flyhigh123 Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 just wondering how many watts needed for a RBTA? Do u think 2 55w PC will do? the RBTA will most likely be placed up top? Link to comment
JonPM Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Hey Joe, how's the skimmer? What size tank is the RBTA going in? Is it high or long? Link to comment
Hwarang Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 also, will those PC bulbs be 5050? Link to comment
flyhigh123 Posted October 18, 2004 Author Share Posted October 18, 2004 hey jon, the skimmer is working, but i'm getting a lot of microbubbles in the tank... just wondering how to minimize those? the PC bulbs will be one 10k and one blue... Link to comment
flyhigh123 Posted October 18, 2004 Author Share Posted October 18, 2004 the tank is a 30 high, but i have the anemone placed at the very top, 2 inches from surface... i'm hoping the 110 watts should do it ok... Link to comment
Hwarang Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Sounds ok but one thing to keep in mind is that the anemone will most likely not stay where you put it. Link to comment
flyhigh123 Posted October 18, 2004 Author Share Posted October 18, 2004 yah, i know... itll start moving around, but the tank is coral free, so it should be fine... Link to comment
JonPM Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Usually by lowering the suction thingie on the right side. But all skimmers have what's called a "break-in" period of about 1-2 weeks. So for the first couple weeks you will get a lot of bubbles and almost no skimate. Once the skimmer is adjusted to your system, the bubbles will be reduced and skimmate will start filling up the collection cup. Link to comment
