surgicalsense Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 I have skimmate! Frothy However the water I am using to break this bad boy in is not dirty enough to show it is removing the yuck. The froth is to clean looking to me, in my opinion. Any suggestions? Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Is it on your tank? Skimmer yes Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Cool! I still mess with mine twice a day. Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Cool! I still mess with mine twice a day. I am debating if I should drop in the chamber today, before Sundays water change or wait another week? Would it even matter or make a difference? I am not sure... Link to comment
Trogdor447 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Do what you do! dont do anything crazy actually time will help - since you just started bubbling.. you will still have to break it in i think! Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Do what you do! dont do anything crazy actually time will help - since you just started bubbling.. you will still have to break it in i think! It ran several days with the fizzing, so I should run it several days with the foaming? Right... Link to comment
gena Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 If your tank is ready for the skimmer now, what's the harm of breaking it in, in the tank? I personally would just put it in today I heard back from John at reef cleaners. He's adding those two items to my order. I don't think he's charging for it either. He never responded back about me sending payment for those. Great guy Link to comment
FlCandy Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Just put it in! I think you need dirtier water to get the skimmate you want. I skim wet but my bubbles are tinted green/brown and look thick. Blergh that thing smells so bad when I clean it. Link to comment

I have been adjusting it for the last hour since it skims differently in the chamber then it does in the bucket. I am almost close to the correct air flow for it Link to comment

Well either way if you want me to transfer the $$ into your paypal please do not hesitate to have me do so. I went to Scales'n'Tails today and dropped off my 3g hood. It will be ready Tuesday. However I was not pleased with the FW fish selection there so I cruised over to Marks and got L 2 cherry shrimp (prego female) for his tank and some cleaning snails. my new blenny is awesome he is more of an algae eater already than my previous blenny!...

surgicalsense Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Cool on the skimmer! Thanks darlin ... After running around to my LFSs, I was like screw it. I am putting it in and breaking it some more this way. So after my complete tank maintenance tomorrow morning I am going to run back to Marks and get my SW refills and maybe some more goodies. I am looking forward to the Vivid trip next weekend with Gena. Also I have the zoas I purchased on ebay coming next week Link to comment

jgpico Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I know I am way behind on my pictures for my most current updates. I'm pretty sure I counted about 10 pages without pics. I'm a little dissapointed, I come to see some reefer madness and I leave empty handed. Link to comment

surgicalsense Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Q: I am getting tiny bubbles from my powerhead. My pump is completely submerged in 5 to 6" of water. Is it going out? Good news my skimmer is nice and foamy, but it is clean foam building up in the cup Link to comment

Good news my skimmer is nice and foamy, but it is clean foam building up in the cup adjust the level down some - you want the bubbles to break before the top. Bubbles from your powerhead - are they microbubbles being sent in from the skimmer? Link to comment

Bubbles from your powerhead - are they microbubbles being sent in from the skimmer? They are microbubbles but this was happening before I even put the skimmer in Ch.2 ... I just never made mention of it only because I really did not think it was a big deal, but now I am having doubts. Link to comment
