Cool, i gave up with the skimmer could not get it to work properly , big big polution problem 4 weeks ago.

My skimmer seems to work okay. Only works if the water level is level with the indicator on the front of the grey body.

And then for a more diffused light (there is a version that is $10 cheaper, but doesn’t have the app, which is going to make setting it up a million times easier:

Thnks,
This realy the only one that might be suitable, as my aquaruim has a lid and i do not want to take it off.

Holy crap the same light here in France 340 euros...

I’m sorry, I assumed it would be within your budget since the Euro is worth more than the dollar. That’s outrageous, not worth 340€. Even though you have a lid, all of those lights would work so long as it’s clear (in fact you want a lid with any lighting option, SW fish like to jump out of the tank). On Amazon, there are other lights similar to the Current Orbit, with a similar number and wattage of LEDs, but I haven’t seen or used any of them in person, so I can’t personally recommend them. I’ll keep looking and see if I can find something in a similar form factor that would work.

Yes i thought the same but even if i buy on web site usa with import costs we are about at 250 euros. before it was not so expensive but the last few years it seemed to explose in duty taxes.

Which skimmer did you get?

Which skimmer did you get?

I got a tunze 9001, which fits nicely in to the lid as the old one. A bit bulky but doing a great job.

Well 2 dead peppermint shrimps ;Nailbiting. I am done buying shrimps...........

the same time i added a Discosoma Red orange and a gorgone. They are doing well .

My water stats are ok so i do not understand why shrimps do not survive ....

After 6 months, i could'nt have a worse start off. Lost 6 shrimps, 2 turbos, a gsp and all the brissel worms gone. On top of that i had a flat worm and asterina invassion. The asterinas attacked my zoas and the 2 colonies are very small now.


I decided to do a ICP test. Well the shrimp loss is due to copper. Here is my link

I also did a test of my RO and well not the best water as i buy it at a dealer. I choose to buy the water as i only have a 60 l tank.

Today im going to change 25 % of the water to try and get most of the copper and Cd out of my tank. I ordered seachem to take the rest out . Hope fully i can get back on the track after this.
