Fishman...

Just wondering what auto feeder you use? I have never come across one yet that you can adjust so many feeding times...Are there some pet or pond feeders that can?

no its the ehim it has 4 feed settings but you can have it so it feeds 1 minute after each feed hense 8 feeds or you could run 2..FISH.

I thought after would you probable be the only way to have more than on feeder to get the more feeding times...
I was just looking at the single picture...single option way...would be nice to have one more programmable... ;)
Have to think about getting one...

Hi Chris. The tank looks great it looks so natural the way you have scaped it. Well done. I might catch you at Marks on Saturday if your going i'll be there. What sort of camera did you get in the end it looks like you've got the hang of it. Regards Eric. :cheers:

i do like that motto, as if one breaks you still have 1 or 2 etc still going whilst you get the broken one fixed, instead of being left skimmerless.

hi chris,

4x2x2 tank . i had two turboflotor 1000 in my sump one time, i been told that i am over skimmer taking all foods,plankton,other out which possible nothing for corals to live on and very slowly to mature. i guess it suppose skimmer 50-50 over turn tank.

each skimmer take 1000 lites x 2 out of 100 galons tank...!!!!

i decide reduce one skimmer now didnt make any diff!!!

what your suggest chris !!

fabs tank!! notice you selling fangs not very colourful are they seem all brownish.

cheer steven :thumbsup:

crappy camera m8 nobody says you have to buy any? take a look in person to decide, as with regard to skimmers system is 400gal+ so no prob i think problems will occur in very small systems, i do things my way and they work for me and im happy with the results, you follow whatever route or information you decide to follow.
hope your systems ok and your welcome to have a look round anytime.. ps i dont own a brown coral and all frags are from main tank..FISHMAN... :rolleyes:
