1000mg? Wow that's smoking. Yeah I would never use it without a controller. I'll check into that unit. I am not ready for it but I will be by Summer I am sure.
My skimmer is doing great. I totally clouded up the water trying to vacuum today and then an hour later it was totally clear again. But when I add more livestock, I will need more than just the skimmer.

Bill- Sorry for taking so long to answer your question- The sand is nothing but Fine aragonite. Spazz said he gave you my number- feel free to give me a call and we can shoot the shat. I believe I have something your looking for. Awesome work on the skimmer- Definately top notch hands down. Between you and Spazz I think we have our next "Miracle" skimmer by far. Requests for those things will be off the charts.

hey bill this should arrive at your door some time tonight with me in tow. ha ha ha i will have the camera all charged up for this trip down. i wont be able to stay long i have to be in michigan tomorrow.
this one should hold up that huge cup assembly you have. i put a 1/4" oring grove in this one. but i was not sure if you were using 14" wall tube or 1/8 wall tube for the riser. so its a little thin in that area. but it will work either way.

i think this will be the largest diy skimmer ever built in the world. i cant think of another one i have see that is bigger in total gallons or tube size. ha ha ha i will get some pics standing next to if for compairson. i just dont think you guys understand how big this thing is. it should stand around 6 feet tall and weigh around 300 lbs empty. when it comes time to get energys skimmer built like that one i think we will have to rearange the fish room to accomidate the skimmer. or may be he will just have to add on to that fish room. humm i like that idea. ha ha ha

Those do look like RK to me as well. When I went to the Atlanta Aquarium, they still hadnt started the behind the scenes tours...looks like I have a trip to go on...
I wouldnt doubt that they are RK. The Atlanta Aquarium gave em the overall impression of just having visited a 'Petco' or 'Petsmart'. Everything was very 'slapped together' without the thoughts of what was best for the fish. The Atlanta Aquarium is a commercial venture, not a research aquarium like so many others (Monterrey, Baltimore, Shedd, etc.) that are doing propigation and research...not just show.
