Brianemone Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 heres a pic of my planned aquascape :lol: if anyone has suggestions about improving flow and light use via aquascape speak up. the plan is to have the return coming from the right hand side over the top with a seaswirl so it covers the whole tank nicely.

Brianemone Posted October 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 well the new equipment is on order from ocean werx, should be made and ready by next month, cant wait to get that package. filled my tank half way last night just to test things. i will fill everything up this or next weekend. just waiting to see if NSW is going to work out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 what happen the new tech xreef skimmers, i thought you were going to try them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted October 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 i was contemplating them but i havent had enough feedback to justify the expense of an untested skimmer, i have seen the response of oceanwerx customers and so im confident ill be getting value for money.

chimera Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 what model ocean werx skimmer are you getting brian? any type of downdraft, venturi or beckett skimmer require BIG pumps to run them. i am considering the BS2-608 (I think thats the model) but they recommend running 2 x Iwaki 55's or equivalent! adds quite a bit of cost to the skimmer.

Brianemone Posted October 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 im getting the BS1-606, and i'll use the rio20hf that they reccomend. if i ever upgrade to a bigger tank when we have more space (should that be when??) i'll just buy the extension tube for the skimmer and a md55.
