unsped Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 currently im planning on going back to my nano roots, ill be moving my 40g contents into a modified 15gallon. 15g is 24x12x12 and i will be building a false back to hide the equipment etc.. the pumps are minijets that will be plumbed into lockline tubing, with an overflow on the back wall. there are 3 designs im currently debating. 1) no skimmer no fuge, pumps in each corner 2) skimmer, no fuge, pumps in both corners 3) external skimmer, external fuge (via hob) Link to comment

Neon Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Skimmers take out stuff corals need(plankton,trace elements,etc) exp:gonipora does alot better in tanks without skimmers Link to comment
sdbeazley Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I like number 3, yet meowsirs wouldnt let me vote for anything other then pet the kitty Link to comment
Help Please Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Skimmers take out stuff corals need(plankton,trace elements,etc) exp:gonipora does alot better in tanks without skimmers. This has never been proven they only think it does. Having said that I have to agree anything under 20 gallons doesn't need a skimmer :-P Link to comment

irishbing Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 #3. Even if you dont use a skimmer, you could always have a fuge. Link to comment
SoBe Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 1 because it's the simplest, and no skimmer. 3 would be good w/o skimmer. Link to comment
brandon429 Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I like that one you've posted without the skimmer. What in the world computer program are you using to get those shaded diagrams, cleanest I've ever seen on a web board! Is that a real cad program? Sheesh, MS art bites now. B Link to comment
