Pie, I think this could easily be taken as a confusing subject. I think Reef is saying your skimmer's pumps, (Which are part of the unit) will pull in 3000 litres per hour into the skimmer. (Deltec would have tested this for sure). Its like trying to put a v8 into a mini. It'll work, but you'll get less life out of your chassis and tyres and so on.... It doesnt matter a rats arse if you had seven Iwakis turning over your tank a million times an hour, The skimmer is still pulling in what IT requires for its design. (3000 LPH) It just means it has more chances to skim the same piece of water than a tank with less TANK flow. (Not to be confused with SKIMMER FLOW). Get me drift?

The above information would be soley dependant upon the amount of pump pressure in the skimmer or attached to the skimmer....... Its got me buugered, all I mknow is my Deltec pulls out heaps of crap and my turnover is very fast.

Mmmm...frozen sounds better, Stoopid me did it fresh soft and stinky!!!

Nice pic....... I did that....made my own food in a processor...Never do it again, The wife didnt touch me for three days and The kitchen stank for a week! Better to go the LFS and swap between brine and mysid and add spiralina every now and then Just my opinion!

I think pie is saying his total tank turnover is fast. Not that the skimmer isnt contacting the water it is receiving. In other words water is rushing into and out of the skimmer area from the main tank, (Or wherever), and Pie is wondering whether the water is flying past the skimmer and being missed. Is this what you mean Pie?

I dont think it would actually matter Pie. At the end of the day it is going to clean the water column anyway, Slow or fast shouldnt make a difference in my opinion. As long as the skimmer can handle the litreage. Personally i would try and push as much through it and as fast as you can, ensuring every drop of water is fractionated. Just my little ol' opinion though.

By the way Chim.... Crap shot too!!!

Do fish get ring worm? Reef? :lol:

I'd say he's got ringworm.... Has he been playing with the Cat again? This one is defintely not a girl either, He's too damn ugly!! Just kidding Chim. He's cute really!

Edited!!! :roll:

Ohhhh I see................. Edit again.......

:lol:

Sorry If I offended you..... Edited.

Flipped If I know....it just did!! Me's not complaining! Must have slipped in on some of my old socks.

Mines about double that in size now!

Just a pic to show you my Little Urchin peeking out for a wee look!

Souns like one dodgy peice of equipment to me. You will need to individually remove each peice completely away from the tank until the current stops. I'd say one thing is leaking current. Probably from what Layton said, seepage into epoxy or similar, Could be anything submerged.

Ive got a small amount, when I remove the bigger ones sometimes they pop. But any new small ones get eaten by my sailfin, she eats 'em!

I can download about 20 MEGS in about 30 Secs to one minute, depending on the site I am downloading from. Can some of you do that faster? if so tell me what plan you are on please.
