Hey reefers, my skimmer today spoil. im planning to take this chance to upgrade to a deltec APF. however,s tick is coming in on tuesday only. how long can my tank last without a skimmer?

yesterday mine skimmer started making sounds that I did not like and no longer creating fine bubbles.

Open up the pump and use super glue to temporary fix it.

Today shall get a spare...

How long can tank last?? depends on your bioload but I wont take the chance..better put in a temporary one first!

no need to worry just try to feed lesses for now maybe 1-2 time a day and control the amount.

from today to tuesday it bout five days just change ur water right before u input the skimmer it reduce the nitrate or else ur skimmer will skim like hell

one more thing reduce ur lighting period like maybe 5hrs a day this will also let ur LS rest more and comsume lesser food=lesser poo...

if u are feeding forzen food then contrl pellet will be better for now as it have lesser decompose

hope this help u juz my 2cent

your "spare" is a better one!

Think i better get a weipro for the small footprint to standby also.
