Setup wasn't too bad. The lights are gorgeous. Will keep posting in this thread re how the livestock does with them. Thanks!Anxious to hear your thoughts after setup
So far I'm VERY happy with Red Sea's build quality and the stunningly beautiful peninsula tank. No buyer's remorse here!I'm excited because I'm wanting to do the penninsula 500

Thank you! Yes, new tank. Just set it up earlier this week.New tank ? Just curious
Tank looks Fantastic
The diatom outbreak only last a few days. All cleared up now. After using @AlgaeBarn Turbo Start 900, which calls for 5 days without the skimmer and UV, I fired that back up a few days ago and the skimmer is just going plain crazy.
I know it's supposed to foam, even foam a lot, at first (only been running a few days), but this seems excessive. It's been going for almost two days now, so I'm hoping it breaks in soon. Hoping this is due to the new tank, new skimmer, loads of good bacteria from the live rock, live sand, Quick Start nitrifying bacteria and Turbo Start 900, but man that's a lot of foam.
Last night I tried a few things. I raised the skimmer up about 4 inches, seemed to help. Also did a 10 gallon water change connecting a hose directly to the skimmer outlet tube. Both things seemed to help but it's still going crazy.
Any tips would be helpful.
So are you suggesting to limit the air flow? I closed it off and it makes a loud noise but is that ok while it's breaking in? Thanks!Needs a major air adjustment that's a wet skim too much flow... I had the same problem with my SWC Skimmer...
I switched to an ATI power one and it solved all my issues, obviously due to the D/C pump.. It gave me greater ability to control..
