yes i feed rods food... and yea i mean ive never had a problem with the HOB with all the other corals they all look healthy I just want to get one for the SPS.. and yes Erik I was going to get one just to check the entire next week that my parameters are looking good

pnavarro170 · 03/30/2011, 11:00 PM

i know but yeah i do believe now is that constant water changes are not good for sps, if so make them smaller changes to not upset the good balance too much.

bmw_zoan · 03/31/2011, 05:36 PM

yes i do that to I dont like to change my water as often... i change it just because i dont have the skimmer so i imagine i will be changing less when i get the skimmer

Beto, the HOB skimmer I recomend for your tank is the the one I had prior to installing the sump, The Octopus BH 300 http://coralvue.com/dbh300/ this skimmer did a great job on my tank. it has two pumps but you only need to use one, this lets the skimmer have 1 input and two outputs in turn keeping the bubbles in the skimmer

bmw_zoan · 03/31/2011, 09:34 PM

whats the prize on that skimmer?

mistaflicksta · 03/31/2011, 09:41 PM

about $140

bmw_zoan · 03/31/2011, 09:47 PM

well that sounds reasonable... is it skinny so i can hang it on the back of the tank?

mistaflicksta · 03/31/2011, 09:50 PM

•Dimensions: 11.5″ x 3.75″ x 18″
so you need at least 4 in of space behind the tank

the pump goes in the tank

bmw_zoan · 03/31/2011, 09:55 PM

i think i might I am running a HOB that is for a 90 gallon.. so its a little big for the 57 gallon but i think there is enough space... if I happen to get this one where can i order it?

pnavarro170 · 03/31/2011, 10:10 PM

well id get that one but with just the one pump. should be enough right ??
