start telling us wat do they use in the filtration system.

[Earth]

lots of coral chips in the overflow compartment and a piece of miserable cotton

[hotlemond]

nitrate factory. if there's nothing you can do, change them often and feed sparingly. I dun think there are any chance to hook up a skimmer rite?

i thnk the best part is the bloody cost!!!!!!!

i never ask the $$. went in and the guy show me the filtration system and we smiled, turn away and walk off. so wat's the figure like for a 3 feet?

[Earth]

I read from the forum that Aqua C Remora may be able to fit in. Heard that it is good, any comments?

how often should i change the coral chips?

Don't change the coral chips! Remove all coral chips and bio balls and get a powerful skimmer...

Maybe you can show some pictures of your current setup?

bro, U must check whether any space for these installaton...esp the back filter...seems cannot fit in leh....i dun know....also, i advise you to remove everything.... as some reefers mentioned get a better skimmer to remove all waste....also, you may in future need some FR to reduce PO4 ...so must check any space allocated for these......if you go for corals.....lightings and chiller must consider in too.......IMO!

yah, i got the same response about the "no change water too". So immediately ask to see the filtration system.

$4000

[wil_lee76]

what u can do now is to check the back filteration system...see can fit in any good skimmer....and rem...must ask yourself..."ARE you intending to keep corals?" or " only fishes?"

if going for Fish only, then i think it ok...go for good skimmer....

Remora is a better skimmer. I have completely no idea how to hook it up there. Best you get to the respondent in that forum and see if he has a pic or more details.

[wil_lee76]

bro, post some pics of your whole system...so we can advise you...

[Earth]

hi wi_lee76 & sunkistc, really not enough space for a big skimmer, got a small space beside the tank for a hang-on type, so considering the Remora. I'm not planning to have corals so don't think will go for chiller.

if i remove the coral chips, what filter media should i use in replacement for the overflow compartment?
