    skimmer for small 6 X 9 sump area

    I only have an area of 6 x 9 in my sump for a skimmer for my 72 gallon bowfront. I've looked at several but was leaning toward the Eshopps economy s-120 or the SWC 120. Those are a couple of the few that will fit in this tight spot of my Pro Clear 150 pro sump where the POS built in skimmer...

    Skimmer help

    I have a 72 gallon tank with a wet dry with built in skimmer. I just bought it used and it's about 5 years old. The skimmer is a piece of junk. I need an inexpensive upgrade. Any suggestions? A MARSH member offered me a Super Skimmer 125 with no pump. Is this a good option? Can I use my non...

    Whats this thing??

    I bought this tank already established and I'm trying to identify some things. Is this the brown anemone I read is undesirable? It's about 1.5 inches tall and made its way to the top of the rocks after the move. I think the other is a torch or a hammer. Thanks

    Pump is heating water

    I purchased a used complete set up that is running a Pro Clear 150 skimmer/wet dry. (Oceanic 105) I have had it running for about 5 days and the water temp has been around 82. It has a Pondmaster Mag 12 pump which I swaped with an old Cap 2200 pump I had. Last night the temp went down to 79...
