Consistency also equals to not getting lazy. I am not a fan of doing water changes to 3 tanks late at night after working for 12hours while collecting rodi water on a timer and carrying around 5 gallon water buckets around the house breaking my back pouring it in toilets 😅
@queencityreefs 15 сағат бұрын
@joesreeflife yes! Laziness is the cryptonite to consistent. I am not either. I started that way but now I have a fairly easy way to do water changes for most tanks. That eliminates not wanting to do it due to breaking my back. Thanks for watching and the the returned support 🙏🏻

What flow rate you put on skimmer just got the 300 can’t find the right spot
@queencityreefs 9 күн бұрын
I have been struggling with that myself. There's no flow to control though? I elevated it a bit higher than the intended mark says it should be at and closed the.air intake almost to a full close. And it's working out so far.

I've been using it for several months now and I'll say that it have been wonderful. I've used other brands that eventually open at the magnet area and release rust in my tank. I have not noticed it at all here. Looks like new inside. Very happy with it.

At 40 bucks a month man, I'd run a goddamn airline outside for the skimmer. And if you can't run a skimmer because it pulls too much out, just don't do any skimming, just run a needlewheel pump in the sump with the air intake going outside.
@queencityreefs Ай бұрын
@Spunk_Mckunkles agreed. Running it outside didn't work for me. But I did find different co2 scrubbing media that puts me at about 15 a month. Maybe less. I personally can work with that. Thanks for watching. 🙏🏻
