brad908 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Why does my skimmer keep overflowing?!?!?!?! Before the water level was too high, so I made a stand. Was running great, and now overflowing again. Water height hasn't change at all Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Your dosing a type of carbon with zeovit.....? Link to comment
brad908 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Your dosing a type of carbon with zeovit.....? Yea, start3 is a carbon source. Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Carbon makes your skimmer go crazy - reduce the water level, or open up the flow restrictor so that the fractionated foam head sits lower so you get dryer skimmate. If you have it wide open, raise your skimmer half inch and wait to see if your still overflowing. Link to comment

pschom Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Nice! I wonder why your torch tentacles are half the size of mine. Same thing.... Pretty much the same size. Link to comment
brad908 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Nice! I wonder why your torch tentacles are half the size of mine. Same thing.... Pretty much the same size.Not sure, maybe mad from too much flow? Free frag "Turquoise Stag" Stilo Green slimer. Was all but dead before dosing. No color or polyps Valida...picked up Saturday Garf Bonsai? Was brown with no polyps 2 weeks ago Link to comment
mpsti05 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Wow! Those 2 frags coming back from the dead are nice. Now you think that's from the zeo or 2part? Link to comment
brad908 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Wow! Those 2 frags coming back from the dead are nice. Now you think that's from the zeo or 2part? I think just a "perfect storm". End of the out of no where cycle, stable params with the 2part, and benefits of zeo. Still waiting on my zeo reactor. The company in England forgot to send it lol. Should be here tomorrow or Tuesday. Can't believe this weather. 55* yesterday and now freezing today Link to comment

pschom Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Sorry to say but Above this picture are those REDBUGS ? on that Garf Bonsai? did you Dip the Acros? Take it out quick and dip it! That or just make a bucket and dip your rocks. Better than loosing all of that over time. Link to comment
brad908 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 ####kkkk I'll have to look when the lights come in. I've dipped all my corals except for the ones we got 2 weeks ago. I noticed some red spots on the green slimer plug too. Link to comment
brad908 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 I didn't think you could see red bugs unless you had a real close up macro pic? Link to comment
brad908 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 I might have to rip down this whole tank, I will find out in a few hours. If that is the case, I might just end up setting up Rehypes 24x24x9 up. Link to comment
