  1. This is my clean up crew. One giant snail.  

    I am a little concerned that there is not enough food in the tank for him (?) to eat. Any ideas on what to feed? 
     

    Anthias for scale.

  2. I have several power heads in my sump. One creates flow for some frags, I have two pumps that power the skimmer and another that pumps water through a carbon reactor. They all help flow. It is not uncommon to have flow in the sump if you want to keep detritus suspended. Some people choose to have a very calm sump so that detritus collects and can be siphoned out. 

     

    You want to do whatever works best for your filtration system and maintenance schedule. 

     

     

  3. I just used it 2 weeks ago. Skimmer went nuts for at least 5 days. Same procedure as above. Left skimmer cup off and let the bubbles just flow into the sump. Did a water change on day 3 and just waited for the skimmer to come back to normal. Took longer than I thought it would. 

     

    Jeffvt, what skimmer are you using and how did it handle the chemiclean? 

     

     

  4. Well, I am considering a major overhaul of all of my equipment and part of that might include a new controller. I have an old APEX but I never really loved the interface. I'm not a tech person.  I'll probably include a new controller in my plans if I can find one that has an easy user experience. 

     

    I'm actually look for help with this new build. Thinking about hiring a consultant for re-design of my fish room and installation of new equipment.
