they both died on the same day? If so, it might be more than just old age....I would look into it a bit more.

I have a dry sense of humor....no pun intended.

so, you're saying "food" for thought in another venue? Fair enough.

Do you think it tastes similar to squid (calamari)?

just got the pm - thanks

and.....any chance of there being more?

What's that guy go for? And any chance there will be more (I'm assuming he is spoken for)?

Old doesn't necessarily mean outdated.....the simple counter-current air stone skimmers are some of the most efficient and effective out there. And for around $100 bucks.....who can beat that? Unless your tank is in some kinda fashion contest!

I am looking at air pumps for my DYI skimmer. The pump needs to produce air from a wood diffuser up to 5' deep. I think the Coralife SL-65 will work, but I cannot find any reviews. What do you guys think? Or, are there any other pump suggestions? Thanks

Finally, a place for all of us fish-heads to hang out with out being shamed for our fascination with vertebrates (albeit lower vertebrates)! Or.....at the least a place to call home? Thanks for the forum guys, and keep up the good work!

I used the calculations to find what the maximum height of the water could be in the sump, then I made it 1 inch lower just to be safe. The flow going through the sump/fuge set-up is not very easy to picture or logically describe. It is easiest to see in action, then its a kinda 'well-duh'...

remember to lift that last baffle on the right, up off the bottom as X said.....

I will try to get there, I have to be at the catfish 1 session on Sunday (until 4:45 (something about a presentation I am giving at 4:30), but I will try to drop by...especially if it is on Monday.
