Are you using any actinic pc's? Macro algae does'nt care for actinic lighting IME. I use a 2 X 65 wt PC fixture on my fuge, but changed the bulbs out for 6500 K daylights. HTH

 

[markandkristen]

thanks will do it came with actinic so i will probably change out pretty soon

What's the height on that Euro? Looks low which is exactly what I need.

I would like to do the gate valve mod on my ER. Did yours come that way or did you do it yourself? I was curious what size pipes are used for this...although I guess I could just measure them.

 

[markandkristen]

had to do it myself (premium aquatics) the height is 30" tall it just looks short because the stand is 36" tall .

 

[markandkristen]

waterfaller are you talking about the diameter or the length of pipes. i bought the kit its a little more but i wanted it to match the rest of the skimmer
