More Info

Country: Australia
Description: aqua one ar980. 3.5 ft* 150 watt MH, 2 * t5 actinics, 2 moonlights. no brand marine sources external protein skimmer ms 150:6540 l. sump with return pump, bag of phosguard in sump. no other media used. live rock in main tank.
Advice: I started out with an aqua one marisys complete filter but outgrew this too quickly to justify spending the money on it. skimmer was a filter stone model (not good enough). setup a new system which was half the price and is heaps more effective at removing waste. overflow water goes directly to external skimmer (venturi) which then overflows into a plastic kitchen garbage bin (sump,)with a bag of seachem phosguard and the return pump. thats it. good thing about phosguard is it can be reused until it turns yellow, its just an extra safe guard agaisnt phosphate. mine lasts for over six months

COMMENTS

I've only ever seen the flame angel pick at my sand coral (trachy )but he appeared to only be picking a bit of crap that started to grow on it. other than that he has never picked at any other coral. he's fine I would highly recommend one. fish avatar
Does your Flame Angle pick or eat your corals? I'm building a 125 gallon and i would like one but it's iffy if the Flame eats corals. please respond thank you and i love your tank nice work. fish avatar
