Re: is this anno skimer eny good #3
that looks like the skimmer that u get with the orca 550s
i have the stock skimmer in mine aswell as the v2nano and i must say the v2 is twice as good but saying that the stock1 still removes alot of crap aswell

Re: which species can I keep? #4
i have had my f8 puff tank running for about 4 months now and its doing fairly well
plants are doing well and only have had 1 die on me
my f8s are fine with the b/b gobies and 3 mollies for the algea
be care full what brackish puff u choose as lots will require going full marine when older

1 thing i will say is the importance off over filtration as the are mesy little buggers at feeding time and crap goes everywhere , u can have to much in my eyes
in my 400l tank i have the stock internal running which has a 600l hour pump in it and an aqua 1 cf1200 which does 1200l hour

Re: algae probs #6
yeah we have the blinds half shut during the day
it was the only place with no direct sunlight that the tank could go , perhaps i`ll adjust the timers for a break during the day
i have phos remover in my marine tank so i may bung some of that in there after ive tested it

Re: algae probs #7
i dont test for phos ( i guess i should be)
nitrAte never gets above 15 i guess , is normally stable at 10 between the weekly water changes
the tank dosnt get direct sunlight as such but does get about 2 hours of light cast on it near midday
as the the lights there is 4 tubes 2white which is on for 8hours then 1 red / 1 blue that is on 2 hours before and after and during the day totalling 12 hours

rear chamber help #9
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hi guys ive neglected the back of the tank whilst spending lots of money on live stock so its time i get it sorted
plus ive just noticed i have some red algea on the sand aswell

im chamber 1 i have the stock skimmer with the original sponges infront of the intake grills
chamber 2 i have a sheet of pollyfilter and a v2 nano skimmer
chamber 3 is the heater and about a kilo of rubble and coral pieces
chamber 4 is the stock return pump

i in tend cutting the poly fiter in half and having a piece in 2 and 3 , that way i can balance the water levels better for my skimmers by restricting the flow with it , i also will upgrade the return pump to a 1200 but a part from that im open to suggestions
