outerorbiter Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 What skimmers actually fit in the back chamber of those? Are you going to need a skimmer or a reactor? My 20 has been running for about 6 months now with nothing just keep up on the water changes. That is my only complaint about these AIO tanks is you have no room for equipment. I want a clean tank...... Ant that is one reason I do not like clowns.....I had a pair of black and whites and the female would bite me all the time. Stupid fish I plan on a mix reef but mostly lps and want too add a couple more fish so need something. I don't mind having both and they will be a hob type because nothing that will be effective will fit in the chambers. Plus in my main return chamber I have the pump of course, the tunze full osmolator and two heaters. 1 Quote Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 All of my clowns have bitten me over the years. Doesn't really bother me as long as leave the other fish alone. Never had a pair so interested in seeing how this goes with a female being ill. I will try later today to get pics of the wrasse. That video was all I could get from it the other day. wait, the female is ill? what happened? Quote Link to comment
outerorbiter Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 wait, the female is ill? what happened? Sorry not ill I meant when she gets older and protective 1 Quote Link to comment
spectra Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I thought there was a little more room in those? Does Tunze make anything decent that would fit? I guess if you do not mind the HOB stuff. I did have a Remora years ago and they work but was just bulky looking to me. Quote Link to comment

I guess if you do not mind the HOB stuff. I did have a Remora years ago and they work but was just bulky looking to me. I would have to split the return with two pumps for sure. There is more room but seems like they make sure the only skimmer that will be big enough for the water volume is one of their own skimmers. The hob will be fine with me just not sure on the remora or aquamaxx hob 1 Quote Link to comment

The hob will be fine with me just not sure on the remora or aquamaxx hob Seeing you are putting it in the back chamber I think the aquamaxx would be the only option. That remora has the box and pump that goes in the tank itself. Plus the aquamaxx looks like a little more compact of a unit to me. 2 Quote Link to comment
outerorbiter Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Good haul tonight. Found a guy 10 min a way selling most stuff in his tank. Got a fist size rock covered in blue shrooms, a fist size plus rock full of neon green hairy shrooms, a huge green mushroom, a bright green Duncan 4 head frag, a toadstool frag, and 6 to 8 inch Kenya tree. He wanted $75 but I gave $100. Hope it all opens good in the morn for some pics 1 Quote Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Skimmer skimming! Nice! Tank looks pretty clean, are you getting anything dark yet? 1 Quote Link to comment
outerorbiter Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 Nice! Tank looks pretty clean, are you getting anything dark yet?Yes I'm actually surprised to get some funk out already. Swear over night I started getting some algae. Good thing reef cleaners should be here Tuesday or Wednesday. 1 Quote Link to comment

phatsonate Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 HEY OUTERORBITER- Not sure if you are still on the forum- I have been messaging you about the light I got from you in July. Please contact me if you see this, or maybe someone knows him- was hoping that I could get the e-mail receipt for the light for possible warranty work.. Thanks Quote Link to comment

outerorbiter Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Sorry just now getting back on here. My dad died suddenly during December last year, and have been off here. Trying to get moved to another house and starting a new tank. Quote Link to comment
