Ready to do it right!

I keep SPS with a T-5HO. Plenty of tanks way better than mine use them too. You have a 29G not a 30 right? 30" or 36" wide? Any way that Current light would get you into SPS territory and make LTA happier. T-5HO is 40% more energy efficient than MH. Also they run much cooler. The only downside to that current light is it does not have the individual reflectors. If you really want to shoot for the moon you could get one of the TEK series T-5 lights. I still don't think you have to go crazy on a tank that size though.

 

36" wide

 

I got my Coralife Super Skimmer today. ;D

Can I run it in the place of my Skilter, or should I run both of them?

Other than about 35 pounds of live rock, the Skilter is the only filtration.

 

The skilter is probably the sorriest skimmer ever. If you run the coral you would probably not get anything from the skilter. You can just run the Coralife.

 

How is the new skimmer?

 

heck, i have a 55 gal tank with pcs and keep sps and they do great, the montis grow a bit faster than the acros but they r all happy

 

Working pretty good. It is kinda big for a hang-on. I have plans for a 20g sump so that is not an issue. I still need to work on the adjustment. I am getting lots of wet skimate, I want to get it a little dryer.

Does anyone know of a mod to reduce the sucking noise from the air intake?

 

unplug it from the wall.
I had that skimmer and could do nothing about the noise it was in my bed room and some nights my wife would make me unplug it

 

Not exactly the answer I was looking for.:-/

Again, I think this will become a non-issue once I put it in a cabinet with the sump.

 

You have the original silenter on it don't you? My 125 was wasn't noisy. How deep do you have your pump?
