    Well noone can be out of this hobby for too long without wanting to watch a mantis destroy a snail or a clownfish bob in an anemone and I am no different. So for the summer while I am taking a chemistry class, I will be building and cycling and then stocking two tanks.

  5. Sedra pump doesnt start

    The sedra pump on the ASM G3 skimmer is not starting. I removed the skimmer to clean. When I put it back first it ran fine. I stopped to adjust the skimmer placement. I am starting it again it is not starting at all. Any ideas?
