I attached a rough image of what I intend my new frag tank setup with a ZooMed Low Boy to look like (I'm not the guy he's just a reference for height) what are some pieces of equipment you all suggest? I already have a sump for the system and an array of lights including 2 LEDs, a T5 fixture and...
I have a new c-vue 45 AIO that I'm cycling, and would like to find a skimmer that will fit in the small space provided in the sump area. I will link a photo of each baffles dimensions. I've seen a lot of people recomend the tunze 9004, and while I know it's a great skimmer I've heard issues with...
Does anyone have a Comline DOC 9012?
I just turned mine on for the first time today and the Reservoir just fills up with water and spit water all over my back wall has anyone experienced this?
I have the motor turned all the way down to
So I’m not sure what is causing this but I just got this coralife filter and when I plug it in it seems fine for a second then it rapidly fills the collection cup then when it’s full it starts spraying out of the little hole all over the back of the tank and floor. And I mean like spraying, over...
Hi all new here and new tank owner (literally). I bought a used setup with all HOB style filter and skimmer. My tank is cycling as I type this (90gallon with a new Fluval 407 suggested by local shop). Obviously i do not have a sump. My local shop has set everything up for me so far but said...
So some background:
I inherited this 50 (I am told) gallon Plexiglass tank. It came pre-established (don't know how long, but at least a year). It is a wedge design, with an overflow filter in the back. I have had the water quality tested several times...it is near perfect. I have it tested at...
Hi everyone, this is my first time on this forum so please forgive me if I post this in the wrong spot. I am working on an aquarium project for University and am tasked with "injecting a set amount of biological material into the system so that the performance of the skimmer can be automatically...
How long does everyone think it should take to fill a proper skimmer cup?
I think it would be a good gage of a skimmers proper sizing & tuning. What's everyone's opinion on this? Why?
Hey guys
I am willing to upgrade my skimmer for my Red Sea Max Nano AIO.
So, the space is kinda limited and I am wondering if there would fit a Tunze 9001?
Not sure as I seem not to find any info about people upgrading the skimmer.
For me the skimmer delivered with the AIO tank ifself is way...
I have a PLS-50 Elite II skimmer by CAD lights. The pump got busted recently and I can't find a replacement as it looks like the company is no longer in business.
Are skimmer pumps with the pinwheels universal? I want to be sure the performance is the same. I love this skimmer, it does and...
Does anyone have experience with this skimmer? I can't seem to find any reviews online for it. It generally runs for about $200 dollars, and I am wondering if it will be enough to work on a well-stocked 75 gallon tank with a 30 gallon sump.
I was looking at buying from AquaCave here...
Wanting to upgrade some stuff! Anyone selling a trident system to improve my monitoring, also looking to buy a
Red Sea skimmer, ideally an RSK 600, but open to a RSK 300, also a salinity probe for Neptune,
So I am currently using the reef glass nano skimmer on my biocube 32, its been working pretty good and been collecting a decent amount of skimmate. Just wondering if anyone knowa how hight the bubbles are supposed to be in relation to the stopper, Im not even sure if it really matters because...
Hey guys, I still get micro bubbles from QQ3. I already have it for almost 2 days also my foam doesn’t look right I think.
Any help to remove the microbubbles and set the skimmer the right way up…?
Thanks
Hi everyone,
Hope everyone’s doing great. Since it’s super cold outside, my house windows are closed up and my ph has dropped a lot. I am planning to add a nano skimmer to my 15 gallon reef tank. The skimmer I am planning is called the reef glass nano which is driven by an external air pump...
Good afternoon! I had a quick question can i add my skimmer to my fuge separated by egg crate and maybe some foam? i had another thread and a helpful user gave me this idea. I have a waterbox marine 110.5 stock sump. I’m not worried about water level or micro bubbles since the return pump is in...

Hi everyone! I need some advice and this is the best place in the world for high quality reef advice, so please bear with me and thanks in advance for your help!
Basically I was skimmerless for a couple of weeks after removing my previous skimmer to prepare the sump for a skimmer upgrade and...
So I’ve been thinking a little about this with my establishing a feeding regimen for corals.
It makes sense to start a tank of with a skimmer while you have fish and while building maturity, but once you get to that point, wouldn’t the space be better utilized to make the refugium larger? In...
Hi, I have had comline 9001 nano skimmer for about 3 weeks now, and I honestly still dont understand how this thing works. All gunk and waste must be collected in a cup, but the bubbles can never reach near the top of neck. I installed my skimmer to water mark, so I cannot place the skimmer any...
Looking to upgrade from my Bubble Magus Curve 5, which is currently running in my Red Sea Reefer 350 system (Heavy Bioload). The two options I have are the following:
Reefer Skimmer - RSK-300

Which skimmer would you pick? Judging by the pump...
I know there are million threads about this probably already. I have read a lot of them. But I still can't decide using because I have some constraints. So please hear me out:
What I am trying to look for:
- Easy to use. Don't need to constantly play with it
- A collection cub big enough...
I’m running Azithromycin for lyngbya. First time medicating my tank (tank will be 2 in February). I plan to dose fluconozole after for GHA. I know I am supposed to run the skimmer without the cup to keep the water oxygenated. My tank is full of microbubbles and my corals are not happy. I shut...
