OK good to know, thanks. I guess they can't all be pageant winners! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Heya all. Picked up a healthy-looking H.Magnifica a couple of weeks back and wondering if the foot changes color at all? Pretty green tips but the foot is a drab tan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks like fun. Aiming to be there also.

Yup, bought that one last week on your reco, thanks! It's just right.

Thanks - the skimmer continues to perform beautifully. Pleasure to work with so far though now I've gotta upgrade my skimmate export process. Draining into a bucket is unpleasant at best. Is there a spec on the drain hose or recommended type to use for extending the drain? Build thread <--...

Six line should make quick work of these buggers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll bring some chaeto along as long as you don't mind some flatworm hitchhikers (the harmless variety - but if you don't have a wrasse they could become a nuisance in your display - my leopard makes short work of these).

250 External setup help Yup. I hear ya on check valves. I adjusted dump volume and tested the power out situation. Looks good. This thing is a beast!

Sweet - thanks for the tips, slief! I'm still in test mode and need to make sure it won't flood the sump during power failure. Towards that end, I think I'm going to install a check valve in line. I haven't used those anywhere in my setup yet. Any issues with check valves and a skimmer like...

Hello. I'm working on setting up a BK250 external skimmer and have a few questions on setup. Before I get started with those, I suppose I should ask whether or not this is appropriately sized for my reef. 250 gallons total volume mixed reef (mostly SPS) Reeflo Hammerhead return w/manifold ->...

Count me in also. Thanks for offering up to host, Skip! Happy Birthday!!

Good day, everyone. Hope you're all having an excellent 2018 thus far and your reefs are behaving well! We've had quite the dearth of club meetings in recent times and I'd like to get a sense of potential meeting venues over the next couple of months. Towards this end, please PM me with the...

Ah, there we go. I thought I recall you doing something like this. Thanks for the refresher! I'll try tonight. So, you're talking about taking over the "vent" line (usually red tube)? Did you just cap the original 2nd chamber input line? Also, am I guessing correctly that there weren't any...

Hello all. I've been running a dual chamber MTC Procal reactor for about a month. PH on the effluent line has been stable for a few weeks and got Alk dialed in for about 2 weeks. Early this morning reactor pH spiked to 7 then went down to 6.67 (shutoff point for the Apex). When I came down to...

Hello all. Been lurking for a long time - thanks for all the contributions along the way to this thread. I'm getting going on my CaRX after a year or so gathering dust beneath my work space. Reactor: MTC Procal Masterflex: 7550-30 | 40mL/min CO2: aquariumplants.com bubble counter | 12psi at 4...
