this is an awesome tank. i love the maxima. ive heard to go with tunze osmolator. heard from the -- forum that sometimes the jbj goes bad-- so theres good and bad reviews about the jbj ato but good reviews about the tunze.

I am having microbubble problems with my coralife super skimmer these days. I don't use the bubble trap BC it's too big. Do i have to have the water output pipe out of the water or in the water? Please post some photos of your CSS. Please!!

GREAT tank!!! Hopefully my Orange Monti gets half that size in the months to come. I'll be physched.

 

[qn5]

thanks for all the kind comments.
Tonight, I'm going to fix the micro-bubble problem. I will post the pic if it works.

I tried to frag them before but they are not really branching so I couldn't find a perfect place to snip. Anyhow, I finally solved the micro bubbles issue. It was pretty simple.
I went out and bought this.. and cut it.

And it looks like this..

For JBJ ATO users, what pump do you use?

 

[glowplug]

what kind of skinmate are you pulling out? super dark, or tea colored?
