How does adding a skimmer line outside effect the tank temps? What about when it gets 30-40 degrees outside? Thanks
-
Hey can I put a longer hose that come out of my skimmer n put it outside my window so fresh air comes threw my skimmer?
-
So you dose kalk, and two part?
-
airline tubing outside could be risky,,weed killers around the area being sprayed and lawn fertilizers being use and so on,,I would put a charcoal filter on the end of the airline ,,,Their is NO WAY I would run an airline outside with all the different stuff that is floating around the air from time to time,,,Its just asking for problems..Amagine a neighbor spraying liquid seven to kill off bugs and it getting sucked in to your tube, to your protein skimmer,,,EVERYTHING IN THE TANK WOULD DIE!!

hey, is 7.8 ok for hard corals?
-
Buy ph buffer if low

@Doubtfire95 No, it will not. There is air inside the entire length of the tube, so this will not be an issue.

mrsaltwatertank,
after you mix your solution can you remove the upper part, leaving the sludge, and put it in a seperate container such as an IV bag and use an IV pump to drip into your sump. I have a 240 gallon with a 100 gallon sump, and yes I am a nurse so I was using my medical mind to figure some other way to dose which I think would be safe. Your advice would be appreciated.
thankyou,

@TheDebi1957 sure you could do that. It adds another step that really isn't needed if you just suspend your inlet hose over the sludge. Suspending a hose is much easier than separating out the fluid.
