I have updated:

  • SKIMZ SN147 Skimmer and replaced the Bubble King Mini 180 it was too much
  • Replaced and added a SKIMZ quiet 9.0 return pump
  • 2x Ecotech MP40's in replacing my endless Maxspect Gyro drama (First 2x 230s, then 2x 250s)
  • Replaced and added a new UV Lamp 18w from AquaMedic
  • Replaced H20 Ocean PP4 Pro dosing pump (with Ecotech Versa x4) as it wouldn't allow for a network or router connection (watch these, they look nice but are super network sensitive)
  • Added SKIMZ 4x 1.5ml Dosing Container
