some pics of a 30% water change (every 3 weeks it's a 15% water change usually)



corals from the top (only T5 and moon lights on)













the emptying took about 10 minutes and about 15 minutes filling up after.

Default Skimmer

Fantastic tank, looks really good!!!

I am curious to know what you think of the new skimmer and what pump you are using on it. I have a 900 and have mixed feelings although i suspect part of my problem has been the pump.

I would welcome your thoughts.

Thanks

Steve

Looking good Josie! Do you ever have any problems lowering your water level like that for water changes? The last time I did a water change like that all of the coraline algae out of the water bleached on me and I lost a stupid amount of color from a few acros.
