Anybody else ever used ozone in AquaC's skimmers??

Am not familiar with your powerhead and I have a FO tank so I can't give you help with those questions. What I have read is that the Maxi-Jet powerheads are very highly regarded and they are the only type I currently use in my own 110G tank. Good luck. John

You may want to do a search on this type of skimmer because I don't think that people's experience with this product has been very positive. I just bought the AquaC Urchin Pro for my sump and it works great with very little adjustments needed right out of the box. They also make a HOB model...

I think you mean the Hydor Flo wave maker which is a product I've looked at myself. It comes with many adapters which are supposed to fit most if not all powerheads. You may want to do a Google search for the Hydor website for more information on their product. John

I'm using three 1200 Maxi-Jets in my 110 gallon FO tank and have one agitating the water surface, and two pointed at each other at either extreme end of my tank. Was thinking also of adding a rotating device to each powerhead called the Hydor "Flo" wavemaker which moves in a circular pattern and...

My tank is only about two months old now and has stabilized nicely after I lost my initial set of fish to what I now believe was an outbreak of Brooklynella. My 110 gallon FO tank now has a yellow Tang, Royal Gramma, and a Domino Damsel. All my readings are near perfect and I recently added a...

Does an invertibrate "cleanup crew" consisting of largely hermit crabs, starfish, and shrimp add to a tanks bioload and effect the level of tank polutants and ammonia? At what rate can these be safely added to a tank?? Thanks for your input. John

Yes I was kind of taken by surprise myself since many people suggest using an ozonizer with skimmers and it is a puzzling to me how to best and safely hook up either the Remora or the Urchin. Hopefully someone else will have some experience with this. Wonder also if anyone knows where to...

Am using The Urchin Pro Aqua C skimmer which I believe is simular to the Remora Pro model. Have just gotten an Ozone generator with an intrinsic air pump inside. Is anyone using one of these skimmers with an ozonizer? How would you connect the ozonizer to a skimmer which doesn't have a venturi...

Have one of those lighting units. Are generally cheaply made and tend to run pretty hot even with the included fans running. They do work as advertized and are a bargain but if you have the money there definately is a quality difference between Jebo and the Coralife lighting units which are...

For ease of service and upkeep I would definately go with the Aquaclear 500 for a HOB filter and get the Remora Pro as your HOB skimmer. I have used the Skilter COMBO myself in the past and while it does a decent job of filtering it is a second rate skimmer at best. Go with the two products if...

There are no easy answers to these general questions and it is dependent on your buget and commitment to the hobby. Larger tanks tend to be more stable and less disturbed by a mistake in overfeeding,less diligent maintenance, power outages, etc. Try to get a good general book(eg. The...

I used to use the largest Aquaclear in my freshwater tank I think it was called the 500 at the time and it was easy to service and worked very, very well for mechanical and chemical filtration. That being said I really think that you're barking up the wrong tree regarding the source of your...

Have bought a ton of supplies from there and you get generally great bargains IF you're careful and patient. You'll need to ask relevant questions like the condition of the item, expiration dates, etc. before you bid. Also read the feedback that the seller has received and don't forget to always...

Any ideas on the best way to set up this ozonizer?? John

Just received my Urchin Pro skimmer and it was well packed and works flawlessly. Thanks Masala4080 for a great bargain!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: John

:notsure: Just bought an ozone unit from an auction site for my 110 gallon FO aquarium. I'm using the Urchin Pro model protein skimmer which doesn't use a ventori type air intake and a Rio 1400 water pump which also has no air intake. Was hoping for some advice on how to set up the ozone unit...

Great! Just sent you off an email. You can reach me at sragone@comcast.net. Thanks again.... John

There are many,many dealers selling these brands on that famous auction site. Just put in a search with the above words in a title and description search. Good luck John

Is your skimmer still available?Thank you. John
