Mini Shallow Reef Upgrade

[Iceman001]

That’s good to know , I have looked at the Nyos 160 as well as a replacement for my Tunze 9410 Skimmer if I am not happy with it once my build gets going .

Nyos will be one of best choice.

Do not look for a male. From the group you have one dominant female will make the transition to a male.
It is wonderful to see how the fins develop and colours change.
There are 2 kinds of lyretails. The Fiji and the Maldives ones. Both kind of males develop crazy colour.

Wow, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

Nyos uses the same Eheim pump body only modified venturi manifold.

And I believe eheim uses the Eden pump, same as used in Skimz. Made in Italy.

Where do you keep your nitrate and phosphate level at? Are you dosing any color supplements?

That is quickly. Must be very dominant then. Happy to hear that.
I think i can see him in the fts.

Also, how do you like the diffusers? Any positive change?

Yes, the male is very dominant.
The diffuser look great. Can still see shimmering effect but without the red, green and blue and there's no more disco light effect at the bottom of the tank.
I think the colour is blended in nicely with the diffuser. And is not so glaring now when I siting at my work desk.
