Re: Fastlight's 75gallon first saltwater tank
Okay i havent gotten my ro di unit but ive been dieing to get the skimmer going to see her in action. Well after getting frustrated with it ccapt gave me some help and i got her going. I had to blow into the air line and she started making bubbles like mad! Now if you look over here..
http://www.livingreefs.com/forums/re...e-bubbles.html Im wondering why the bubbles dont go into the collection cup so any help would be great! But i love pics and maybe this can help Sump front shot  skimmer riser tube all the way down  top sump shot  skimmer riser tube up just enough to bring bubbles into the black cone  note the bubble location and tell me what i should do. note skimmer in 8.5 in of water

Re: Fastlight's 75gallon first saltwater tank
Looks like it was put together upside down. The black cone should be pointing up ^. and the tube part from the cup inside the cone.

Re: Fastlight's 75gallon first saltwater tank
Listen to Capt.
 Are you gonna have enough room to get the cup off after the tanks set? Looks like its gonna be tight to me.

Re: Fastlight's 75gallon first saltwater tank
Well water is in! Salt is in! I havent check the specific gravity yet. B4 i added salt i had both drains just barely cracked shut and the pump worked great everything was in unison and levels stayed well. Then I added the salt and the drains were draining faster than the pump. So now i cracked em half way closed and it stayed good for about 15 min. Now the drains are slowly winning again. I have the foam around the intake that came with my mag 9.5 on should i take it off? Does salt have something to do with why my pump keeps slowly loosing? Any suggestions? Other than everything is running great and i have found no leaks!

Re: Fastlight's 75gallon first saltwater tank
The drains should only be running what the pumps returning.Unless maybe your getting air in the drain pipes.
Do you have a breather hole in the top of the drain line?
