    Absolutely love your videos I’m gonna be ordering that same skimmer when they come back in stock. Wanna thank you again for putting out the video on the various 2 return pump. You taught me how to attach the return hose.

    As I mentioned to you once, I have an Octo hang on the back [when the company was still called Reef Octopus] and they are definitely very good and resistant, from the materials to the pump. The best! 👍 - Ramon

    How high is your water level in the sump? I have the same skimmer and tank and trying to adjust it.

    Hey Lauren, Love your videos! Are the rocks in your sump the life bio fil? If so how do you like them?

      @SimpleAquariumsLauren  3 года назад

      Thank you so much! 😁🙌🙌🙌 yeah they are. I really like the fact that they are clean and not bringing any potential nasties from an established tank. But are an awesome way to jump start a tank. Definitely a big thumbs up from me! 😊👍

      @@SimpleAquariumsLauren great to know. I'm upgrading a 46 bow to a 75 and don't want to go through a new mini cycle. Trying to keep all the fish and coral alive and figured I'd give that stuff a try along with microbacter 7 and all of the rock, sand and water in the 46. I guess I'll cross my fingers and pray! lol

    Wow. Great quality skimmer. I dare say you could feed your tank heavily and still keep low nutrients.
