yeah read alot set up and many suggest skimmerless but i see most set up also have skimmer... i guess my thinking is that is better to have more den less.. i've read up on the Rio nano skimmer filter and theres a few forums who praised this filter as a 2-in-1 cheap skimmer filter. most likely will get this to replace my GEX filter... will still keep up with 10% WC weekly for sure.

The debris will be sucked and gather around the pump and will clog up ur pump & tubes -.-"
I just washed my very dirty pump and tubings...cos i noticed my flowrate was reduced.... |

Budget marine needs high levels of discipline, but it's doable. There's just too many goodies out there to tempt you.

Here's my current plan for my tank :
Tank (31x31x36cm 5mm tank) Filter : GeX L size Hang on OR Rio Nano Skimmer. Skimmer : Either the Rio nano skimmer or i do without one. Lighting : Beamswork 6x3w LED light. WaveMaker : Considering BOYU if i cant find a hydor koralia Nano the rest seems too high flowrate. Additives: Prodibio Nano Reef Kit Substrate : Substrate: Carib-Sea Ocean Direct Aragonite sand (should i go for 5lb or 10lb?) Salt : I was given TropicMarin (small amount) and a 4kg pack of RedSea salt. can i mix both together for initial cycling period? and after that change to D-D h2o Instant Ocean mix, is this ok? |
