I haven't been getting the normal skimmate out of my skimmer. I'm thinking about replacing the standard re-circulation pump with Varios 6s below.

https://fragtasticreef.com/reef-octo...pump-1720-gph/

I currently have the pump, besides ordering pinwheel is there anything else that i would need to connect to SRO 5000 EXT? Will this upgrade help skimmate production?

Starting up a frag tank tomorrow in the middle section of my sump. Thought it'd be an inexpensive project so I decided to try to farm some new corals.

I ordered an Aqua Illumination Prime HD light. Going to cut out egg crate for different tiers. Posting pictures tomorrow!!

Stay tuned! ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED!

Looking good. That large hammer coral is sweet, one to be proud of for sure.

Anyone know how to fix the above problem of images not showing up? I read about adding "~original" to end of photobucket links but now that's not working either.

Photobucket changed their policies and now does not support embedded images like it used to. If i'm not mistaken you get a certain number of views and then it is no longer visible unless you as the owner has the premium photobucket account. may be worth checking out alternative photo hosting services.
