I haven't updated this thread for a while. Here's the latest...
Well last month I finally upgraded my Sump to a bigger one and just this month upgraded my protein skimmer to a Euro-Reef. It's still breaking in, but starting to pull out a bit of gunk. These pics are straight after I upgraded.
The white filter is there just to stop the fine mist when the water goes into the sump and bubbles pop!
I had to do a bit of manoeuvring to get the skimmer in, and I also had to redo the overflow pipes so I can fit the skimmer. But the good news is that it is much quieter.
Then had to get a plastic box in the sump which couldn't quite fit by only 3mm!!!!! :evil: So had to do some creative cutting and finally got it in. I needed this to prop up the skimmer otherwise the water level would be too high. You can just see the black box in the picture.
Here's some pics of the skimmer:
I made the mistake of going into HFF last weekend. Came out with an empty pocket of money and a bag of goodies . Pictures to come, but now have a nice large Yellow Leather, medium/large orange mushrooms (couldn't miss this opportunity!), and a Gainford Goby. The mushrooms cost the most at a premium of $110!!!! I hope my wife doesn't see this thread :oops: ) I now need to pluck up the courage to slice and dice the mushrooms and spread it around the tank. That should make it worth while
