It seems most tangs don't fit #3 and #4, most foxfaces don't fit #3, and most dwarf angels don't fit #2. Is this right?
I'm thinking about a Kole tang, but I think they just eat a very specific kind of algae...

As for question #3, I had a similar thought- are they redundant in function? I was told that they are safe to be run in tangent, because both the skimmer and fuge are helpful in improving water quality and the skimmer has the added benefit of increasing the water pH while operating.
I will have to dig more into powerheads. Seems like there is quite a few options and I guess I need to wrap my head around them more. Long way from the plain MJ900s. Anything I buy I want to make sure I can expand later on if I get a larger tank some day.
I go back and forth on the RODI unit...
...light to do this?
Also, if I wanted to add a protein skimmer, would it be best placed in either #1 or #5? I understand protein skimmers are surface skimmers, so placing them in #2 or #4 would not be efficient correct?
Also for #3, are there anything else I could put in there to benefit the...
Take note in Post #3, first sentence! :eek::oops::cool: I plead the fifth!
You might be right...in looking at the pictures again, the head does have more of a blunt front-end. I'll leave it to the experts. :D
...question though, the pipe going in to the top of the saltwater container is in fact used for mixing. In that picture, if you open valves #1 and #3, it will circulate the water internally in the saltwater container. It pulls water from the bottom of the container and exits out the top...

One of the most common questions I get is "If there's something I don't like about my aquarium's microbiome, what can I do about it?" In this thread I'll describe my experience with this question on my own home tanks.
The punchline...
...pumps. These were the very first truly silent pumps that I saw in the hobby.
They were known for running very warm. A single P4 ( models #2, #3,#4) could add 4-5 degrees to a 100 gallon tank.
They were a external only pump
What I did to be able to use them was to get a small clip-on fan ( 6")...
#3, which is the Ebay fleece cut 1/2" wider, was also a failure. When first installed it works just fine, but as it sits in water I think it weakens and stretches to become too narrow as it's pulled up the back side. Water just goes through the holes and the fleece never advances. I think the...
#3, my tank was a perfect ecosystem until I got a dosing system, now it’s a war 2.5 years later, going back to low tech ways. Water chemistry was always perfect. Now it seems that there's always too many nutrients in tank that cause ugly algaes. Never had a problem until I started using 2 parts...
Bonus entry #1, #2, #3, and #4
1. I love the relatively low energy consumption of this powerhead considering its versatility and power.
2. I am currently running the 1k icecap gyre.

...that works at a local fish store about it, his theory was the fish were dying then the shrimp got to the bodies.. However, it wasn't until fish #3, a lawnmower, that we finally witnessed the goliath in action.. was not fun to watch. Luckily the remaining are fast enough to escape him, but...

For #3, can you attempt dosing the same amount at the same speed over a powerhead in the display and let me know if you get the same result? My educated...
Yes ATI is three part I don't dose #3, #2 has ca/mag and trace and keeps my system in check with just 1&2. I would give it a try and see if you like it! I'm currently using a jebao 4 channel, have my 3rd/4th channel free since switching but you do need to calibrate the pumps to 100ml prior to...
Three main hobbies chez Simon - reef tank, woodworking and hi-end audio (though, sadly, I no longer possess hi-end hearing). Woodworking is definitely #3, the other two toggle back and forth depending on my level of interest at any given time.
