Thanks for the info! I’m going to be running mine with ozone which is why I picked this skimmer. The extra dwell time makes it the closest skimmer I can find to a true ozone reactor

Sicces are good pumps but noisy. On my return, I didn’t realize I got a might jet on the 100g and bought a Octopulse 6. It must have been defective because it sounded like metal grinding when it was running. I swapped out for the mightjet and it was super silent. Only thing I don’t like is I can’t control via 0-10vi went with the Sicce syncra 5.0. It hums too loud. I’ll get a different pump ( DC) after I pick up a few other things first. I put mine in the sump which is a little tight. If you place it outside, you will need to extend the return on it to go out into the sump. Haven’t needed to run it much yet but will definitely oxygenate the water. If you get one, get the waste container too. You’d be able to run this for a long time before it fills.
That is a lot of sponges. Love the conch as well. Our “Thor” is one of the most entaining members of the tankTurned off the blue for a bit.
He’s churning it for me. I have another snacklebox arriving this week hoping they’ll finish off the diatoms on the sand. The Tongan nassarius are a joy to watch at feeding time. Loving all the different color of the sponges and tunicates. I have not dumped any bacteria in this. Straight up TBS base. There is a black storm in there too but hiding.That is a lot of sponges.

Going to try wrapping some cushioning around the pump one day and see if it just vibration to the sump. I only know the IM is running with hearing a slight ripple in the overflow. I was originally looking at a DC but was told it’s not necessary. I don’t mind the whoosh of water going through the skimmer, just not the motor hum. I do have the ATO and Skimmer on now and I don’t hear it sleeping so it’s been OK. I think I can wait a while.I've got the Sicce Syncra SDC 6.0 on my 60g cade and I can't hear it at all.
I run it around 70%.
Nice system and base rock.Some nice coralline growing.
Very pretty, love the scape!Turned off the blue for a bit.
Beautiful. I know nothing about these, but will you be able to keep fish along with it?going through the bucket list.
Maybe, maybe not. Not interested but going to try one. They’ve been getting along fine. Only interested in hand fed shrimp so far and live crabs and a few snails. But I got rid of the mantis shrimp (if that’s what it was). Never saw it but no more clicking. Whether this lasts for 1 month or 24 months it’s worth it for me.Beautiful.
