    Adding salt. It’s taking a while this!!! Then to add Colony and then finally move my Fire Shrimp in. 10 minutes of dripping water on him before I move him to acclimatise him to the new water!

    And that is that. Skimmer to arrive yet and I’m all done. Got a UV steriliser to hook up too. Had to buy a new bigger one.

    Cheers Gary. I’m not sure what I should be doing with the lights to be honest. The defaults are very long times for lights to be on. I’ve added the lunar cycle to it so it’s a little bit different when it comes to ramping down. I’m currently using 23k with sunrise at 16:30 and sunset at 23:30.
    Would you put it on different things everyday?

    It’s getting delivered in a day or two. Taking a bit longer than I would have liked but getting there!

    Skimmer is in. It’s overflowing a fair bit. Will it need lifting up a bit? It’s set to max which is actually the lowest setting it seems. Any advice is welcome!

    I’ve taken the valve off the end so it doesn’t fully overflow out of the top...

    Hi Liam, first thing is you need to break the skimmer in, on this skimmer on the control arm Max is low skim and Min is high skim don't ask me why but that is how it is...it will take a couple of days to bed in like with most skimmers ....you are looking at getting the bubble to sit at the bottom of the cup, so you might have to rise the skimmer up a bit until you get this something right and then after a couple of day you will need to play around with the Min & Max dial until you get it just right.

    Will have a look out there and see if there are any video's for you.

    Added a few more rocks for height and tunnels. (The big bit right in the middle) I’ll take a pic tomorrow when the blues are not around to kill the picture!
