Heath ' s 150 tall build

It's pushing a ton of water still just isn't bubbling like normal. An ideas?
 
Could very well be the chems your using.
Might be salt creep in the air tube also.
 
Definitely the chems. Left for work with nothing 9 hrs later I got this. Good little skimmer lol!

I have also noticed with the ich x my snails have been buried in the sand since the first dose. So idk if there alive or dead buried. I'll start searching Sunday when I do my wc.
 
I'm definitely thinking even if my fish recover I'm gonna end up doing a copper treatment and fallow period in my tank when I can afford and have the time to get a qt tank all setup.
 
So I'm definitely thinking maxspect riptide! Instead on jaebo's. Can wait! I'll have to email on what would be the best size for this odd size tank.
 
I'm really thinking this style of pump would really solve my water movement issues. I just don't think I can cover the tank height with 2 wave makers. So.... 3? Yah I'm into 300 bucks atleast even with jaebo's. Really hoping these riptide ' s are actually in a normal price range.
 
So project qt biocube starts today I'm going to build a stand for it. 2x4 stand with a concrete top. Going to paint 2x4s white and stain concrete dark. Than add some shaded acrylic removable inserts for panels on stand. This stand is gonna hold my ato tank. I will need to build that yet also.
 
Well built concrete is drying!
