Hi Guys Thinking of ditching my internal skimmer and plumbing up an external skimmer straight to the overflow of my tank. Is this unnecessary ? what are the pros and cons? Thanks in advance Dean

What do I do next? Perplexed!!!

I'm using kalkwasser from aqua medic.....I have deltec kalkwasser maybe I should switch?

I have doubled the recommended amount of 1.5inch in the kalkwasser mixer.... And I always check my ph meter with fluid before and after I test. Could my skimmer be too small?

We have huge carbon box filters on the ventilation units on most building here in Norway ! it helps with pollution levels and provides clean air for staff…..in the Saltwater world you sometimes expect the advice received as a bit of magic, as we find unusual solutions to our problems! Thanks...

Thanks for the advice so far….Im based in Norway just outside Oslo I will try the carbon box thats a good idea….. My livestock looks happy but I recently lost a bunch of lps for reasons unknown as my values are stable….so a LFS said my pH was too low and that turned the water acidic for LPS...

Thanks Subrosa I do Understand that I cant call it a "Red Planet" because there is no trace too ORA ..........and I do Understand that ORA are not creating new corals. Please give me a little credit. Other members and myself didnt know until today that ORA dont import to Norway so it could...

thanks for the advice! I never knew that It was a quarter of a silverside , I usually feed my nems bite size chunks of raw tiger prawn is this also wrong? I will go buy krill today.... any other advice is greatly recieved. Thanks Dean

Just a final update..... After 2 days the anemone was looking very well settled, so I fed it some silverside and it ate it immediately. I also introduced my clowns back in the tank a day after that. It hasnt moved and is loving its spot in the waveflow and close to my light.
