I just inherited a Tidepool SOS skimmer and everything is working A-OKAY, except I can't get the water bridge part to work and make the siphon. Normally, with smaller diameter tubes I just plug them...

I know there are varying opinions, but it was...

I'm going to polish the glass on my 74 gal using cerium oxide, but I'm not sure what to use to buff it out. I've read to use pads made out of hard felt or leather, but I'm not sure where to find...

It was always my understanding that as long as your wring out most of the water, you're not going to introduce enough to make a difference. It's not like you're pouring in cups of it. Although, if...

Gotcha. Perhaps I'll give it a try. I'm assuming as long as I keep an eye on it, it can't do much harm.
