Daniel Name Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hello! My actual tank is quite hard to maintain due to some mistakes I did when I was starting. All life is doing good but I decided to build a new tank, a little bigger and prepared for the Triton Method. Specs: - Tank: Custom 40g tank 30 x 24 x 14 - Sump: Custom 26 x 16 x 12 - Light: 2x AI Hydra 26 - Circulation: 2x WAV Pumps 1x MP10QD - Skimmer: Skimz SN123 Nyos 120 - Return Pump: Sicce SDC 7.0 I'm still working on plumbing. Once I finish I'll move to the correct spot. Quote Link to comment

Daniel Name Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Thanks! A quick update: I replaced the 2 WAVs for 1 MP10. WAVs are too strong for this tank. Hopefully one day Neptune make one smaller version. I also replaced the skimmer for a Nyos 120. Skimz 123ND pump simply stopped working for the second time.. Nyos is doing very well so far. I'm impressed with how silent it is compared to other AC skimmers. Quote Link to comment
Justind823 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Wow! Awesome build. Great choices all around Interesting to hear about your Skimz pump giving out. I'm using one for my return and it started giving me trouble the other day. Quote Link to comment

And now that I'm using Nyos and seeing the foam I realized Skimz pump wasn't working as it should for a long time. Quote Link to comment
