RIP

After the recent tornadoes in North Alabama, I was forced to take down the tank due to the power being out for so long. I have set up a makeshift tank at my grandparents house which houses most of my corals, my clowns, my dad's clowns, and a few of my dad's corals. Everything else is sitting at home dead :(

look very great but i will try to change the filtration and put a good skimmer. You have a great light whit that metal and the t5. That is my opinion.

Thanks! But I prefer to just do weekly or biweekly water changes instead of running a skimmer.

I am considering just getting another aquaclear 50 to put sand and chaeto in. But as of now, I am cash broke :(

if you have a skimmer id run it even though your doing waterchanges...

 

[Dasani]

I don't have one.

Is there any significant reason I should run one? I have seen plenty of awesome nanos without them.

 

[EW_Fish]

And I've seen nanos run with waterchanges weekly and look horrible. I ran mine without one and had nothing but bad happen and I did waterchanges weekly 30%. Eversince I got the protein skimmer my sand stays bleach white and there is zero alage.

 

[Dasani]

I have seen tanks that have amazing growth with waterchanges every 2-3 weeks and I see um have amazing growth with daily waterchanges. The point of a skimmer is to remove waist right? Well I have filter floss, chemi-pure elite and water changes to do all that. So I don't think a $100+ skimmer is necessary at the moment. Now when I get more sps and they grow, I will consider one. Thanks for your input.

Mines full of frags. But good luck
