steve if you look more closely it's not a submersible heater so actually the heating element is under water.....

 

[ycnibrc]

BTW since you are so busy lurking at other people thread I have other's helping me with the skimmer installation....

 

[jnarowe]

Anyone see a similarity between the H & S and the Reeflo?

Isn't that the ebo jagger? hmmm, i must be crazy. Cuz all 3 of my ebo Jagger 250w are completely submerse.

I would have taking my time to come over and help you plumb the skimmer but i think it is best for you to be on your own since i am not going to be around forever .

Yes i do see the similarity between the H&S and the Reeflo. Both are fulled of bubble

 

[jnarowe]

yeah well that's true. I hate the lid on the H & S though. I have never been able to fully understand that kind of design. I have the same thing on my octo, and it just doesn't make sense to me to have the lid so close to the top of the neck putting downward pressure on the foam head.

 

[Jar*Head]

Isn't that the same with other protein skimmer?

 

[jnarowe]

no. not all. many though. I just don't like the design. I know there is a theory behind it, but I prefer to allow the foam to fall off without being pressed on. I actually cut my riser at an angle so the foam will spill over the edge more easily.

hey anthony your tank setup was awesome man, its was even better in person when i came to your house, do you think you can give me a hand with my first reef setup of 144gallons half circle tank?

 

[Jar*Head]

Derick, no worry man. Anthony is the man with a very BIG heart. He is more than happy to help you out and show you a few trick. Anthony is very knowledgeable man in reefing as long as you don't ask him about plumbing lol

 

[ycnibrc]

haha....that is so right...Derick I can help you with how to keep your corals alive but plumbing I'm not too good at that.

 

[derick2724]

haha no worries i just need tips for water chemistry on wat to do and wat not to do so i won't crash my tank

 

[ycnibrc]
