Put most of the water in some buckets, along with about 20 lbs...

Yes, it's a big skimmer. Much bigger than I imagined it to be. I just couldn't wait until I got the 75g tank before using it.

Still have issues with Octopus Xtreme (w/ pics)

Ok, it's been a week since the skimmer has been up and running. I assume the break-in period should be over by now.

$110 shipped and with a drinking water override so you can drinK water before it goes through the DI.

Hard not to pull the trigger.

I have the 150.

I guess I need to put more water in the tank so that the foam 'spills' (for lack of a better word) over?

Sorry for my English

Can I see your skimmer in action?

I bought my Octopus Xtreme a couple of days ago and I still don't know if it's working or not. The search feature is currently disabled, so I can't search for old threads.

I know there's a break...

I did rinse it vinegar then soaked in water before putting in the tank.

Is this how my skimmer should look?

It's been 3 days since I started using it. Not sure if I'm doing things right since this is my first skimmer.

Willing to spend $400 on 48" lights

I had already made up my mind on the TX5 fixture, which I was getting for the old price ($357).

Unfortunately I was a day late, and now DIY Reef doesn't have any more of them.

Now I'm back to...

Your tank looks very nice.

I'm not sure I want to spend $200 more on the Constellation instead of getting the TX5 (or if it's worth it).

Any more thoughts?

Constellation fixtures

I wonder what these do and how they are better than normal fixtures... and why would someone spend that much money when they could grow anything with a normal fixture.

thx

It's 0.5, not .05

I have some PC. T5's are on their way.

It's a 29g tank. Isn't a 20g water change a bit too much?
