Hey fellas and gals, it's been a while.... There doesn't seem to be much of a choice these days for the 250 HQI DE bulbs (not that there was much 20 years ago) I see the Phoenix 14k and the Hamilton 20k. I'd like something a little bluer then the Phoenix. I've never used the Hamilton but I've...

Hey fellas, happy weekend. I'm looking for a 25-45 gal sump. I really don't care about baffles or other dividers. Acrylic is a must have. I'm going to use it as a add on refugium. I have a Bubble Magus Curve 5 skimmer to trade or cash. Let me know what you have

It was so much nicer when they had this in Rancho Cucamonga :)

I've had nothing but problems with that salt. I'm done with it. Are you just doing water changes to replenish your alk and ca?

Got to love a good MH bulb. I ran 3x400 watt bulbs and 4x55 watt PC on the 150 gal tank in my Avitar. Those 400 watt Radium bulbs are the best bulbs I have ever used.

Well done sir I really like the dimension

I'm using the pro-reef. Is the 590a in your screen referring to a Mossberg?

I've been using this stuff since Jan. I've had way too many odd problems. I switched back to TM and things are getting better.

I really like these skimmers. My little base model Curve 5 is over worked and under paid. I might bump my whole system up to 200 gals. I think this is the right one for the job. Thank you

This is what I was hoping to read. I've been running one for return for years. I just didn't know how it compared to the other pumps that BM uses on their other skimmer..

Thanks man, I'm more interested in the ? In the OP..

Now, there's about 130 gals of water. It might be 150 down the road, maybe a little more

Hey guys, I've been running a Bubble Magus Curve 5 for a few years. It's by far the best skimmer that I have ever used and I've used a few over the last 30 years. I need to step up to a larger skimmer. I'm thinking the BM Curve 9 Elite. It uses the Sicce pump with an upgraded adjustment... So...
