I have there quite a large hepatus tang, two adult maroon clowns, large bubble-tip anemone and royal gramma. Some inverts and corals, too... Mostly soft corals, mushrooms, buttons, etc. I am constantly battling algae growths of different kinds. Have been using phosphate removers recently to get rid of reddish cyano but while cyano is gone with phosphates at 0.05 I still have heavy&ugly brown growth on almost all surfaces - algae forever, no luck! I have limited feedings to minimum - tang is swimming with colapsed belly already, but it does not work at all. I will do water change, clean the rocks/walls, but after couple of days everything is ugly again... I think I need to upgrade my skimmer to get down with nutrients. Seaclone removes a lot of gunk, but frequently gets clogged and requires cleaning and adjusting frequently. My under-the-tank cabinet is about 24" 1/2 high. Sump is currently a simple 10g AGA tank, but can be replaced for something more sophisticated to suit the new skimmer. The return pump is QuietOne 3000 (about 700gph submersible). What will the best suited skimmer for my bioload and size of the cabinet ? I need it to be reliable, not requiring frequent cleaning and adjusting and must remove a lot of gunk from the water, of course... I would prefer it fit under my tank inside the cabinet but if I have to go with HOB type I will. Please advice, Thanks! |
