Thanks everyone here for the very warm welcome. I am glad to be part of PNWMAS and I will see everyone in near meeting. BTW: If my writing is very bad (I know I do make mistake in spelling and gramma and I am still learning) please forgive me because english is my second languages. I can speak and listen clear but not too good with writing.

switch out the powerhead on the skimmer for a maxijet 600 or 900 and mesh mod it. you will like what it does. I have the ssame skimmer. other option is to run an airstone down the chamber thru the collectioncup holes and hook it up to an airpump. that will give you better results as well. welcome to the forums!

Mister crabs, I think my ps75 is powerfull enought for my tank already. Its doing a very fine job. Are you talking about the skilter 250? If yes then I took it out off my tank already. I didn't like that the skilter 250 at all.

 

Good move on removing the damsel. They are territorial fish, and each one needs a lot of room. You may want to remove the yellow-tail also, because as it gets bigger, it will do the same.

I would love to take out to yellow tail, but nobody want him DOH! I dont want to spear it either. (threaten) I guess I just stuck with him (sad) I want to get a pair of clown fish but not till someone take the yellow tail out my hand.

Attachment are some picture I just took around 2:30PM, I guess too much sun from the background killed my camera light. It make my tank looks like having algae but it's not. I will try to take some more pics with light later.

JManrow,

I would like to participate in our regular monthly meetings too. Can't send PM to you know because I have to wait for mods admin to allow me to to send PM. So if there anything coming up please let me know. You can email me at benny503@gmail.com.

Please let me know too so I can attend even though I live in Portland but I dont mind driving out there to meet up with all the PNWMAS. (rock2)

My name is Benny and I live in Portland, Oregon. I am new to this hobby and forum, I did a search on google then found PNWMAS. I registered to become a member this website last week, while waiting for the the mods and admins to approved my account, I did do a lot of reading from this site and I feel that I just found my second home. I missed the last month meeting, but I will look forward to the next meeting and participate in all the PNWMAS events.

I am currently having 4 fish tanks, 3 fresh waters and 1 reef (1st tank I kept all the wild caught fishes which like catfish (lots of cat fishes), small mouth bass, anything that I caught from the Williamete River. 2nd tank I have 5 firemouth cichlids, 3rd tank I have 4 blood parrots. My 4th tank is currently new, it is a saltwater fish tank that I got it from CL a month ago. This tank had setup more then 6 months with the previous owner. When I got this tank it was load with lava and tufa rocks, two fishes, 1 is yellowtail damsey and 1 three dots damsey and few couple polyps, it also came with skilter 250 filter/skimmer. The members from other website recommended that I should get a skimmer and live rocks, which I did. I bought a PS-75 Protein Skimmer and over 35 lbs of live rocks. I removed the 3 dots damsey fish out and gave it away to a good home due to that fish kept on attacking my yellowtail damsey.

I am very happy that I found this website. There are lots of interesting informations and knowledges people in here that I love to gain from. Thank you all and I am looking forward to meet you all in person.
