Bulkhead/Sump Questions.... Careful It's A Big One!!

[Jason]

I can see the use for surface skimming i suppose if you live in a dusty enviroment with a screen top or any other situation you may find yourself in that drops gunk on your water. Been reading quite a bit and it seems a few ppl are useing Protien Skimmers on freshwater tanks these days, boggles my mind really. But indeed such an application is not painfull enough to justify not setting it up just in case somebody wants to give your herps a happy ending .

Agreed.

First, what the heck is a protein skimmer, don't have time to do research these days with the new job AND keeping up with the house, AND building my new vive... Second, what's this talk about happy endings!?!

LOL, a Protien Skimmer used at one time exclusivly in Reef Aquariums is a piece of equiptment that uses Very tiny bubbles to grab organic and chemical waste from the water collom and is normally housed in a sump but you can get versions that hand on the back of the tank. The happy endings was a stab as come crude humor directed at Green Ghost's comment about hand lotion residue on his water surface, i instantly, and as any 16 year old trapped in a 31 year old body thought about the several adult orented places in Toronto where handlotion and happy endings are sinonamous. hope that clears it up lol, dont think i can get more descriptive then that, well i could but the powers that be may flog me.....oooooo....flogging

Wow.... good to see this post is still teaching people about the important things in life, like the benefits of hand lotion, flogging and happy endings, oh yeah and a bit of viv building mixed in there too!!
