My Tank

[scottghs]

Thought I would share a picture with you all. My T5 Lighting arrived yesterday, along with the automatic timer to control it so I can have a normal day/night cycle for the fish.

So there's the tank. My Remora skimmer is creating massive amounts of bubbles, and I'm wondering what I should do. I read around and the closest thing to a suggestion was to stick a little bit of filter media on the outlet to stop the bubbles. This just backs up the bubbles and they make the overflow cup fill up in like 5 minutes.
Anyone have any other suggestions to fix this? What about the layout of my rock? Is it completely up to me, or does there need to be some sort of reasoning behind it? I tried to make as many little holes for fish to swim through as well as keep it stable.
Thanks again

The way you have your rocks arranged looks fine. Really there is no special way of arranging them to make them "perform better". As long as you have the rock in your tank, that's all you need.

The biggest thing to realize is that the rock can fall and break the bottom of the tank. Make sure that they are sturdy as you stack them. Having your fish fall through the bottom is definitely not healty for them. :scared:
