  1. Was using the Tunze 9001 in my previous 16G tank. Now am running a 30G tank with this 9001. Considering to change to the Tunze 9004.

    Would appreciate any other suggestions for Skimmer better/equal to the 9004.

    My 30G is an IOS tank, so compartment to mount Skimmer is only about 13cmx13cm.

    TIA

  2. Not impossible but very tricky. For example, you have a few big considerations to consider.

    1) The bioload will increase, so can your existing system handle it sufficiently or is there another system in 2nd tank, and only sharing chilled water. 
    2) Need to plan very carefully on both pumps used to prevent overflow on a tank when the other pump fails, or if pumps are not matched perfectly.

    3) The distance between tanks could cause an increase in chilled water Temperature, thus your compressor may kick in longer and more frequently than usual. Worst case, is perpetually running if temperature increase during piping is too much.

  3. Thanks for all the responses. If I have not replied you, please message again, sorry.

    can pm me where you got it from and ard what price? for toadstool you need plenty of lights?

    Got it 2 years ago from SeaLife, can’t remember the cost, but shouldn’t be expensive as this color quite common, you shouldn’t have problem finding in a few LFS, I think.

  5. You would have heard this before, but still, check your water and find the reason algae keeps growing in your tank.

    Personally, no algae eater will be able to clean any tanks especially not in the long run. They can help a bit, but they can’t rid it of all algae.
    I’ve tried snails, crab, algae blend and urchin. I can’t say any of it really worked as expected. Or maybe I’m just unlucky.
