Aquarium Advice Regular
Hey all, ok so I have been doing some reading and have decided with the size of my tank and the type of fish and the meaty food they are eating and the fact that my nitrate level is to darn high that a protein skimmer would help. I have heard the inexpensive skimmers are just inneffective toys. Does anybody have any suggestions to a reputable quality skimmer? Here are my vitals:
72 gallon bow front tank
30 lbs of rock
30 lbs of sand substrate
Rena XP 3 filtration system
1 stripped burrfish
1 longhorn cowfish
1 porcupine puffer
1 snow flake eel
4 small red leg hemit crabs ( soon to be 10)
With all of the meat I feed them and the fact the puffer likes to chew and spit I need some help. I am currently changing 7-10 gallons a week and changing the bio chem every two weeks. Thanks in advance for the advice I have never used a skimmer before.
