I have the eshopps hob and its great!

Also, for the hiding spots, get some big PVC elbows from Home Depot. The meds don't leach into them and they are cheap for what they are. Good luck

Hi everyone, I purchased a yellow kole eye tang the other day and have him in qt with a juvi tomato clown. They get along very well, no friction at all. I have noticed however that the mouth of the tang looks all messed up and the tang's mouth is always open. I think the tang has eaten some...

No, hob. I have the larger hob and empty the cup twice a week.

I have a 54g corner and have the eshopps psk100h skimmer and its fantastic!!! Pulls some nasty dark gunk everyday!!!! I highly recommend it!! The corners have no room in the stand and I am happy I was able to replace the terrible skimmer I had before! Good luck

I have had my rock flower doing very well under about 2 watts/ gallon in my 180 going on a year now. I do feed it every few weeks specifically and it picks up whatever floats by. Rock flower anemones don't require the high light like carpet or bubble tips. Good luck!!

Absolutely beautiful!!!

I have the eshopps hob skimmer and its fantastic! Quick break in and pulls all sorts of nasty junk!!

The eshopps is 150 and I'm sure you can find free shipping. It is so worth it for a hob. I know it's more than you wanted to spend, but a skimmer is a very important part of the equipment, next to the lights in a reef.

We use the tropic Marin salt in all our tanks. Stable and never an issue. The calcium is a bit low, but I have been using the regular formula, not the reef. Their reef blend has a higher calcium content.

What do the reviews say about this skimmer? I know the eshopps hong on back and in sump work very well. I just dumped a boat load of nasty junk from mine today.

Honestly I only have experience with led lighting. I think someone can jump in, but for t5's, the recommended is about 4 watts a gallon for soft and most lps coral, more for sps. Hope that helps a bit.

Could have been stress from being in a tank that is way too small for any tang. Tangs in general need a 6 foot long tank.

Looks like a lobo brain to me. The open brains have a orbital looking skeleton when deflated( at least mine does) and crimps in the middle with its flesh. This looks to have a lobed skeleton.

We rigged ours up and use that floss stuff you buy in bulk and attach with rubber bands. My fish guy actually took the filter socks on purpose with him when he set my tank up because they are a hassle. I have a piece of egg crate cut to size in the first chamber and have the filter floss...

You should be cleaning your filter sock at least with every weekly water change! That could be a Hague part of your problem.

My fox didn't touch it al all. Picky little bugger!!!!

I think the rule is to have a skimmer able to handle double your tanks water volume. I have a 54g corner reef and just picked up the eshopps psk100h and its fantastic! Removing all sorts of junk. I originally bought the system used with a junk skimmer. The old skimmer was producing very light...

Parts per million. If you go the straight ammonia route, it takes very little to,get it up,to 4. Use a few drops and test it.

I have mine on a rock mid tank, but most of my coral are moderate light and flow. Depends what you,have in the tank and how strong your lights are. Also, I think they prefer to attach to,rock, but in Florida you can't sell them attached to,a rock. Weird, but apparently true... Good luck

It's not ideal, but if you keep up on the water changes and everything you should be ok. Remember to re dose the copper with every water change to keep the amount of medicine in the water consistent. If you,do a 4 gallon water change dose only for the 4 gallons you replaced. Also, pick up a...

In order to kill the iCh in the display tank all fish need to be removed for about 6 weeks. Otherwise you will be constantly battling th same problem. Sorry and good luck!

I have the eshopps hang on skimmer and its working great. 2 day break in period and skims nasty gunk from my reef.

Stay safe and we can dal with the algae after your back up and running. Definitely don't dose the tank. I would get a small turkey baster and spot feed a non phyto based food like reef snow or marine snow. Less food in the water column.

Skip the marine land lights, they are all pretty bad. If you,were only looking at mushrooms, ok, but anything else and they are a fail. Also, skip the damsel. Aggressive and just not worth it. You could do maybe a coral Beauty angel for the same coloration.
