siskiou Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I'd love to come by and take a look. Can't help with the skimmer much, since I don't know the model, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsoz Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I would, but Eugene is a long drive from Oregon City. I will need to pass this time. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uhuru Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I have a DAS EX1, I'd come help but I have midterms all next week. That's a plug and play skimmer though. Just set the water level so it's right below the twist lock connection when the aquabee is off. Then turn the aquabee on and adjust the air control valve to get the bubble level you like. Once it breaks in you will probably be able to run it wide open. It's an awesome skimmer for the price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(naughty) I'll call tomorrow. Have been busy lugging the cube tank/stand into a temporary location today, and now am working on water changes for the 120G and the 20G. What's your schedule like tomorrow? I have Monday off, so any time is fine for me... -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstoneburg Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 Im taking the family paintballin tmrw around five. So anytime before then as I have the day off also! The das-x1 while I do have it setup, its not skimming how I want. Ive had it about 3 weeks so I think it is broken in. Its almost run wide open and the air valve is full open. The overflow runs into the skimmer and then drops to the refug. Its skimming very wet. The water it is skimming is not dark at all. Maybe we can setup a time after your midterms for you to check it out uhuru.. Also susanne, I have about 20lbs of LR sitting in my sump that I would like to get rid of. If your interested its yours for free! Has some coraline growth on it. There are also two very large seashells that ive had in the tank for about two years. Brought them back from the bahamas. They are amazing and have coraline on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(clap) I just got done setting up the LR with a pump and heater in a bucket, so it stays live until my cube is ready for it! The little skimmer is soaking in vinegar and once it's clean I'll try it out on the live rock bucket. Let me know if you need a few frags to test those lights with!
