so like an idiot i decided to use tap water with wal-mart style conditioner not even checking to see if it has fricken slime stuff added to it and of course my skimmer is hay-wire...so how long before the stuff wears out or just a water change or two and it will be good to go?
 
I agree with Grins.. Where you been dude..!!!!

Actually I added Melafix and Pimafix to my system because of fin issue with my tang and another fish in hopes that nothing got infected and my skimmer went nuts. (Tang chewed other fishes tail)

I was pulling a full skimmer cup almost every 5 minutes to start. It took 2 25% water changes and a full day of watching the skimmer to get it under control. Won't make that mistake again.
 
its fine, just the metal clip or w/e that held it to the sink wasnt effectively holding it up and ive been lazy and didnt feel like running to lowes but i got it now so its good and im making more as i type this but cant really run the skimmer...

but yes nice to talk to u too grins, i know its been a while well with work and everything going on ive been neglecting my tank and this site...but i wanna try and get back into it....

just to give u and everyone a quick update on the tank..pretty much its bad....um i got a bunch of hair algea and the occasional bubble algea but thats pretty rare umm i got nemo and the yellow tail corris still going...i just lost my fricken lawnmower blenny and a turbo to a powerhead one right after the other (1 day then the next lol) and um i thought my royal gramma died (actually he disappered so long i forgot he was there...how did i forget well i was looking online at new fish to get and i saw a royal gramma and im like man i really want one ....then im like wait a fricken minute...checked my records...yup i have one hahahah) then a few days later he popped out of this little hole in the rock and i havent seen him since so i guess hes hiding...um tonight i just purchased a 22 FRICKEN dollar (expensive crap) bottle of phos-buster to help get rid of this hair algae and i tried to find something to remove silica but petsmart had nothing so idk what to do about that (i dont have any test kits for phosphate or silica i just know i have both) um other then that tank i alright, i cant keep corals for crap they always seem to die...i had one colt growing great but the hair algae took over while i was away on vacation and my buddy was watching my tank (bad idea) but neway thats how things are and i plan to be back and more active on the site ....oh one last thing and i know most of you will love this (not really) i traded in a remora pro for a seaclone 100 HAHA and u knwo what ive never been happier!!!:headbang2:
 
i was looking online at new fish to get and i saw a royal gramma and im like man i really want one ....then im like wait a fricken minute...checked my records...yup i have one

lol, you nut! Sorry about the losses. Glad you're happy about the change in skimmers but whatever made you go from a Remora Pro to a Seaclone?!
 
haha to be honest with u, i just got so frustrated fine tuning... i and a guy from my reef club both tried and it either didnt skim at all or it skimmed way to much so i sold it ( for more then i paid:lipssealedsmilie:..i got it used) and got the seaclone for free and it runs great...skimmed all kinds of nasty stuff the first night and pulls out stuff that shouldnt be in nature and i love it :drool:
 
Sure you miss Grins but not me..
 
of course i missed u too...she was just the first to respond so i said i missed her ...srry:wall:
