Mekaeel · 23 Jul 2007

crew,is my water level set correctly judging by the pics and is it foaming well?

Alan · 24 Jul 2007

Looks fine mekaeel, esp if that is what you are pulling out in 2 days.

Does the gurgling noise from your overflow not drive you insane ?

very nice mekaeel. i also really like the aquascaping.

SIMS · 24 Jul 2007

Does your skimmer pump make a noise? Mine is driving me nuts (it's not the wood this time :lol:

) if I turn it off and then on again it goes away for a bit....

nope no noise at all.is it your impellor sims?

SIMS · 24 Jul 2007

Yip think so - you should hear the thing when it starts up - sounds like a tractor - thinking of changing the pump for an OR3500?

Mekaeel · 24 Jul 2007

mmmhh,im sure you'll get nice performance outa it.which skimmer you got sims?same as mines?

SIMS · 24 Jul 2007

yip same as yours....

Mekaeel · 24 Jul 2007

wonder whats the cause of yours making the noise????

SIMS · 24 Jul 2007

I don't know - but it still skims like it should so maybe I should just get ear plugs... I can hear in in the fish room when the door is closed and I'm in the lounge 10m away - my poor dogs sleep next to the fish room and have to listen to the noise all night long....

Mekaeel · 24 Jul 2007

weired.have you tried removing the impellor and making sure all is sitting in its corect places?

SIMS · 24 Jul 2007

yip - think i'll try what copper did - hay copper what did you do again?
