It's just something I've learned from being in the hobby for several years. You will too...

I guess small bits of live rock won't make or break the ocean. But, I will support the live rock trade sadly. Maybe I will get some..

I understand your concerns. Thing is, some companies aquaculture live rock... this website even has a paragraph about "eco-sensitive live rock": http://tbsaltwater.com/

I haven't ordered from them before; just wanted to possibly ease your mind about purchasing LR...

Walt Smith cultures his own LR. http://waltsmith.com/

How's the skimmer? Did you get it to fit right?

Aquarist · Post by **Aquarist** » Wed Jan 26, 2011 5:16 pm

Not really fit right, but it is pumping water. Powerhead filter, all of it seems to be working OK. Only issue is there is nothing in the cup/basket at all?

Post by **Pufferpunk** » Wed Jan 26, 2011 5:29 pm

Make sure the foot of the cup is about 1/8" into the water. What's your SG now?

Aquarist · Post by **Aquarist** » Wed Jan 26, 2011 5:35 pm

The plastic foot is totally submerged. And the actual cup is 1/8/1/4 of an inch covered. SG is 1.021-1.022

Post by **Pufferpunk** » Wed Jan 26, 2011 6:00 pm

Only the bottom of the foot should be submerged. Are there a million bubbles in the chamber under the foot?

Aquarist · Post by **Aquarist** » Wed Jan 26, 2011 6:25 pm

My mother adjusted the air valve thing, and there are bubbles now. There wasn't any before she did that, though. There are lots of them.

Post by **Pufferpunk** » Wed Jan 26, 2011 6:31 pm

Yep, you need lots-o-bubbles to skim.

Aquarist · Post by **Aquarist** » Wed Jan 26, 2011 7:22 pm

I still see no waste, though.

Takes time to break in. Are bubbles going up the neck of the cup yet?
