If he's scratching against rocks then has some kind of parasite. It could be flukes or ich. I wouldn't take the chance and would treat with both cuppramine and prazi. I qt all new fish for minimal 4-5 weeks and treat with both meds wether they show signs of a parasite or not. Its just not...
If I were you, I wouldn't get either. I'd hold out until I save enough funds to buy either an octopus. Or an SWC. skimmer. I have an octopus 3000 and im very happy with it. Good luck.
I know fowlr tanks don't require high quality salt but I'd be reluctant to use "the cheapest salt" one can find as some have said here. Why would one invest about 2k or more in fish then throw in any kind of salt just because its cheap. Do you buy a BMW then use the cheapest gas or oil? Don't...
I'm running a Super Reef Octopus 3000 XP INT on my 220fowlr. I have large angels and tangs and feed every day. Ive been running this skimmer for only three weeks now and its already pulling some serious stuff. Its also very easy to clean. You can get it from Premium Aquatics at a decent price...
I would love to get an Achilles as my last tang but get many different opinions from it'll do ok to "they're ich magnets" or too agressive!! so how long have you had yours and has he given you any issues ??(agressiveness / parasites etc)

Tangs: Large male blond naso . Regal tang (recently sold a Dussumieri. It was almost 12")!Would love to add one more tang!
Trigger: large Blue throat / Looking...

I have to strongly disagree with your opinion!!! I was only updating whoever was interested in the progress of my mod for the skimmer. I wasnt giving a step by step tutorial..as mentioned in the thread , there are plenty of pics in the Coralvue forum on RC for this mod. I would also be...

Coralvue send me the converter pipe for the output pipe.(40mm to 1.5") I was then able to connect a T and all is good now. The skimmer has been running for only a week but its doing a great job already!!
Someone on RC posted a pic where they attached a 2"x2x1.5 sanitary T and put a 1.5 pvc piece on the top section for vent. They did have to sand the T in order to for the outlet pipe to fit.
I finally set up my SRO 3000 INT skimmer last weekend. wow...what a nice skimmer! Its perfect for my 210 fowlr and just barley fitted in the sump area and under the stand. Now i know why many people opt for external skimmers. This skimmer was pulling some major bubbles within hours of...
This is some awesome info. Thanks so much for the ideas guys. :encouragement: Will definitely begin looking to redo the aquascaping soon and will post pics & video. This weekend im finally installing my new SRO 3000 skimmer i bought in the group buy... :tickled_pink: thanks again.
