  6. I also want to DIY a set. hmm heard DE carries the ballasts. how many feet is yours?
  7. Honestly it doesnt matter for the putty if its for marine application or otherwise. The skimmer will still go bananas and if you use lesser putty, you may not get the strength you want, in such case you might be better off with superglue. And I meant this in the case where you use minimum putty.
  8. Yes Im referring to the common elephant glue as well.
  9. Oh yes the putty Im referring to is any putty. as long as its epoxy regardless tlf or deltec, you should get crazy skimming. Part and parcel of the chemical reaction I understand. I was using hardware shop marine putty then. Hope this helps.
  10. Sorry to hear about your losses. Basically I can attribute your loss to the epoxy putty you used. I experienced crazy skimming after using the putty and what my HK friend and I deduced was that the putty is 'oily' in nature and the reaction chemically creates more of such oil and other by products which are detrimental to any tank. Both of us were running a 3 footer that time. Therefore Im not surprised a nano will take a beating from that. My advice is to go with super glue since so far ive yet to experience a crash and also periodic water changes to help with the chemicals released by foreign shbstances and nutrients released by corals and other organisms. Im currently on a 6 gallon tank with 3+1 fishes. so far everything looks okay and Im planning to add more fishes and get a surface skimmer to combat the oil film kn the surface of the tank. Hope this helps.
