Thanx tigerarmy that does help. Do you think 70 watt will be intense enogh for sps.
Surface skimming would be when the standpipe is at the very surface and water is drained at the same speed it is returned so the water level won't change unless a valve is closed or something.
If the standpipe doesn't reach the surface as in my case u would have to control the amount of water drained precisly to match the return so that the level in the tank doesn't rise or lower.
Hope this helps. Here are some pics of my system running both ways.
Here the water is above the standpipe and the drain is controlled by a ball valve. I like the look of it the best b/c the water surface isn't right on the rocks.
Here it is surface skimming. You can see the water level is right at the top of the standpipe.
Hope this helped you understand a little better, I sort of suck at explaining stuff....

TAnk update w/ PIcs
TAnk update w/ PIcs
My ASM skimmer came in 2day and when i started it up I was getting a bunch of micro bubbles. So I took the sump out to clean it, the pumps and put in a baffle.
I also made a few mods on the skimmer that i read about. First I took out the 90 degree elbo that connects the pump to the chamber and connected the pump directly to the chamber. Second I put an air diffuser on the air intake. I read this makes the bubbles smaller and does somethin to make more skimmate........ anyone heard of doing this. Here are some pics of the skimmer.
ASM mini w/ pump mod
air intake diffuser mod
I also added my arabian dottyback after everything was back in place.
Things I still need are-
-70 watt MH
-heater which I am running in a quarintine tank right now...
-A kalk reactor connected to an RO reservor for toping off
-Or Ill drip kalk ^^^
-SNAILS
-some kind of power strip for organization
-fans
Can someone give me an explanation of how I can hook up DIY kalkreactor w/ a Ro reservor so that im not constantly refilling it. Or is this possible? and would it make the kalk less potent?...!??..
Thanx for all and any help you give! If You think of anything Iv'e forgotten let me know.
