Rate a skimmer based on the volume of a reef. As long as the volume running thru the skimmer is many times that of volume in the reef, you should be able to maintain rather good water quality. of course taking into factors like bubble intensity, water/bubbles reaction time etc. and of great importance, the water exhange rate between main reef and sump. (if skimmer has water flow channeled from sump). Needle wheels are good at bubble intensity but do consider the water flow thruput into the skimmer... remember, the needlewheel itself alone would restrict substantial water flow. I can only see the reason that 2 skimmers are employed on a reef is the amount of water that needs to be channeled into them to maintain proper water conditions. No standards as to how much thru put here but I reckon the more the merrier ... hehe IMO, Fire up your current unit with a MD 55 and you should be able to accomplish the above.

Alfa, Any updates? Some shots of your reef and the numerous gems in it would be good...

I work with swops first. any leftovers will be placed in the pasar malam forum.

"Not equal... but proportional." And calcification should be the same. I would suppose that for every 1 meq dkh increase would be the equivalent rise of 20ppm CA. Max, Are you stating that Rowalith gives a lower dkH reading compared to ARM ?

Maybe the addition of a red acantherus echinata to the proposal might help speed up the process...

Thanks to all who support in the clearing of the mentioned livestock. Great to have many PMs regarding the fungia but would very much like to reserve them for frag trade. BTW, the fungias are less than 1 inch across. so would only look good in nano setups

Very nice. and also with a very nice price.

The first guy who can offer me something to trade..?? hehehe. a frag of pink zoos would be good.... or maybe a frag of acans

OK.. hot pink.
