    I'd like to upgrade my Octopus NW200 with new pump

    Hi! I would like to replace my Octopus 3000. It needs a new needle wheel impeller, and some o-rings. I've been unhappy with the amount of skimmate with the NW200 since purchase, so I'm thinking I should just scrap the pump and step it up with a better pump. I've done the mods, and have not...

    IO salt question

    Do the packages have complete data on them? Like a regular package does? It's possible that the salt didn't make the grade, but is satisfactory for stores to use. Close dated expiration date, etc.

    Anti-Jump Proof

    Hi! I put eggcrate over the tank. It has reduced the light. I also HATE having to remove and then replace the screen each time I feed or mess with the tank. At 5'2", I can barely see over the top of the tank, on my tippy toes to replace the screen. Hmm. Maybe I'll use your idea Doni!

    The throat is higher then the base of the "cup" so skimmate collects below the throat, and then exits the cup through the tube.

    here i go again... protein skimmer time!

    I'd keep an eye on the nitrates. But, I think you'll see an increase in the skimmate. Can you make it a bit wetter again? When I set mine up, I got loads of dark skimmate for a week or so. My nitrates were at 8 ppm. After a week or so, the skimmate really cut back, and now my nitrates...

    OT: Need you to revise this for me...

    Re: Need you to revise this for me... I've been married for 22 years. Happily. Very happily. My hubby was cheated on in a previous relationship, and insecurity sometimes comes up with him. It aggravates me, but at least I understand his position. He can't completely forget the far past, and I...

    Major Flood/Returjn pump problems

    I had an overflow with a siphon wall, not a tube. Avoid it. It built up bubbles every day and had to be purged. I was always afraid of a flood. The J shaped tubes are more trustworthy.
