Yup, it is. One of my favorite corals! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you kind sir! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Still chugging along. Pics before lights out tonight. Right side (mostly LPS and softies) Left side (mostly SPS) FTS Random coral pics Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sure, I can cut you one when things settle down. My colony is getting pretty big. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It does not - only the tiny screw/needle. You are right, it’s not very accurate and I don’t see how it adjusts air flow - either it’s open or not. I’ll pick up the in-line valve and see if that helps. I also run my airline outdoors which helps to keep noise very low and PH at a consistent...

Nice! I’m actually having similar issues with inconsistent skimming as well. Unfortunately, it’s a Skimz so I already have the same silencer lol. Glad it worked out for you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Off topic, but do you do anything special to force the SPS to grow up, instead of spreading over the disc? Thanks!

Hmmmm, maybe your right. Either way, nice piece! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for donating to the club! I have a large colony in my tank as well- one of the cheapest/hardiest/most common corals out there but it’s definitely one of my favorites. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking good! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the update, Michael. As I said in my post, I very much hope to have a quality store in the area and hope everything works out. Since you are asking, I would suggest working on cleaning up the “mess” around the store. I am sure it’s not intentional but when there are buckets, cables...

And finally one of my faves now. Took off when it was a tiny eraser sized frag but has slowed down considerably. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Another update. Finally got all the sand removed. Good thing is that I can turn up my pumps without worrying about sand storms but I have to say, I am not a huge fan of barebottom. I am already looking forward to the next build and getting sand back in :) Part of the reason I removed the sand...

I can definitely raise it, dropping is the issue. The manufacturer recommends 7-9.5” and I am right around 7.5. Would you recommend going beyond the 7”? Excuse my ignorance but whats the rationale for raising the skimmer itself when there is enough pressure to get the bubbles to the top as is...

Odd indeed. I’ll clean it out this weekend but will take a pic once more skimmate accumulates are the top of the cup. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No, not a DC pump so I’ve been adjusting the outlet and air intake. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, I know it’s oversized but even when I was running an undersized skimmer I was getting similar results. Perhaps I should get a skimmer that’s perfectly sized lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nothing thick. I usually end up with the tea-like skimmate (water) in the cup and very thick skimmate on the neck. Honestly, this is how I’ve always ran my skimmers but after watching a recent BRS video, I learned that skimmate isn’t really supposed to collect at the neck and is supposed to flow...

80 gallon tank and the skimmer is the Skimz SM201. I know the skimmer is rated for a much larger tank but I purchased it as part of a full tank set up and I have a pretty big bio load. I previously had a much smaller skimmer but had similar skimmate issues. Perhaps user error? Based on other...

I haven’t. The size of the skimmer really only allows me to run it at one height - 7.5” which is within the recommended height. I guess at the end of the day I am not quite sure what to look for. I see fairly fine bubbles all the way up to the edge of the collection cup. Should I be seeing...
