    Protien Skimmer bubble level

    I have a Weirpro 2011 venturi skimmer. This is a new set-up, about 3 weeks old, so noting as yet to skim. However, I am unsure of how high the bubbles should be, does this look about right, or should it be higher? IMG_3444 | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

    What is this?

    I have just set up a new tank with live rock and sand. While looking in the tank, I saw the sand moving as if something was burrowing. I moved the sand and found this thing. It has a small hole on the underside?

    A month ago I set plans to start a new reef aquarium, my first. I did lots of research, made sure I had everything I needed and how I should set things up.
