| Re: Over Skimming
I'm one of those people who overskim. Shoot, I am running an ASM G4+ on a 125g reef. I have no problems with my cheato and other macro growing in the fuge but then again I love to overfeed the tank. My clams and other filter feeders seem very hapy with the arrangement as do my snails and conchs. I always get that green haze on the glass so when I clean the glass it is dinner time for them. I also feed a variety of food for he fish and the corals. I have very little unwanted algae so I use nori to feed the algae eaters.
It may seem counter productive but all I can say for sure is that my paramaters rarely move at all. I do a 20% water change every other week and that replaces the trace elememts.
On my 20g I run an AquaC Remora. Again many would consider this ovekill. This tank does not have a sump or fuge so I still get a bit of algae in it but thanks to the AquaC it is fairly minimall and pretty easy to deal with. |
