nice idea! let us know how they work out!

Wow, sorry i missed this thread for so long Gina. The tank is looking awesome!
Im curious about how you plumbed the skimmer up and was wondering if you could get another shot of that for me. Im trying to figure a better way to plumb mine and i like the large pvc you have.
Great find on th trays btw

As requested, here are a few more pics of how we have our skimmer plumbed. We actually got this idea from this thread. Check post # 19.

?? about asm skimmer

Here are the pics of ours....

Looks great Gina!

Cheers!

I love the ASM Skimmers.. Nice Sump and plumbing...
Did you use the ice cube trays, yet?

Witfull · 05-01-2006, 11:53 PM

check your drinks when we have a party at Gina's place~ who ordered the Vodka and mysis?

Gina · 05-02-2006, 06:47 AM

Now, would I do that to my friends?

I think Fuzzy Navels or Screwdrivers with fresh squeezed orange juice. That way the pulp would mix in nicely with the mysis! LOL

Gina · 05-03-2006, 06:39 PM

Ok, we froze some brine in the cube tray to see how it would work out and it worked well.
The first pic is of the food in the tray, second is after I broke them out and third is of them in a food saver vacumm sealing bag ready to go in the freezer.
I think we'll be using this next time we make homemade mush.

billyr98 · 05-03-2006, 07:11 PM

That is so cool... any tips for freezing live brine to go with the pictures?

Gina · 05-03-2006, 07:17 PM

Hmmm...haven't tried live brine. Don't know why it wouldn't work though. Just pour in the trays and freeze.
I would probably drain them from the water they come in and put them in the RO/DI water first.

Very cool Gina ! The last time I made some fish mush ended up being a big square...lol

Craig Manoukian · 05-03-2006, 10:19 PM

Did you taste test Gina?

blue_eyes53813 · 05-03-2006, 10:26 PM

I did that with my last big chunk of frozen brine,,, well by accident.. lol I accidentally left it out of the freezer so it thawed(of course) and I than put it in ice cube trays and it wasnt a bad mistake after all. I think I will do that more often..
