Sorry I know this post is a few weeks old now but I would NOT get the Hydor slim skim nano. I had one for about half a year before I bought a new skimmer. The thing produced no skimmate. Not a good design IMO. What skimmer did you get and how did you like it?

Well, I tried.

So once the GHA is gone, will it still be possible to grow the chaeto in the fuge?

I'm putting together equipment so I can start a QT again. I (will) have a 20 gal, heater, HOB filter, cheap led light, and was wondering if I need a skimmer. What else would be essential?

I DO have a GHA problem, and I still haven't been able to keep them alive for more than a month. Awesome to watch, but seem somewhat finicky as far as keeping alive. I've probably gone through about 5 now. :confused:

This stuff used to multiply so fast for me, I was always giving it away. Since my GHA problem started and I began using the GFO, I haven't been able to keep a healthy ball of chaeto. It just slowly recedes, like my hairline.

I never get ads......I use adblock    and it's free OH...and it works +1. Much more enjoyable.

Strawberry anemone, very common. Its a filter feeder and won't harm anything.

I returned Thursday night from a 2 week vacation only to find that my makeshift top off system failed drastically. Long story short, my return section of my sump ran dry and there was no heat going to the tank for probably at least a week. I came home to a tank with no live fish except for a...

It's a 125 and 18" deep. As far as corals, it's purely softies, a torch and I just added a BTA. I was thinking of adding some LED strips to increase the amount of lighting and also because they would hardly take up any room. I've seen several LED strips on EBay, but I don't want to spend money...

I have a 72" canopy that has two 34" Wavepoint T-5 retrofit kits side by side. I would like to add some additional lighting by maybe supplementing with a LED retrofit right next to it. Any ideas on who makes a good one?

I've been doing some reading and I'm thinking of switching out my biopellets for GFO. I'd like to try this before the algae scrubber as it seems like a little less maintenance. Any brands that work better than others?

I'm thinking about building a algae scrubber in my sump/fuge. Hopefully this will outcompete the GHA for nutrients. Where can I find the simplest build?

Recently I had been getting the upper hand on a GHA problem in my 125. I was getting rid of the excess water that was used to thaw out frozen food. I was doing more frequent WC's, and installed a reactor with biopellets. I was even using some drops to get rid of phosphates (can't remember the...

Even though this thread is a year and a half old, what the heck, I'll bite. Why do you say that they are not good for your tank? They are scavengers and eat detritus and any other leftovers.

I was reading in a forum where someone was saying that RO/DI water had to be aerated in their mixing can while the salt was dissolving. Is this in addition to a circulation pump or does that do the trick also? Sent from my overpriced iPod Touch using Tapatalk

Go to Amazon.com and look up "water gallon rack". I'm going to be getting the 3 bottle vertical one for about $27. Sent from my overpriced iPod Touch using Tapatalk
