how do you find your skimmer?

mines a heap of shit so I just brought a deltec mc500 to replace it,slides right in the back like it was made for it,Wtih abit of persuasion :lol:

I'd have to agree - the skimmer is total pants. So an MC500 fits right in? Did you need to do any mods?

Just have to get rid of the glass shims tht hold the stock skimmer in.

My mc500 just turned up today from hutt pets, joeblog has done it and im going to be doing mine tonight,without the glass shims that hold the stock piece of shit in they fit perfectly in there like they where made for it.

I think itl b worth every cent plus more

from what ive heard the deltec pulls out more in one day than the RSM skimmer ever did,which wouldnt be much

Yep, the stock one certainly is crap, but I'm a bit reluctant to start bashing away at the glass shims hammer and chisel style like JoeBlog did. How are you going to remove yours?

Im going to run a blade inbetween the shim and back glass down to a certain point and then snap it off,as you can leave a bit down the bottom as it needs to sit up abit

So I ran the blade down inbetwen the glass and the shim and get abou 2 thirds of the way down and think man this is so easy its taken me all of a minute! then the shim breaks same place on both sides now im stucks with a third maybe abit more of the shims going to have to slowly get those out somehow,dont think i have the balls to use a chisel and hammer YET but we will see :lol:

i think if i had the chance to do it again i could maybe get them off in one piece :-?

Yea, I had a look at them and it seemed like it had the potential to go badly wrong - or be rediculously easy :lol:

are you going to get one conch

Not for a while - time to do a bit of upkeep on the house etc, so I'll just be doing lots of waterchanges instead

well you do have time off now to do all that

UPDATES!!!

Yea, yea. Why don't you just come around and have a look? It looks much more interesting in real life

lol i might have to if you dont put some pics up soon

It isn't too much different really - some things have grown a bit, but I haven't done much to it lately. It survived my holiday OK - It seems to have found some sort of equilibrium, so I'm just going to let it be for now - unless I can get hold of something particularly cool, that is...

organism should have some more corals in this week

NOOOOO, my poor visa still hasn't recovered from last time

you dont have to getsomething right away but i may of gotten some of the good stuff :lol:
