Tell me one thing.. in water change can we use distilled batrie water

Do you have a lot of humidity down there? Seems like that would be a problem especially with all of the plywood on the walls.

I thought you shouldn't use air stones

I somehow had missed this video Ryan. I could not believe you had a 5 gal pail full of skimmate. Man that must give off some nasty smell eh bud. Great vid sir.

My husband has the sump under the aquarium but I love your setup in the basement better, how are you pumping the water from the basement to the main display tank? is that something easy we can do? (120 gal and sump probably another 75) any tips are appreciated, love all your videos

Outstanding setup. I have the same skimmer. Keeps my tank nitrate free.

+FARM BOY REEF I am using a coralife 65g

Bonnie Miller - 9 years ago

you would have to ask +Erica Miller if I have a skimmer on my freshwater.....but I know I dont...so ahhhhh....hehehhehe

Erica Miller - 9 years ago

+FARM BOY REEF My Skimmer is Kinda odd. it was built by a Company Called d@d marine. They were actually here in Kentucky.
There skimmer Design was great but flawed by a Cheap Re-circulation pump and Venturi Valve .So i Modified it From a 800 gph pump to a 1200 gph Mag Drive with a Kent Marine Micro Bubble Venturi . It works VERY Well. Can not imagine anything pulling more from the water.

FARM BOY REEF - 9 years ago

+Erica Miller really like my octopus skimmer get a lot of nice skimmate. What kind of skimmer do you run.

FARM BOY REEF - 9 years ago

What kind of skimmers do you guys run ?
