Work very hard to keep one variable constant while using the other to tweak skimmate performance. If your skimmer is producing too much wet foam (watery), then reduce air or water flow slightly. If you get very little or no dry foam, then increase water or airflow slightly.

In gross terms (and in every definition of the word gross), ideal skimmate should be darker than light, and more thick than thin. Were looking for "strong coffee", not "weak iced tea" here.

I now turn our focus to skimmer styles...

Air-Driven:

Air-Driven skimmers were the first models to enter the hobby in co-curr

Indeed, many corals kept inappropriately under modest illumination can ultimately thrive, grow and reproduce if supplied with food to compensate for the deficiency in available carbon from weak photosynthetic activity.

The topic of feeding corals, however, is another matter of great significance. Rest assured though that most every coral requires at least some feeding, and most should be fed several times weekly if not small amounts daily. How they procure their meals and by what method varies by species. Some corals feed organismally (zoo- and phytoplankton "particles"), o

Necessary equipment:

5 gallon bucket, trash can sprinkling can or sink. Hose or other source of water. Waste drain. Chlorine. Dechlorinating agent.

2. Remove decorations

From aquarium (or in some cases of bleaching the whole system, remove livestock). Place in bucket, being careful not to drip water. Take materials to area where chlorine is to be used, preferably outside to prevent staining floors.

3. Add approximately one half cup of chlorine bleach

Per gallon of water that covers ornaments being cleaned. Use warm water to clean ornaments in bl
