I just lowered it in the tank and it kept growing
I had to get Ram3500 (Ian) to come by and take a crap-load of clippings for his auctions just to keep it from attaching itself to the glass as I couldn't even clean the front pane weekly without breaking branches off

Thanks Ian !!

how old is that birds nest and how big was it when you got it?

I bought it at Rich's summer 2012 frag swap
It was a 1 - 2" frag

wow

The larger pump in my skimmer was a letdown
It's too noisy and I believe it's due to the size of the venturi causing a restriction
So for now I'll just live with the skimmate I get with the stock pump

Consider slowing down your return pump this would allow more dwell time in sump for skimmer to pull surfacants out of water

My return is tee'd back to the return chamber and I have just enough flow to keep the Herbie quiet

I'm not unhappy with my current skimmate production but was trying to get more airflow for a dryer nog without losing the amount produced
