Hi guys, nice forum going on here, Im Gerard...
I have found marine tank to be my new hobby, but Im a little bit stuck with a problem...
I knew nothing about marine tanks, so I wanted to build my own one, I went shpping for a filter, so I learned about protein skimmers, so the guy sold me a hang on Via Aqua Multi skimmer, so I went and designed my tank to use this filter, and Ordered my glass, and build it, left it for a month to dry, and then I went and bought R1500 crushed coral, bio rock, testers, and salt, mixed the salt, and let the tank circulate for 4 weeks, then on saturday I went and bought 3 Stemps, and 3Clownfish, my Nitrate tested 0 and PH 8.0, and salt 0.020 - 0.022...
No one clownfish didnt want to eat, he died last night, tested my water and Nitrate is 1.0g/L so now Im woried that the filter/skimmer is not doing hisjob right...
have anyone here have experience on this skimmer, or a solution to my problem?
oh and is there a place where marine stuff is cheaper here in GP...dam its and expensive hobby, I've got a Fiesta ST and it overtakes my car by far...hahaha...
