Elizabeth94 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Dont you just love the aquamax skimmer? It works so good, even on small systems. Im loving mine. Link to comment
bmac16 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Yes indeed! Only prob I've had so far is after using aqua scaping putty. It's has taken over 24hrs for it to "break back in". I don't remember it taking that long with my last reef. But aside from that I am very impressed with it! Dont you just love the aquamax skimmer? It works so good, even on small systems.

Elizabeth94 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 24hrs is very fast! Normal break in period if usually after a good five or so days. I think it took my new skimmer three days to start making the good stuff. Yes indeed! Only prob I've had so far is after using aqua scaping putty. It's has taken over 24hrs for it to "break back in".

My skimmer was already broken in, but after using the putty it started spewing micro bubbles for more than 24hrs Link to comment
bmac16 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Water change day, did some testing Cal- 450 Alk- 8.0-8.3 Mg-1200 NO3-0 PO4-0 My intentions are to run a slightly dirty tank. I'm suprised I still am reading zeros. I thought for sure I would read a little something as heavy as I am feeding 3 times a day Link to comment

bmac16 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 My cherub has become quite a devil! It harasses the wrasse daily during feeding and nighttime hours. It has taken a chunk out of my chips acro. It also picks at my 2 Zoa colonies constantly. Don't think I will try this genus again until I get a very large reef Link to comment

bmac16 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 aww crap, not good. Are you bringing it back to LFS? Yes, I've been noticing there is a TON of pods in the tank. So I've been passing on cleaning the glass to try and populate them to the maximum and get a ruby red scooter or mandarin possibly Link to comment
