modified version of the Turboloater .

Thanks for the comments. On a different board, I got the advice to use a nipple adapter to connect to the bulkhead. I will check into it. The incoming water preassure to the skimmer is sufficient. I have read a few threads on the gph requirements for the Turbofloater - they all recommended a...

I am looking for suggestions how to best connect the 1.5" bulkhead (from the overflow)to a flexible PVC pipe. Most pipes I found in HW stores do not fit on the bulkhead. The PVC pipe will then lead into the intake of my Turbofloater skimmer.
