    43 Liters Nano

    Hello R2R! I'm a newbie around here and about to set up a nano tank of 43 liters. I researched and asked many people around, but everyone said different things. Firstly, I could not decide on the capacity of the return pump. If I choose 1000 LPH, it means it turns 43 liters for 23 times in one...

    Is this Protein skimmer enough?

    I have a brand new Reef Octopus Classic 110int Protein Skimmer for a Red Sea 350 total 91g volume. I’m wondering if it’s enough for 6-8 fish, but with 2 TANGS. I do 20% water changes biweekly and occasionally 3 weeks. Returning is a pain in the butt but should I upgrade for future benefits?

    Protein Skimmer

    Any thoughts ? Had my tank for about 7 weeks. Just got a protein skimmer installed last night. At first I thought this was micro bubbles. But upon closer inspection it’s not. Any idea what it is/ if it’s normal? Been running for 16 hours. Wasn’t happening before I had the skimmer.
