Dec 30, 2024 · Any recommendations for a protein skimmer for a 15G nano AIO. Preferably something low profile and can fit in the back chamber. These are some I’ve come across that I have in mind: rinse comline 9001, innovative marine DC aio, bubble magus MiniQ Nano. I was also considering the icecap k1...

Oct 28, 2024 · DIY skimmer based on design of Lifereef skimmer. I use Mazzei venturi. I want to order a Lifereef but the shipping fee to my country is massive, I cannot afford. Result looks promising.

Aug 20, 2020 · Skimmer had been up and running for a few years now with zero issues. Went to do my weekly water change and maintenance on the tank, when I realized the skimmer cup was full of clear water and over flowing. Nothing has changed with this skimmer or the tank recently. The water level in the...

Jul 21, 2019 · The skimmer will suck in water from the 3rd/bottom section of the media basket. 3) Make sure whatever is in the 3rd chamber (chemi-pure elite for me) doesn't block the intake too much. I hang it from a hole closer to the opposing side. With this set up, the skimmer works as I always thought one should.

I have a 240 on my 120 gallon tank. not an easy skimmer to adjust properly. i constantly have to tweak it. when its running well it pulls out alot. that being said for a little more money id go with something else. Reef octopus or nyos is your best bet.

Apr 2, 2023 · Only pieces of non-Red Sea kit in my tank at the moment are my return pump and my lights (Radion). If my return fails, I’ll probably pick up one of the RS pumps as I’m genuinely impressed with how quiet the skimmer DC pump is, and how comparatively great the app is (it’s still pretty bad, but all of the reef tank company I’ve apps are ...

Thus, a DOC skimmer for 1,000 liters (264 USgal.) should be used for a tank with a maximum content of approx. 300 liters (79 USgal.).

Jan 3, 2018 · I am using the same skimmer, but I am drawing air from a reactor filled with soda lime. Since doing so, my PH has went from high 7s, to 8.1-8.3 consistently. I just connected tubing that fit over the air intake nozzle on the NYOS skimmer, and directed it to the reactor.

Nov 8, 2023 · I have the same skimmer and will get a reaction like this when I change filter floss or run a new poly filter. Usually only lasts an hour or so. When the cup overflows the water falls back into the skimmer body. How is it getting on the floor? I would run a bunch of new carbon to remove whatever is causing the skimmer to freak out.

Nov 30, 2017 · This skimmer has been the easiest to adjust of any that I have owned and I have had many popular brands, both high end and less expensive. The performance has been impressive this first week, so much so that I decided to post my thoughts. This skimmer has a small foot print ( (9.8 x 7.0 x 16.3 in.).
