Wow. This Nyos Quantum 120 is amazing. The build quality is unbelievable. The assembly instructions were easy to follow and I was able to put the whole thing together in under 10 minutes. All it took was a flathead screwdriver. Should be very easy to maintain. Very happy with this purchase so far.

So in order to reduce the waterfall noise in my Fiji Cube 20 Sump I raised my water level in the skimmer section to 12”. This worked great at eliminating the noise. However my Nyos skimmer needs to be in 8” of water to work properly.
so I found this acrylic riser that perfectly lifted my skimmer 4” higher.

Acrylic Riser 6" W x 6" D x 4" H Clear
6" x 6" x 4" Clear acrylic riser is 1/4" thick and has hollow bottoms. It is multi-functional as riser or storage container.

I just filled mine with water and I had a small leak as well. Yup, i forgot to glue a joint.Ran a quick leak test this morning and found a small drip on the return line. After some trouble shooting I quickly figured out that I forgot to glue that joint.
Waiting for glue to dry before trying the leak test again. On a positive note I’m super happy with how quiet the bean animal overflow and Syncra SDC pump combo is!

Finally got around to hooking up the ATO reservoir to the float valve in the sump. Just going with a simple gravity fed ATO. Hid the reservoir behind the couch and used some clips to run the tubing to the float valve.
I used a cheap IKEA TV stand to raise my reservoir higher than my sump.

Picked up a couple of new fish today. Finally got another Midas Blenny which I have wanted since I had one in my old tank a decade ago. Also grabbed a baby Chalk Bass. Off to quarantine they go!

Air Freshener likely cause of a white slime outbreak in my tank:

Thankfully I was able to get it under control within a week with manual removal and some Microbacter Clean.
White slime from my wife’s Pura air freshener?
My tank is about 2 months old and all of a sudden I started to see stringy white slime pop up all over the tank. Thought originally that it might just be part of the ugly tank phase. However I have been researching this and found that white slime is thought to be caused by plug in air...
