Sam...im looking into upgrading my urchin pro to a ASMG2....does that skimmer put out microbubbles? my skimmer area is 12.5" x 11.5..will it fit ok?
 
Hmm hard to say. I believe the pump was turn upside down to make it into a recirculating skimmer. I still havent seen it operate in SW. But all bubbles pop on way down because there is a sponge on the output tupe sort of like on the EuroReef Skimmers. ASM = Euro Copies

12 inch sump wall, youll have a 1.5 to spare.;)

On that Skimmer. It comes with Sedra5000 instead of the ordinary 2500 pump. The output tube is also different but Im turning it around. The T fitting will go where the 90 is at, and the 90 where the T is at. All modifications were made by (tjh -Rc Member) Thanks.

Im trying to modd my Jebo 180 skimmer into something usefull so I dont have to go out and spend more money.

No leaks! No I need to find a way to get it under the stand. Aso for the microbubble popper I am going to use 1/8 acrylic that I had lying around and cut them so that they fit tightly, they will not be siliconed.

Just finished the last coat of paint. Tank will hopefully come in soon!
 
Im on it, Im on it Gabriel! Hey did the purple up work on your tank? Just wondering might start adding that stuff once my tank is running......



Ive been recieving many PM's on how the mod is on the ASMG2, here is a step by step for anyone willing to give it a try. My skimmer has all 3 mods since I went with a stronger than usual pump.

Good Luck

its everywhere..

hey it a day off of school. i would take it if i was still in school...

Guys I just found out that the front panel of my tank is starphire. How sweet is that. I dont know but you can physicaly tell a difference.

3 regular glass panels feels kinda rough and its clear kinda glass.

The front panel is soft and green/blue on the seems and you can see through the whole tank from one end to another.

Im sure the front panel is not the same, me and my Dad where debating on why its like that?

the seam on the starfire will look blue....

Yea I have no lights its just daylight from my window. Maybe it looks blue/green because its seemed together with regular panels I dont know. I need to get some pics up ASAP but my damn camera SUX!

I managed to move the stand and tank rolling it on some PVC.

I will be going to HD today to get a few last minute things and I should have water pumping through the system before the weekend....I think I might use tapwater then condition it with some stuff I bought and run lots of carbon for a couple days.
