Rice Reef's 120 SPS Reef Tank

[Rice Reef]

It's been a pretty rewarding and satisfying night... Water change, sucked out all the crud accumulated the last three months and replaced the vertex alpha 200 skimmer with the newly acquired BK 200 mini... Here is a pic of it in the sump... Will be tuning the skimmer the next couple days and hope to hit that sweet spot.


If all goes well the vertex alpha will be up for sale!

Well.. let's see how the BK runs first... I have not written the Alpha off by any means. Both are great skimmers but I think the BK may be more practical for my sump.

Thanks! Can I ask the Skimmer King on his opinion on both skimmers?

Alpha 200 vs BK mini 200 with gen 3 pump?

Wow simply beautiful shots! What kind of set up and settings do you use for those shots? If you don't mind sharing.

Thanks. To be honest, my settings vary and it depends if I am using tripod or not, where the lights are etc... I think I shot these at ISO 500, lower f stops as I was using a tripod ( I am usually too lazy and would shoot hand held) and shutter remote. I also used a 2x extender on the 100 macro lens as well.
