Chadf Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Nice tank, I really like that bit of rock out the water. Consider getting a crab that can climb to the top and take a break from the water at times? The small ones that scurry across the sand and rocks at the beach. Those look like they like a little bigger of a tank. I'm new to the hobby so I don't know if those minimum requirements are very strict. Eh, those are just guidelines. Link to comment
Chris! Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Eh, those are just guidelines. And your tanks dimensions aren't exactly typical for size which makes a bit of a difference as well. Link to comment

Chadf Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 I just caught my skimmer cup halfway full for like the first time. It's usually empty doing nothing for a week before suddenly filling up with water in 5 seconds flat. Link to comment

Chadf Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 Oils in yer tank, maybe? Anything's possible, although I try to keep my hands out of the tank and I haven't added any equipment or anything. The surface also has no buildup. I think it's just the crappy skimmer combined with too low of a bioload and too clean of a tank. Link to comment

jack1978 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I think you want the water level about two inches below the bottom of the cup. Link to comment
