180G Office Reef Tank

[JDigital]

Well Dave made my life easy today..

Took the WB7000 back to him.. and downgraded for the 5000. I really think the 7K was too much for this system... I know fishytime is running the 7K on his 260G (+100G sump).. My overflows were getting a ton of bubbles from the flow crashing over...

So I took the WB5000 and a Sedra something-er-rather that I need to feed my skimmer and called it a day.

The 5000 works MUCH better IMO, it's quiet, and the overflows aren't filled with as many bubbles.

The Sedra on the other hand seems to be too much pump for this Skimz 202... It calls for a 500gph feed pump, which the sedra maxes out at, but I am getting MASSIVE amounts of micro-bubbles throughout the sump and returning up to the Display.. So I picked up some plumbing supplies tonight including a ball valve so I can control the flow and dial in the skimmer.


I can't wait to get this thing running smoothly so I can finally work an 8am-430pm shift, instead of the current 8am-8pm..
