I built my first one and it worked incredibly well. Now, I have a very, very special one that was gifted to me and I just got it setup so we shall see how it does.

(I can't give details on mine yet)

I have decided to run the skimmer every other say instead of all the time because I am changing 2.5 gal a day along with my chaeto reactor.
It has been hard to keep my No3 at 2-3 and my Po4 above .02-3 without bottoming out.
I feed every other day and do so very heavily so taking the skimmer offline part of the time will help keep the number up without too much trouble.

I pulled the cup off my skimmer a while ago as I was always bottomed out. I also feed every other day. Now I am basically just using the skimmer sans cup for gas exchange. Much smaller tank for me of course and only a Tunze 9004. Pictures were beautiful BTW!

Good Idea as these daily water changes have defiantly had a major factor in lowering my No3 and Po4, but my tank has such a positive action to this that I am going to continue doing them. If I have to start dosing Nitrate and Phosphate I will before I ever stop the awc.

I feed the 240 daily and pretty heavy. I am running a Tunze chaeto reactor and a curve7.

The reactor is reverse of the lights.

I pull the collection cup on friday night and put it back on sunday. Like I did on the 93.

This always seems to keep the NO3 and PO4 right where they need to be.

I also feed oyster eggs once a week for the corals.

BTW, what is this:

I want some.

I really want to do this in the new tank!

I want a one spot too!

Katrina now you can do it cheaper than I did because of the new EcoTech versa dosers as they use a phone app and a apex isn't needed. I might switch to them to be honest because of noise.

No algae ever because of him and a few trocus snails.
