Rory282 Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 So today is maintenance monday, just did a 5 gallon water change and everything is looking happy again. Started using natural seawater again and everything is just doing great. I tend to overfeed (i know not good in a small tank) and big weekly water changes are necessarily to keep my tank healthy. Really thinking about upgrading my fusion 10 to a waterbox cube 20. What do you fellow reefers think about this? I would run a tunze 9001dc skimmer instead of the eheim air driven skimmer and transfer the other equipment to the new tank. @DaveFason do you think the gooseneck on my tide would be long enough? (i have got the 9" one) new pics: This is the filter after about 3 three days, it's really dirty 😲 1 Quote Link to comment
SURVEYMAN46123 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Looking good man! I heavily feed my tank as well, and waterchanges are key in keeping my tank happy and healthy. 3 Quote Link to comment

DaveFason Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 @Rory282 the 15" would be a better option. 1 Quote Link to comment

Tamberav Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I used to upgrade like a mad man but now I would be tempted to let it all grow in nice then upgrade when you ran out of room. It looks really nice, the scape and everything! 2 Quote Link to comment

The fridmani doesn’t want to share his cave with my peppermint shrimp 😉. Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I have one of those in my 22g and could not add shrimp...tried and he didn't want to share his rock pile either and the shrimp is not very smart and kept going to his side of the tank. Quote Link to comment

I bought it from reef tops, you can find him on facebook or i can pm his email if you want. The guy is uk based and a great guy to work with. On other news, that little skimmer is working great. The only downside right now is it takes a while before it skims after feeding. How much was your lid from reef tops? Any companies in the US that does these? Quote Link to comment
