I have the Octo 110-S and I turned off the return to do some tank work. I forgot to turn of the skimmer when I turned off the return and the skimmer overflowed. Now that everything else is back on and running, the skimmer isnt turning on.
Is there some troubleshooting to get the pump to start...
Hi All,
I've been a lurker on R2R for a long time and finally built up the courage (and funds) to pull the trigger on a Red Sea Reefer 170. I have had freshwater planted tanks my entire life, but this is my first attempt at a reef aquarium. I am aiming for mixed reef at first, but ultimately...
Making room in my display and buying an in-sump skimmer. So I have no use for it any more. It's rated for up to 75gallons. Pulls some really nasty stuff. A little mishap occurred during cleaning when my youngest decided to get a cup of water and pulled the clear outlet base off the counter. It...
Looking for some insights- Finishing up my 425xl build and currently cycling. Last item to get is the skimmer. Over the years I've used all sorts of skimmers from the HOB's that sounded like hissing freight trains to some solid work horses like my old SWX and Bubble magus. I have the old SWX...

Carlos spent a lot of time with me the last few days narrowing down the issue with my Regal 300 ext. It turns out it was because I put an elbow on the gate valve and the air was having trouble escaping. If anyone is troubleshooting performance, you need to vent where the water is piped back into...
This is the story of our journey of the second large saltwater tank we built. During the series I’ll add bits about the things we learned from the first build, that have helped us so far.
We started a 90 gal mixed reef tank 2 years ago, learned a lot from the journey, a lot that we wish we...
