Wouldn't most it the ozone get blown off by the skimmer though.

Has anyone tried the Enaly with an AquaC EV-180?

I have a 180 gallon tank+30 gallon sump and the enaly seems perfect. I got the JG connector on the AquaC for this purpose.

Thanks

Everything was running up to adding the kick-ick.

The wrasses have found crevices and holes in the rocks. Hopefully they are out tomorrow after the lights come on:confused:

different tactic

I just bought three wrasses at once. All three have setup a cleaning station in the corner of the tank and everybody is over there waiting to be serviced. Looks kind of like the line at DMV:)

Beautiful reply Oama. I'm relying on my 6 stage RO for the pure water.

What do you think about some stress coat in the dip?
Would that just stick to the fish and insulate the gunk. How about a...

Das old tank

Hey aqua,
If your talking about my old 240 I was going for the VHO's but you'll have a penetration problem because the tank is 4 foot tall. The halides will make it further to the bottom.

Stand doors

I wish I had bigger doors, the ones I have pretty much suck. I didn't think about the door size until it was too late, I already had cut the holes for the overflows.
