Did you get it used? Can you take a pic of the needle wheel? It's really common for the needle wheels to break down over time and they need replacing. This would definitely impact your foam production and really impair performance. Snails and junk get caught in them also. Have you taken a look...

I promise you do not need to invest in a Royal Exlusiv Skimmer to get dry, nasty skimmate. I promise. :)

The Nyos 120 is a great skimmer that a lot of people have success with (including myself - used to have one, skimmed great). I don't think you need to go looking for a new skimmer.

Aren't we using the exact same skimmer? I guarantee you that this skimmer will pull nasty gunky skimmate if tuned correctly. I assume our skimmers have the same options, body shape, and pump settings...no?

Any skimmer can pull dry skimmate - I suspect @Alexander1312 and @MichaelB that you are not adjusting your skimmers to skim this way if that is your goal. You are simply describing a wet skim. Skimmers all basically do the same thing, and what you are paying for with the “high” end skimmers are...

Huge thread on this in the guide I wrote that Alex linked above. I would read all that first!

I will take the 15g!

Awesome tank! Always so much stress over having enough live rock ....clearly not necessary!

Pelvic fin is all wrong jk

You wanna share your AB results? I put mine in my tank journal, and am about to send off another one.

Nay...the tank is really taking off right now, so I am going to leave things alone for the next year (lol). I am not sure if it's the traces, the carbon dosing, the lighting, or the antibiotics (I have made a lot of changes the last few months chasing that @RandyC color). But I am seeing better...

The skimmer or the audio stuff? The audio stuff caught my eye....

Also - I’m only doing this in the 250-450 PAR range, I haven’t stuck any new frags in higher PAR than that - that real estate has not been available for some time.

My nutrients are only around 8-10 // .05-.08 these days. Always do have a lot of flow though

I’ve never acclimated anything - only thing I’ve ever bleached are chalices, but that was probably too high light in general (rather than lack of acclimation). Every acro I’ve ever had I’ve just put wherever. Have had frags wither away and fail to thrive of course but doubt it was lighting.

I think you are right. I got the RMF acid trip and BC aquatic man table from you at the most recent swap. Thanks again for bringing such awesome stuff. I’ll DM you, maybe we can work out some trades.

Pics of frags I'm using to repopulate some of the real estate made available by the mag: Rainbow chalice from @B the Nano Reefer TGC Cherry Bomb - 3rd attempt at this one, looking good so far: PC Rainbow, growout contest winner. Looking really nice: TSA Princess Peach: POTO...

I got it from @Darkxerox , and have put a lot out into the club since.

I’ve got acres of Manila spy if you ever want a big piece!

The new rock structure from Mike has already colored up some. Did a lot of re-arranging of both coral and rock, so things are a lot more spread out/sparse in the center and right side of the tank. But there's a LOT more real estate now that is for sure. Things seem really happy right now - even...
