Yea I'm going reef with it lps some nems don't know what fishes yet. I'm using water from my DT to push it along. Had the tank running with saltwater for a few months just added sand and one rock going to get some cured rock later on. Got some rock in the filter also will add some green from my refugium later after cloud goes away.
okay so as suggested i rearranged my rock, to make more caves and less dead spots. what do you guys think? my bridgelux dimmable LEDs will be here on the 18th
That looks 110 times better, way to go!!
thank you!!! now I'm trying to decide which skimmer to order...
here it is cleared up
going to get a black ocellaris clownfish tonight or tomorrow to put in quarantine!!!
How regular are you plaining on doing water changes you may not need the skimmer
So if you do water changes you dont need a skimmer?
I am working on a 40gal breeder reef tank. I have a canister filter. need to get the LED lights, live rock and substrait
what size quarantine tank do you have and do you put anything in there except the fish and sw?
How regular are you plaining on doing water changes you may not need the skimmer
And why would you not want to take wast out of your water? To make things suffer??
Plus it's a great sours of aeration for any size tank
Who said I did not want to take them out. Nothing will suffer with water change one a week in a 20g the tank will have aeration don't need a skimmer for that. Also the water changes will handle the waste also the filter is rated more than double the tank will also handle it. And who said I don't want to take out the waste ?
I will not be using a skimmer. This is not my first ride bro tank and corals will be great I'm not keeping sps in this tank and water changes will not stress the tank and the filter will do it's job it will also be a small refugium in the filter everything will be ok will keep you updated going and get some rock now.
So you have a sump. No water changes won't be stressful than. But a skimmer will get rid of most of the stuff your filter will catch, meaning your filters will last longer and your water quality will be better, that's all
