Clavius85 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 I managed to plug the hole that I made on the 9002's body where I removed the magnet. I also attached the magnet to the side and put the skimmer in the tank. Only to realize that the skimmer cup won't even fit in chamber 1 of the Solana! So, I've ordered a 9002 upgraded skimmer cup from inTank/StevieT. Link to comment

Clavius85 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 no the tunze 9002 Oh, well that's a deal. Cheapest I've seen the 9002 is $152. And that's what I paid. Got it from PremiumAquatics. Link to comment
badfish816 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 everyone i have seen that uses these say they love it. Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 everyone i have seen that uses these say they love it. I'm definitely excited to get it working. But I can't do that until StevieT's cup comes. So hopefully by the end of the week I'll be able to let you guys know how well the 9002 works. On a side note I plan on shooting a new video tonight. This one will be in 720p! Link to comment

Clavius85 Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 how fast do your monti caps grow? Well some of them grow pretty quickly (the purple and the red). But others just don't seem to do anything. The green with red polyp monti I have doesn't seem to have grown at all since I got it. In other news the Chalk Bass is eating. Yay! Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 Chalk Bass is getting chased around occasionally by Pygmy Angel. Hopefully it's just temporary. Two shots of the Chalk Bass: Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Another video, because I was bored: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0vYmCABryk&hd=1 Link to comment
Banjo Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I love that Chalk Bass. I've been thinking about getting one myself. Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 I love that Chalk Bass. I've been thinking about getting one myself. It's a pretty cool little fish. It mostly hangs out in the top of the water column though. The Pygmy Angel is still my favorite. In other news I'm lookin into getting a Crocea or Maxima clam from LiveAquaria. There are a couple of really nice ones in the Divers Den section that I have my eye on. I had looked into getting an RBTA. But I decided that I didn't want the potential trouble of a nem.

Clavius85 Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 and get a clam! Well... I was all prepared to order one from the Diver's Den. BUT, I just found out that I will probably be moving soon. Which means I have to move this tank. Ugh. Just the thought of moving it is depressing. I don't know how I'm going to pull it off. Link to comment
cruzH20polo Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 i know the feelin ive gotta move at the end of the month Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 So I finally got the Tunze 9002 skimmer up and running with inTank's upgraded skimmer cup. But the bubbles won't rise very fare up the column in the cup. At best they get about half way. And this is with the valve opened all the way to let the most air in. Does this thing just need to break in or is something wrong here? Link to comment
