I got my skimmer, along with the rest of my 75 gallon DT basic setup, from another reefer; there are no readily-identifiable markings on it but I believe it is an ASM (G-1X/G-2?) or Euro-Reef model. The pump it came with is a Sedra 7500, which apparently is no longer manufactured, and its impeller is beginning to bind. I don't know if the impellers for the other Sedra pumps (3500/5000/9000) would be compatible, nor can I tell if it's just the impeller or if there is some expansion in the pump cavity it spins within. The latter, naturally, would require replacement of the entire pump, not just the impeller. SO, if anyone knows (and/or can point me to) the answers to any or all of the following questions, I'd appreciate the input. - 1) which, if any, of the replacement needle-wheel impellers for other Sedra pumps are compatible with the 7500? - 2) are any of the other Sedra pumps (e.g. 3500/5000/9000) "plug and play" the way the 7500 is for these skimmers? -- 2a) if so, which? -- 2b) assuming, for the moment, that one or more of these other pumps ARE compatible, since the series number seems to indicate output (e.g., the 7500=750 GPH), how much performance hit would I take with the smaller (3500/5000) pumps, and conversely, would the 9000 be too much to handle? - 3) what, if any, other pumps would be more or less "plug and play" like the Sedra(s) at a similar flow rate as the 7500? I've done some looking around online but just can't tell. Thanks all!

Sounds like the plot of a bad SyFy channel original movie - some hapless group on a snorkeling / scuba vacation to a remote island (including a family and sacrificial hunks/scantily-clad females) loses several members to giant mutant aiptasia underwater and then escapes to the island only to be attacked by man-eating cockroaches (either huge size or numbers would do).

I've used it as a dip at 3-5 parts tank water to 1 part standard 3% hydrogen peroxide (five minutes or so). It's worked pretty well for me. I've also used the aiptasia-x syringes to inject full-strength into various patches in the tank, with mixed results.

Course Announcement - Coral Reef Ecology 2014
LCDRDATA replied to OUsnakebyte's topic in Conservation & Sustainability
That's weird - I looked at it before in two different browsers, and nothing there; now I look in one of the same browsers and there they are! What a great deal! Just out of curiosity, any tuition difference for graduate vs undergraduate credit? -

Sounds fantastic. Am I the only one who can't see the course announcement? -
