I need to figure out my filtration. Eric said that if I leave it the way it is I will end up with a flim on top the water so I am going to see if we can figure out a way to change it so it will not do that.

Hmmm,... If you were trading your frags then it doesn't count as money toward the tank,.. So I think Eric has to give you the frag to trade,... ya, that works.

No,.. definitally not enough for a clam,.. Actually you may want to keep that tank near sunlight or another tank lights or something, the bulb on those is not very bright.

An LFS near me has one with softies in it,.. they replaced all the tubes in the store with tank lights lol. That tank seems to do quite well though.

you guys saw it over in the other thread (?)

or were you hoping for a skimmer that HOB'd rather than a skimmer for an HOB?

I think the clear tube could be half the diameter and still work (?)
