I would break it in to 3 small pcs and get rid of the die off, Check your MAG levels....they need to be right to keep that coral. Also so nitrates.... I have that coral and it can be fussy, but it grows like a weeD!!

If you have one of these skimmers lets hear your experience on them. I hear they are #1 over even Deltec equipment....

what about t-5 lights....too much or what!!

I want to set up a FOWLER tank with a fish list of coral munchers. Basically anything I can not keep in my reef. I have no idea's on the lighting, but I want it to be a bright tank with good lighting...just no halides. I need some sugestions. The tank will be a 180. Thanks

The turbo floater bl**s ( no offense ) H&S does have awesome reviews. I totaly agree with you. Spend the money and get the best this way you will not be ever worring about, "well I wonder if the H&S would have been better" ? There is always the MCE 600 Deltec!!!!

Not to sure......what kind of corals do you want to keep??? You will be limited with that set up. Coralmorphs and softies is really about it for that lighting. Maybe some LPS. Once I really started learning about this hobby I fell in love with SPS corals and they require sick lighting....

HATE TO HIJACK....BUT JUST A QUESTION. How many drains do you thing would be needed for a 1500 gph and is the size of the bulk head make a difference??

Get the Deltec MCE 600 if your serious about skimming........do it right the first time....you will eventually see what I mean if you get the prizm. That skimmer is lowest on the totem pole

Very inconsistant skimmers...they do more overflowing than anything else. When it worked...it did work. It just did not work enough for me. There are so many better ones out there. #1 Deltec (any) #2 Euro-Reef (any) #3 Geo #4 H&S #5 ETSS

How Long Will The Decorations Stay Nice????

Could be the new bulbs.....I just replaced mine and I am battleing a alge bloom as well. You tang should be chowing on that anyway. More than likly its your new bulbs.

I tested a new batch of my salt today for Mag. and it come up as 1421.5 PPM and that was at 1.026. So it is kinda high...actually it right on. So why did it get to 1600PPM??? Good question right.

Good question.....I have dosed in months for mag because the salt mix was with a high value. Only thing I did differently was realized after 1 year or more of using the same Calcium test(seatest) that it was 200ppm off..under I mean so I had to raise 200ppm. That was really it. :scared:

My mag is 1600...I want to lower it to 1350

I had the same problem and I got rid of it!!! I then got an ETSS (downdraft) I was able to put a ball valve on the pump and slowed the overflowing water down all the way....waited a few weeks and it was done overflowing

I agree
