That's the flow restrictor. You need that or you won't get any output water.

Harsh.

The bubbles and the noise will subside after a couple of weeks.

Where can you buy the MCE600 in the US?

I have a 1500W (2000W peak) generator that I don't need. I bought it during the ice storm (it was all that was left) and later bought a bigger one. It works great, just a little on the small side....

I imagine it would work on just about any HOB. The aquaclears work so well because they're HUGE. Size matters in this case.

Update: Received it, but it doesn't fit in a 5.5G. It's too tall. :(

Anybody want to buy a cheap surface skimmer? ;)

Check out www.ahsupply.com . If you're a DIY'er, it's easy to make a simple canopy and cram 13W PC's in there. I have 4 in mine, with SLR reflectors.

I've had a pair of percs with a yellow tail in a 58 for several years now. No problems at all. There's a six-line and a royal gramma in the tank as well. They all get along.

I ordered one of these (http://www.bigalsonline.com/BigAlsUS/ctl3684/cp19174/si1378628/cl0/aquaclearsurfaceskimmer). It will be interesting to see how it works.

This is a little off topic, but I've never understood why MH had to be so high. Seems like a waste of light. Can somebody explain why?

Thanks,
