[ctxmonitor]

I just dug up a pics of the calitort and what a difference it is. This cali tort was from my old 75 gallon tank and manage to survive all the bad times.

Here is a picture when I first put it in my tank

The skimmer is doing great actually. After a week of breaking-in and tunning, its doing great. I post some pics of skimmate tonight.

I just clean the skimmate last night so I post how it fair out today.

I still think it could improve a lot more. Re-circulating and maybe switch to two smaller pump. This pump alone uses 65watt. The venturi is very small, maybe i should modified that so it can suck it more air.

you can if you like =D

Dav, i need to glue some arcylic together and silicone it to my sump for an auto-top off water. What glue am I suppose to use? Weldon?? Where to get some? I know reefoman had this other type of arcylic glue that doesn't bubble for him I remember he saying.

tom come over drop my jewler's rogue stuff off, and come grab some weldon 4

dav, alright. I try this weekend.

The tank have 1 hippo tank 3+ inches, 1 midas blenny 3 inch, and 2" forktail blenny. I will be adding a 3+ purple tang in too, since the skimmer is up and running.

The tank was up for about two months without skimmer or sump. Just setup the sump and skimmer during the weekend.

The skimmer is broken in I guess after 4 days of usage.

Here is the amount skimmate after 24hrs:

Keep in mind that the skimmer cup is 7.8" diameter. And here is the bubble size in the neck.

Haven't updated this thread for quite some time

The tank is doing great!! I get mad PE on all the sps. That is always a good sign, I guess.

I'm still trying to work out the parameters in my tank. Need to have everything as close to nsw as possible.

Damn those are hairy! I see you finally got that stylo frag, looks great!

Since going BB and doing everything right from the start really improved alot of things. I guess I'm a little more experienced now than when I first started

Here is another hairy sps. I have no idea what this could be.


I'm leaning toward a tenius, but it look like something else.

This I am hoping it would be an oregon tort

That looks like an Oregon Tort. What do you have for flow in that tank?
