i can bring it to my office in flushing this saturday. lmk.

Thank you for the offer Tom! You are a dear.:hug: I am waiting on someone selling a skimmer as I type. If it falls through I just might have to take you up on the loaner.

Still have not heard back from the manufacturer of the Sedra Pumps. It is now a full 24 hours since I left message on their voice mail. Not very good customer service at all......

Sweet looking tank!

I did hear back from the Sedra pump manufacturer. I'm suppose to send it back to them for a fix or replacement.

Got home from 39th. Anniversary Lunch, and found my present sitting on my porch!

New Eshopps PSK-200 GEN II Protein Skimmer! Soaking in a 20 gallon bin with a cup of white vinegar. Look at all the bubbles.

The new Eshopps PSK 200 skimmer update along with a couple of pix, and a couple coral pix under Wingo's Blue LEDs.

Why did you leave the skimmer in a 20g with vinegar? Was the skimmer used or new and you were breaking the skimmer in?

Angelo skimmers have oils and stuff in them so u soak it in vinegar so that it cleans it off. Why did u think? She was making a soup? Lol

I see Rob already answered the question. But yes it is a brand new skimmer so I needed to remove any oils, and what ever other stuff may have been in it.

Yes it is, especially for a fairly new skimmer which I finally got it dialed in properly Tuesday night. You bet!! I like it even more then my old Turboflotor 1000 Multi which I loved...

Vinegar soup hmmm LOL

Yup, Vinegar soup for diner.lol

Thanks for the kind words Doug. You've been missed too.:hug:

I also put my brain to work, and built me a small closet with shelves to hide all my reefing supplies that were sitting on top of an old night stand. Cabinet is 16" X 18" X 58". It is a cheapie cabinet, but since all the stuff I needed to hide is all light weight it worked. What I am most proud of is the fact that I made it with barely any tools. All I have is a circular saw, and a failing drill.
Cabinet is that tall black box next to the tank.

Very sorry to hear of your loss Awilda. I also lost most of the fish and several colonies :-(. They say things happen for a reason, so lets try to look at this situation and make the best of it. Good luck with everything and I still have some coral I can give you whenever you decide to come back. Lmk
