Nothing wrong with water quality, I was just thinking for future chemical warfare once I do get more SPS corals.

, I was just thinking for future chemical warfare once I do get more SPS corals.

Thats one thing a skimmer will not take out and that is why i suggested zeolite/carbon.

Already running carbon. I just dont want the MCE600 to be running at its limits and missing stuff when a slightly larger skimmer could be doing the job easily.

sure a bigger skimmer is better but looking at your tank it is not heavy stocked and the rating on the Deltec skimmers are far more conservative than most so i dont think the mce600 is running at its limit in your tank.

A ap600 insump model will be a next size up from the mce600, but A bigger skimmers is nice to have but if you want to save some money other things can be done to improve water quality.

Even with my monster skimmer on my tank i have to do other things to improve my water quality,

Weekly water changes are very good as it exports waste on a regular basis. something i dont get time to do but notice things do better when i do.

I run zeolite, carbon sometimes, 4Litres of rowaphos. runing a miracle mud sump with algae.

But find that when my nutrients get low my algae does not do well. its a good sign of water quality

I also add prodibio bacteria to help with waste removal.

I feed limited frozen foods.

That is why i suggest that water quality is not just about having a bigger skimmer.

A skimmer will remove about 70% of waste but it cant remove the other 30%.

You can put my Deltec ap1004 on your tank and you will not be able to remove the other 30% of waste. But it will look impressive

I Used to do this, and loved the stuff, until MAF decided to get their knickers in a twist about it

Yep, MAF are losers at the best of times, But don’t forget ERMA who are total losers. All they are interested in is paper work, don’t really care a stuff about the environment. It’s all a cover up to make money.

One thing that make you think is that it pays not to be Honest with them as when you are they screw you.

You will find that most Bacterial product dont have permits as the contents is not fully disclosed. Dumb me for saying what is in the prodibio product.

i have permits for a new bacteria product due out next month. Will advise when I get the product in as I might get 10 hobbyist to do a trial at reduced cost.

That the Fauna Marin one? Damn keen to get in on that one, the Prodibio made a huge difference. Not noticeable at the time, but as soon as I stopped dosing, within a couple of weeks it was pretty obvious

yummmmmmmmmm, AP1004, yummmmmmmmmmm

Will advise when i get the stuff, Yep have be offered distribute Fauna Marin range.

Many new products like high quaility fish food etc.

also.

Will post a link when they update the web site next week.

just dosing reefbooster seems to have made improvements in my tank. purples are coming out on tips of some acro's that never existed before. i only say that as its the only thing I dosed and within 2 days the purples were stronger. throughout the week they faded, dosed again and they increased again.

That the Fauna Marin one? Damn keen to get in on that one, the Prodibio made a huge difference. Not noticeable at the time, but as soon as I stopped dosing, within a couple of weeks it was pretty obvious

what were the differences you noticed, colour, growth etc? i seem to be getting a lot of brown in my lps but the couple of pieces of sps i have seem ok colourwise weird..

The corals seemed happier, but the big difference was the cleanliness of the tank, it always looked good and healthy.
