I’m looking for some filtration suggestions on my 75g. It’s non drilled and I’m only running a hob skimmer that’s not nearly enough. 2 clowns, Royal gramma and small blue tang.
I’m looking for something that will either replace the skimmer entirely or help it tremendously. I’m thinking maybe a canister filter…any recommendations on this?What're you looking for? A different skimmer? Some type of weir box that would drain into a sump? More rock or other biological filtration?
I don't have any suggestions personally but do know someone here that runs a sumpless 90 packed with coral. What skimmer are you running?I’m looking for something that will either replace the skimmer entirely or help it tremendously. I’m thinking maybe a canister filter…any recommendations on this?
It’s a bh1000 hob skimmerI don't have any suggestions personally but do know someone here that runs a sumpless 90 packed with coral. What skimmer are you running?
Do you have a build thread for this person? Maybe i could get some ideas from their setup.I don't have any suggestions personally but do know someone here that runs a sumpless 90 packed with coral. What skimmer are you running?
Not looking to add a sump at this time.Hob overflow, and make a sump........? Then you can refugium, skimmer, and all that crap?
No build thread but I'm sure I could. Possibly. Get some picsDo you have a build thread for this person? Maybe i could get some ideas from their setup.
This seems to be the best option and inexpensive. Why are you looking to add filtration? Any issues? Reactors are another hang on back option. Great DYI projectHOB filter with filter floss or filter media is the simplest. There are in tank filters like the Aqua Auto Aqua sumpless ATO system, and Tunze comline. My first 75 gallon had a canister filter. I won’t go back to those.
Tired of looking at a gross tank. Weekly water changes and the hob skimmer just isn’t cutting it.This seems to be the best option and inexpensive. Why are you looking to add filtration? Any issues? Reactors are another hang on back option. Great DYI project
Gross meaning algae? What’s your parameters? Any pics? Corals? Maybe we can advise a better plan.Tired of looking at a gross tank. Weekly water changes and the hob skimmer just isn’t cutting it.
Yeah algae and unfortunately no corals at the moment.Gross meaning algae? What’s your parameters? Any pics? Corals? Maybe we can advise a better plan.
Maybe no corals is a good thing till you get sorted out. So do you test your water? Results? The more you tell about your system the better we can help. Feed heavy? Vacuume sand? Water changes? Turkey baste the rocks? Any other maintenance?Yeah algae and unfortunately no corals at the moment.
got some green watermelon shrooms if ya want buddyYeah algae and unfortunately no corals at the moment.
I’ll definitely take some as soon as a get my tank back on track.got some green watermelon shrooms if ya want budd I’
I do 25 gallon water change once a week and i don’t vacuum the sand. I’ve got strong random flow in the tank and I’m not sure if i feed heavy or not. I feed NLS pellets once a dayMaybe no corals is a good thing till you get sorted out. So do you test your water? Results? The more you tell about your system the better we can help. Feed heavy?

Well I would definitely test everything so you know what’s going on in your tank. Vacuuming is an easy way to export detritus or left over food. If you don’t have test kits try your LFS.I do 25 gallon water change once a week and i don’t vacuum the sand. I’ve got strong random flow in the tank and I’m not sure if i feed heavy or not.
