You should get the toms surface skimmer attachment for the aq70. That will clear up that surface skum

How much did this all cost?
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS - 9 years ago
+wilca99 Tank $40, Filter $70, Heater $25, Lights About $ 300 Forgot exact price, lace rock $40, Gravel $30, Protein Skimmer About $150, 2 circulation pumps for $15 & $25,  5 Gallon Salt for $60  and that gives a total of $755; without fish and coral...however their are ways to do cheaper setups, I rushed and didn't do research properly but if you watch everything carefully and buy wise you can save a lot more!

Dude the tank is really coming on. I would point your powerhead that is in the back right at the surface as you look like you have a film on the surface. That film will effect your PH and also your Tanks oxygen. Everything is looking awesome pal can't wait to see more.

+The Inquisitive Fish Guy 71 Well you have 2 Purple Algae. Cyano which is an unsightly nuisance. Or Coralline which is beautiful but hard to grow. You need to keep your Calcium high to help it's growth.

As long as the one you have is rated for your your size tank you will be fine as the water will be sucked blown across the top and sucked in across the bottom. So you still have movement across your sand bed. If you start to get a build up of brown algae on your substrate then you may need an extra powerhead

+Aarons Aquarium Thanks for watching and thanks for the tip! Do you think I should add an additional powerhead after I turn it toward the surface for under water flow or would my one be okay?

+The Inquisitive Fish Guy 71 Not sure of the name, I just call it an oily film. The film massively reduces gas transfer and can in turn mess with your parameters like crash PH and make fish very sluggish as they struggle to breathe. It's the same for freshwater pal that's why people use air stones so the bubbles pop at the surface to agitate it. I wouldn't use a Air stone in a reef tank though as the bubbles can irritate the corals. Lots and lots of surface movement is key.

Looking good. I would suggest to get a surface skimmer for your AC HOB so that you can get rid of the film that I see on the surface of the water. Pico makes a great one. I bought one for my AC when I was using mine and it worked great. Do you have an auto top off? I would suggest to get one if you don't have one. I'll send you the link for the surface skimmer. Cheers.

Nice video bro. I'm still not sure if I'm going to use a protein skimmer but I am going to get an auto top off unit to save me from always topping off the tank. I'm running the same filter. I love aquaclear's
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS - 9 years ago
+MASS Aquariums Aquaclear's are awesome! Also I've read that a protein skimmer isn't always needed because some corals are said to prefer slightly dirtier water! At the end of the day its all about your setup and your specific tanks requirement's!
