GlennF's 300 gallon DSR reef.

Well said Glenn! All are very valid points.This is the skimmer I am thinking of purchasing. If you look closely it has Boss Hog air stones which so far have been in operation for 2 years without replacement, only periodic cleaning. They are supposed to have 0.25mm bubble size.

look nice, not so expensive as needlewheel ???
when you get it you schould compare the bubbles to a wooden aistone. i think that micropore stone is more consistent, but in The beginning the wood will deliver finer bubbles. so if you get nutrient issues, temporary using wooden air diffusers could be a option.

Interesting skimmer design.

it saves about 45-60 watts consumption and it wont get any quieter.

The noise won't bother me at all... Will look into it...

I am dutch myself and this makes me want to get started sooner rather than later. Can I ask where you get your dry goods, food and wet goods from?
I live in the hague and am looking for some shops accessible by tram/bus/train but not to crazy far away.

My yellow tang has been there since 2005.

They also claims "a coral reeftank need weekly water changes".

They also claims "all tanks without water changes look like sewers". (At some level is agree)
