Thanks guys big help. One last thing, when you say clean the cup do you mean like clean it every couple of weeks?

Thank you for explaining that for me, so is it a case of trial and error on how to set the air in take? As in watching what the tank and corals are doing? I did notice that when I had it turned up higher my mushrooms & hammer head looked smaller, could that be down to over skimming?

Nice on thanks, that sounds good. If i did a water change on the tank then transferred the old water into the bin i would have 60 ltrs which should be enough then i will leave that at the new house for a day or so to get back to temp then i will transfer the fish etc. could i not put corals &...
