Thanks! I need a beer! Yeah, I'm scared to unplug it now! My luck, the power will go out tomorrow. I put a sponge over the output to lessen the flow and hopefully save me some evaporation. It doesn't look good, but it works. The skimmate is already looking yellowish (so I'm not worried...

Both clear lines attach to the pump the same way. One just goes to the blue line and 1 to the silencer. I finally got it working today after plugging/unplugging it for awhile. I found out that if I push my overflow down a bit, it siphons better and water covers the pump, but I'm getting huge...

Interesting shaped tank! It looks great. I've always like column sw tanks.

Nice tank! I want to evict my fw shell dwellers out of my 29g and make it a reef. :) Love the Clown!

Beautiful tank! I've always wanted a rimless tank.

Nice tank! You have some impressive plumbing as well. :)

Thanks for making this thread. I'm also interested to know what people are feeding and what feeding schedules they use. I currently only have 2 Percs, but they aren't eating well after 4 days. :(

Hi, I'm new to the site. I found this site after doing a search on my skimmer, which I'm having issues with. I have a 38g reef that was started a few weeks ago. It cycled in a week with 2 raw shrimp. I have about 75% base rock and 25% live rock. Lighting is 6x39w Nova Extreme Pro fixture. Its...

My blue tube sticks down into where the valve should go and then goes from there into a clear tube. I have 2 clear tubes sticking out of the pump. The other goes to the silencer. I'm at work now, or I'd take a picture. I will tonight and post it.

Thanks for the help, beano. I did not receive a valve with my skimmer, so i'm having trouble getting the siphon to start. I did more reading online and other people that did not get a valve were able to start the siphon by sucking on the airline, though it took 20-30 mouthfuls of water to do so...

I know this post is about 5 days old (well the last reply), but I'm having the same issues with my BH100F in that I did not get a valve and I can't get the siphon started on the skimmer. Did you end up using a valve like in the link from Drs Foster and Smith? If so, did you put that on the...
