Skimmer Help

alf1096 · 06/04/2018, 06:47 PM

Not really new just have a neglected tank that is over run with GHA and majano anemones. Between lack of water changes and running an old skimmer it has caught up with me. I have an 9ld eshopps skimmer rated for my old 65 gal tank. I currently have a 125 with a 30 gal sump. I am looking for a quality skimmer that will work. Don’t need high end just a solid work horse.

And any suggestions on getting rid of the majano would be great. I guess I have 200 or so small ones in my tank. That will me my next task after Gfo takes out the GHA.

Thanks

Bubble magus curve 7 would be a good skimmer for your tank size..

Also.. have you tested for phosphates and nitrates? GFO only works to reduce phosphates.. Algae can also be fueled by excessive nitrates which GFO will do nothing for.

You sure they aren't aiptasia?

Nitrates are zero and I don’t have a phosphate kit yet it’s coming. Here is the pest. Almost 100 percent its is.
