Sorry, yes I did finally get it on Tuesday.

No-one tried to screw me or anything, but I was displeased that I had to inquire before finding out why the shipment was so late instead of the...

Thumbs down for Midwest Squatics

Ordered some H&S sulfur from them over 2 weeks ago. Sent an email yesterday to see if it's shipped or what and got this response:

I have my temp probe tie wrapped to the electrical cord on one of my Tunze Nanostreams. A pair of black tie wraps are hard to notice, and that probe isn't going anywhere.

Halmedia. Stuff overgrows everything. That and/or the Zoa eating Nudibranches that hitchhiked in several years ago. Though they were easily dispatched.

Salt spray is to blame. I doubt the Ca reactor is making any difference.

But I have mine dripping in the "return" chamber.

I'm currently housing an adult Scopas, and juvenile (teenage?) Kole and Hippo tangs in my 125.

They're all acrylic tubes with media and a recirc pump. They're all the same.

It's been noted that the H&S "sphere" media is better than the Caribsea "Split Pea" media, but I haven't had any...

Heh. Sorry guys, as he's been banished to the sump I doubt I'll see him again. I have a fair bit of rockwork in there too.

Nifty crab hitchhiker.

He's currently in a glass prison on my coffee table, but I'm wondering if I should pitch him, banish him to the sump, or re-introduce him to the display.

In other words, ID him?

Nope. Water level affects the performance of most skimmers. It's a matter of the skimmer pump being able to push water "higher" with more water in the sump.

I use one. Bought it second hand from another reefer.

Works just fine. They're very simple, and the workmanship is OK. It's kinda like my Midwest Aquatic denitrifier. "Pro-Am". Obviously not mass...

Yeah, a maxi-jet will work just fine with no head pressure.

The VA pumps are cheap and reliable. I had a 2600 as the return pump on my old 90g.

I assume these are in cemented slip connections, right? If so, cut 'em and re-do 'em.

When cementing them, don't just slide the pieces together. twist them from side to side so that the pvc...

Probably not. The intensity will be going down a bit. Your corals might not be terribly happy, but other than a bit of temporary browning I doubt anything would die.

Oh, one of the advantages of finally getting an airmeter, is proving to myself an old tale I've seen here before. Closing off the air hose with the clamp ever so slightly bumped me from 7lph to 9lph.
