Tank Layout? with diagram

Saltwater Noob · 04-20-2007, 03:46 PM

Here is how I have my tank setup last nigth I added a rotating powerhead 280 gph to help get more movement in my tank ever since I added it my skimmer stopped skimming. I am wondering if I need to move my skimmer here is a quick sketch of how it is layed out right now.

I don't think it really matters where the skimmer is actually located. I would suggest a good skimmer cleaning to make sure the venturi and everything is clear.

Hi Noob! its quite normal for the skimmer to shut down after your hands have been in the tank, should be back in 15 to 30 minutes. Steve

I learned something new! I didn't know it was because my hands were in there? Is there chemistry to explain it all away? Karma to you.
