Yes, I did a lot of research before deciding on this skimmer; thing is a ton of money. The bubbles ahve stopped and it's collecting some pretty nasty brown gunk. So it's working. I do wish I had access to the back so I could see what's going on. It's definitely working now. It's pretty...

So, I still wasn't happy with this because the skimmer either didn't look like it was working or it was overflowing. This is a heck of an expensive tool so I couldn't just let it sit. I did some more Googling and found this. It's a troubleshooting guide for specific to the Deltec skimmers...

Lawdawg - that helped a ton, thank you! I'll stop fidgeting with the damn thing and try to relax. It's frustrating not being able to see into the unit (at least right now). The bubbles did get less numerous today; I think also the cup had filled with clear water, so I had to empty it and turn...

Thanks for responding! I've read the instructions, they do come with the thing after all =) I've read them exhaustively. I know 2 things from them that I think you're referring to: the bubbles should lower after 2 days of operation, but it still seemed like quite a few more bubbles, so I was...

Hey guys, I've been out of the hobby for near on 10 years. I'm back state-side now (in Oregon) and have a new reef set up. It's a 65 gallon, and currently has a lone purple firefish, tons of live rock, an urchin, snails, crabs, one peppermint shrimp, a few mushrooms, a blastomussa (mangled...

For some reason, I thought jawfish came in pairs. I really like watching that type of interaction, hence the reasoning. Could I do 2 firefish gobies and a jawfish, +2 percs? Or am I overloading if I do that? I totally forgot that VHO and PC was available here - its hard as hell (if not...

I was never a big poster, I did some though. I was under the impression that jawfish chose a small section to make their burrow - thereby a live sandbed would be ok for the most part. This is not correct? =/ Umm, 2 foot standard, which in Australia was 2x12x12 I think.. whats that like 25...

Well, It's been a long time since I've posted here. I recently moved back to NY from Australia... and find that I'm suddenly in a place where I can get some of the fish that I always wanted. Here's the situation: I have - nothing. What I'm looking at it something small, really. I'm...
