Adam, That is a Pagoda, which usually takes the form of a cup due to current, this one has an unusual shape due to multi directional water flow while forming....

Thanks AQTCJAC

Just catching up Kim. The tank looks great!

I bought another Remora C skimmer for my tank and it arrived today. ( I like minimal skimming )
I ran a smaller one on my 55 for about 7 months out of a total of 4 yrs that the tank was running. On the up graded 120 I had a recirculated Octopus skimmer that I ran for the first 4 months this tank has been set up for about a year now.
For the life of me, I can't remember if during the break in period the output into the cup is tremendous. I've drawn about 2 gallons of water out of the skimmer in a 2.5 hr. period. Does this sound right?

Thanks Scott

Sounds like you have the skimmer adjusted to skim VERY wet. Turn it down a bit so the water level isn't so high in the skimmer.

althea2you · 04-23-2008, 10:58 PM

wow, very cool looking tank... i think the growth on the back of your tank looks really cool! LOL... very unusual looking... and that Gorg is sooo pretty! in the first full tank shot... what is that top right corner? looks like an anenome... or an elegance...

KimPossible · 04-23-2008, 11:03 PM

Cup is high and I have the injector screw in as far as it will go......

tbittner · 04-23-2008, 11:06 PM

I don't remember the proper adjustment for a Remora, but shouldn't the injector screw be out to let in more air?

althea2you · 04-23-2008, 11:08 PM

the more IN the screw, the less WET of a skim... more air means wetter skim... (not correcting, just stating

)it should settle down.. i would HOPE! lol

Growth on the back of the tank is algae. My clowns love it, but I need to slowly get it out before it takes hold of rock. I think I need to run a fan in back since my sequencer is tank high and puts off a bunch of heat; that combined with snail loss added to this growth.
The coral your talking about is a Torch. It basically has hogged the right side of the tank it is so big, I've got some low coral, but I have to be careful what I put on that side. Thanks for the comments

It's great to see you posting again Kimmy Cat!

Which pump are you using with the Remora? The Rio 1400 or the Mag 3?
