Not sure if it looks better or just feels better after a water change....probably both

Way to big right now, and will take way to long to grow into.i wish I got the 150.

Its a great skimmer it can be set any way I want with hight or air it really is a nice skimmer but it wants a bio load, it can only run for 5hrs b4 it stops skimming anything out, it strips the water, I dont run it all the time

Yeah I kinda figured as much. I'm running that skimmer on a Proclear 200 which has a combined water volume(display+Sump) of about 150 gallons of water. I find that it's big and skims inconsistently asa result of not enough bio load?Tried to add more air to see if that helps. Jury still out. It's a very nice skimmer just might be too big at this point. I'm running a BK160 in another tank I just started up with roughly same water volume and that thing is skimming beautifully. The smell is horrible. LOL

Yeah I might bite the bullet one day $, and get the correct size skimmer, im not looking forward to admitting i was wrong

They do smell bad when they are working good, they put all the air holes they can in the lid!

This was purchased as a Limon lime acropora, it came in green with brown polyps, its now turning pink with green polyps, with a couple of heads trying to poke out. I cant find any information on it but its doing good.

Here's today's picture of it I recieved it 11/6 it sat on a rack probably for 3_4 weeks before it was set on the rock.

Tank is doing good, having diatoms a little ordered silicate test going to check to see what r.o is putting out also.

Tank looks good overall, added fox face last week

[thatmanMIKEson]

Juicy fruit and black widow both from wwc

 

[thatmanMIKEson]

Dirty glass, and hungry fish!

Sweet I just added 2 AI 16hd's to my lighting array. Its going to make the sides light up good it already looks better I will need to mess with it still. But I was going to get one more 360x but 2 of these are visually looking better.

 

[thatmanMIKEson]

I'm loving the new prime additions, they round out the sides nice and I have almost an exact color match to my eye. So far so good!

I love night time pictures I have my u.v popping hard for the last 30min let it glow...

 

[thatmanMIKEson]

Deep clean, all equipment, glass scrape, and 15% water change.

Looking good, new acro additions on the rack
