Hi Lynn, thanks for stopping by. That is weird, I was just visiting your thread while you were probably posting here. Anyway, I actually have 4 tanks to maintain (125, 50, 30, 29), since I am also taking care of my daughter's tank. Since they are all behaving themselves, it is still easier than earlier this year with just the 125 rebuild. It's much more complicated to leave town though! I haven't like the RemoraPro since I got it. The Mag 3 pump stopped working after a few months, but I sent it back and have had it running again for a while now. I often have a film on the surface of the water that I need to scoop out manually and even with only 1 small fish fed very lightly I struggle to keep the nitrates below 5. I added some chaeto a few weeks ago and that and large WCs seems to have done the trick. I used to have the basket with the skimmer, but that really didn't help either. Since I can't remove the pump to clean the sponge twice a week and I won't run it without one I'm not using the basket any more.
