Nice looking lagoon! The rock work is nicely stacked!

Thanks, that's her work. She wanted minimal, with one of the islands coming out of the water. She used to fishes reef puddy to stack the rocks. It's 30lbs of billy hays reef rock, with a 1lb piece of live from one of our other tanks to help seed.

So what are the complaints?

Compartments are tiny, ghost skimmer seems to be the only "low profile option for a skimmer. Returns seems to produce spurts of micro bubbles every now and again. I will say contrary to most reviews the ghost skimmer had a quick break in period, but is the loudest little skimmer.

how are you liking the Prime? I am putting a white one over my fusion 20. I love the white on black look.

It's nice, low par. Does have the disco ball effect, but not the color separation that others have talked about. I personally would have put a xr15 or A I 26 over it but was trying to save some $$.

I fit a reef octopus ns80 in my skimmer section ,beast little skimmer once it's run for a few weeks.

Same tank? Got a thread?

Yeah I was going to go with an XR but I wanted to save some money. It will work for my needs with the style tank I am going for.

 

It's working for btas and I've seen clams ....well as happy as a calm under them. They must be doing something right??
